Ha the masons are a joke. If you read their history it was just some club that went insane. All the masons around me are old middle class retired men with no power of any kind. Its like a moose lodge at this point.

In some ways the Masons seem to operate like LCN.. Those friendly, seemingly innocent old men are the most dangerous.
-------------------- m00nshine is currently vacationing in Maui. Rumor has it he got rolled by drunken natives and is currently prostituting himself in order to pay for airfare back to the mainland but he's having trouble juggling a hairon addiction. He won't be back for a long while.

My grandfather is a Mason. He's pretty high up...I was rummaging through his shit one day and found a masonic gavel with his title engraved into it...something along the lines of "Grand Exalted Leader". He also had what looked like an apron and some ridiculous, square-shaped hat.
Basically, the Masons are a fraternity with extra emphasis on networking. Some of the members do have clout/influence in their "day jobs", and if someone needs something from another member they will rarely be denied. My grandfather used to be Mayor of a pretty big city and people would often call on him for favors. His job helped him ascend the masonic ranks pretty quickly I think.
I've been to Masonic parties before. No paddling, no blindfolded gimps, just by in large a group of nice, respectable old men. The average age is probably about 60, although I remember a few, VERY wierd guys in their mid 20's who were members.
There is a great deal of charity work done. Fundraising and volunteering are extremely popular. Freemasons who want to focus entirely on volunteering usually become Shriners (the guys with the cone-shaped hats).
As to what happens when you reach the 33rd degree or whatever, I have no idea.
