...Freemasons aren't busy running the world, what exactly is it that they do? The outer mission is to be of service to the greater community, donating to charities and Masonic youth groups, like the Order of DeMolay for boys and Rainbow Girls, which encourage kids to be good citizens and give them social circles that are supervised by adults and are more positive than hanging out on street corners. The organization is also based on a kind of stoic philosophy, to become the master of your own passions - don't fall prey to your emotions, to anger...
...allow more foreign workers into the country to help offset the shrinking labor pool. DPJ lawmakers also want to improve the lives of younger Japanese workers by curbing the hiring of temporary workers by manufacturers, a widespread practice that over the last decade or so has relegated many youth to second-class-citizen status.

Yet even in Iraq, al-Qaeda's efforts to gain control of the resistance failed because its ideology and tactics were so loathsome to even the bulk of the Sunni insurgents fighting the Americans that they eventually made common cause with the U.S. against the jihadists...
...attacks have sparked wide-ranging discussions on racism and discrimination in Australia, a nation still raw from the 2005 Cronulla race riots where thousands of Anglo-Australians engaged in violent clashes with Australian youth of Middle Eastern appearance at a well-known beach in Sydney's south. The country is also grappling with an upsurge of ultra-nationalism among some younger Australians. The issue facing South Asian students is far larger than a few isolated - and possibly opportunistic - attacks, says Unni, the Sydney coordinator of the Federation of Indian Students of Australia.
