how many Masons do you suppose have much experience designing & controlling money? I mean, really? They're not a small, select group you know. THere are lots & lots of them, all over the place, and most of them are electricians and plumbers and insurance salesmen, etc. Even up at the elevated degrees. My grandfather was a 32nd degree mason and he was a frickin' millwright. americans haven't made a dime out of vampires and werewolves; many have made money out of popular delight in scary stuff though.
