I don't think there is an answer to your question. Whilst we are
required to be "moral and upright" there are no absolutes in morality.
Also History is written by the winners.
As an historian, I thank you for your compliment. :-)
Another point to be explored is the fact that our Charges state our
position in relationship to plots and conspiracies against government.
But historically, there are other fights, such as the one against bad
business as an example.
While we have going into this century in civil America, an overseas
fight we also have had over the centuries a few folks who did and are
still doing a good job of railing against the machine. I would like to
think that I would always be on the side of the individual, despite
any personal quirkiness, short comings, or temporal hic-cups in
judgment; and always against any machination. My general rule would be
that as a society, both Masonic and public, too much good order
retards progress and ultimately leads to decay.
But enough of my opinion, what is yours?
