I don't deny that many individual masons are good people. Any more than I deny that their charities are very generous. It's just that the fortunes that spawn such generosity may well include a certain amount of insider-preference business creation that is the low order corruption I intend. And such low order corruptions can be careless of greater damages to wider society

I believe JaP wrote about the privatisation of welfare under the guise of charity. It is all very well caring for widows and orphans and even fluffy kittens, but such sentiments are very poor antennae for finding the greatest needs in society.
