Exclusivity - Go Lean

"Exclusivity is prime, and Masonry is losing that as Grand Lodges pursue the drive for more members, to keep antiquated budgets and programs afloat.

My two-cents: Go lean.

If it doesn't support Masons and improving the Masonic experience it is needless and needs to go away."

King Nothing

Hey!  Do you guys remember when Metallica warned us about what would happen if our motives to become Master were for power?

Careful what you wish.

Careful what you say.

Careful what you wish, you may regret it.

Careful what you wish, you just might get it!

Then it all crashes down

And you break your crown

And you point your finger,

but there's no one around

Just want one thing, Just to play the King

But the castle crumbled

and you're left with just a nam

Where's your crown, King Nothing?

- Metallica, King Nothing, Load 1996

When you know the well is poisoned, but you continue to drink from it...

...what exactly did you expect would happen?
