I grew up in a Masonic family and there didn't seem to me much of a power base in the local organization at all. That's not to say that a lot of very influential people aren't Masons.

My grandfather was a mason, my mom was a rainbow girl, my dad an elk. Didn't help me much.
Growing up I got interested in conspiracy theories (not as a believer, mind you), so I've read a lot of that stuff. Masons, Illuminati, secret societies of various sorts, Trilateral Commission, Bilderbergers, etc. Skull & Bones has only gotten recent attention, mainly from their connection with the Bushes. Its hard to cut thru the nonsense to see what is/is not real about these groups... There is going to be a level of networking. Its true in ANY organization you're a part of. But what some people came about this? little over board, I think.
