Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled!
When the business interests, lead by William C. Whitney, pushed through the first instalment of civil service reform in 1883, <strong>they expected that they would be able to control both political parties equally. Indeed, some of them intended to contribute to both and allow an alternation of the two parties in public office in order to conceal their own influence, inhibit any exhibition of independence by politicians, and allow the electorate to believe that they were exercising their own free choice.</strong> - Carroll Quigley

Junto Club

Sudo - Masonic club created by Benjamin Franklin. It later evolved into the American Philosophical Society. They would gather around every Friday night asking a group of questions to each other. <br/> <br/> The membership questions were very masonic in nature: <br/> 1. Have you any particular disrespect to any present members? Answer. I have not.<br/> 2. Do you sincerely declare that you love mankind in general, of what profession or religion soever? Answer. I do.<br/> 3. Do you think any person ought to be harmed in his body, name, or goods, for mere speculative opinions, or his external way of worship? Answer. No.<br/> 4. Do you love truth for truth’s sake, and will you endeavor impartially to find and receive it yourself, and communicate it to others? Answer. Yes. <br/>
