It was like watching a Michael Moore program. It made a lot of sense but also had that "trying to rule the world" kind of feel to it. I was never into conspiracy theories, but after watching I want to be a Free Mason now. Reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons were homer joins the Stone Cutters.
Makes watching the Manchurian Candidate seem more real. Both Bush presidents are members of the Skull and Bones group. They had a cool story on how Ronald Regan disliked these societies and ended up with George Bush as his running mate. Then 2 weeks after he gets elected he has an assassination attempt.
Just wanted to see what your point of view would be.

Freemasons.
You're a freeborn man of age that believes in a supreme being, right? Essentially all you have to do is go ask them.
But, you will have to live to high moral standards.

That would be one of the problems the Masons have to deal with: they can't go out and recruit, but they can't really announce themselves, either. So they use the Shriners to show how much fun you can have (lots of alcohol...), while still helping crippled or burned children.
Depending on where you're located, the Grand Lodge may have a website, such as the Grand Lodge of Texas. The Lodge Locator is pretty useful if you're looking for a Lodge in your area. Also, depending on the Jurisdiction, the age requirement varies between 18 (Illinois, Nebraska, a few others) and 21 (Texas and most other jurisdictions). More information is always a good thing.
The rule is: To be one, ask one.
Now you just have to find one....
