How so? I'll quote another saying... "Loose lips sink ships!"

While there may be truth in Brother Franklin's quote (from Poor Richard's Almanac) I'd venture to say the phrase was mostly tongue in cheek in it's delivery.

I've been here before
I think Brother Ben must have had a crystal ball when he said, "I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand. "

I could tell you ...
That it is how I saw it, thought it could stir up some conversation.
You're always trying to stir up something. ;) Anyhow ... we live in a world where governments are not able to keep even the secrets of nuclear armaments safe and secret. Why would Freemasonry be any different?? Even from the beginning of the Grand Lodge era, there have been 'exposes', etc. We are a 'loose lipped' species.
