I feel the pressure coming down on my shoulders regarding this damn research topic. I know I have a strong interest in Freemasonry, which would help ease the load of having to do research. Ironically, there was some discussion in today’s class about some Freemason-related topics. English composition suddenly became a U.S. history class discussing originations of the card catalog and the invention of the library. Thomas Jefferson is known to have developed the card catalog and Benjamin Franklin is known to have started the first library. A question was posed in class if anyone knew who started the first library but no one responded, although I did know the answer. Franklin is one of the most prominent U.S. Freemasons next to George Washington. The movie National Treasure was fictionally based loosely on Franklin’s involvement with the Freemasons, which was also brought up in class. This reminded me of The Lost Symbol which had several references to Franklin’s involvement. I think I will read the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, which was also mentioned.
I just had an epiphany: How do the Freemasons affect/impact today’s world?
