Is it in Lake Worth's DNA? - A comment on another post by a loyal reader...

The situation is really a continuation of the Freemasons in Lake Worth that dates back to the 1920's. Most ALL who thrived in business in those days were Lodge Members, and part of the Good Ol' Boy network. They filtered out who they could use, what they could get out of a situation, and those not willing to engage in illogical, deceitful or dishonest actions were ridiculed, discredited, and routed out of their business, job and finally out of town. Note; the women from that era also played a vital part, with their Masonic husbands or their memberships in the Eastern Star. If you want to look at current day modus operandi, look at those who gain from the confusion or the ridicule / sarcasm towards others who try to effect positive change in Lake Worth. This rancor has always been rampant, and those who bore the brunt became isolated at best, or counter-hostile at worse. Hence, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The real problems are ignored, and other trivial non-meaning problems are created as diversions. As we used to say in the 1960's and 1970's; "Typical Lake Worth!!!"
