  I can't  remember, the gentleman's name, who said, to Dan Quail.   I knew John Kennedy and your no John Kennedy.

  Well, "ME", I was a SHRINER and your no SHRINER.  After I retired, I no longer could afford to be a Shriner, I had to drop out.  In order to be a SHRINER, you had to be in the  Masonic Lodge,  Scottish Rite, SHRINE and you had to pay dues in all three to be a a SHRINER.   With the constant barrage of, SHRINE Circus tickets, SHRINE baseball tickets, SHRINE football tickets and requests for monthly donations for the SHRINE Hospitals, I had to drop out.  Not only me, but a large group of SHRINERS could no longer handle the expense.  Due to this two or more SHRINE Hospitals have been closed down.

  The Mason's, the Scottish Rite and the SHRINE do charity work.  "ME" WHERE IS YOUR CHARITY?  I still belong to the Masonic Lodge and the American Legion and they do charity work.

   It seen to me a whole lot of people need charity and there some people who want to talk about where to find it, but not pay a damn dime into it.

  Silence is golden when one does not anything about a subject, like charity.  Even a big mouth catfish wouldn't get caught, if he hadn't open his mouth.

  It's getting to be spring and I want you to go out and look at the first Robin's nest and look down and see the baby Robins with their mouths open and fill of shit and take along pause and think, think and think.  Henry. :confused: :confused: :confused: :yes: :o :o :yes:

I understand that there is a certain amount of charity which comes from the tax payers but what about McDonald House, the Shriner's, and organizations of that sort which are private donations and have nothing to do with taxes.

You really don't know that those organizations only cover a small percentage of those who need the care?

Oh, and, by the way, the VAST majority of those in this area who use the Shriners' Hospital are white and very christian.

Does that change your perception?
Ignorance and fanaticism are ravenous. They require constant feeding.

  Do you know what you will never find in a Shriner's cripple children and children burn hospital.  A cash register.  Also they didn't care what color, what race or religion the children were.  I never been to a burn center, but I talked two big, strong Shriners who went and seen them peal the burnt skin off a burned child and both said, they didn't want to ever see it again. :angel: :angel: :angel:  Thanks for the Shrine and The Shriners.
