I'm just quoting this for the record.

Aren't they one's responsible for the career of Steve Gutenburg?

Now they've done it. I officially hold a grudge against these cult clowns.

They help people in need.

They help people in need.

And then some.

The masons are, largely, a silently charitable group. Men of good character banding together to work towards moral greatness and the service of others.

I realize my view of freemasons is simplistic but I can't shake the thought that with the exception of the aprons, to an outsider a freemason ritual would be indistinguishable from a Ron Paul campaign rally.

You know all that masonry work that everyone needs done? They do it for free. The fact that they do it for free means everyone keeps tracking them down to do work, which is why they became a secret society.

well the Shriners branch have a habit of driving around in little cars and they wear odd hats.

Its just an acient secret society. Those that are part of it usually get special business deals from the other members, and Ive heard of people being turned down for jobs because another less qualified guy that was a mason got it. They tend to help each other out and identify themselves to each other with code phrases. For example "is this a Square Deal?" is in refrence to the Compass and Square, their symbol, and means that the deal is only given to those that are masons.

Some belive that the foudning fathers of America were Masons. IF you look at a over head map of washinton dc there is a clear Pentagon, also a Square and Compass symbol made by the roads around the capitol and the white house. Also a Visica Pisces is visible around the Washington monument (which is also a oblisque, in refrence to the Eqyptian heritage of free-masonry - theres a reason that its there, its not random). Most everything that is built by governments or big business have a symbol from freemasonry hidden in plain view.

As far as their motives as a Secret Society /shrug. By in large the average free mason is just there to drink and socialize. its the upper levels that see the benifits of the money that flows in from donations or fees from the lower levels.

Honestly, I have a hunch that these secret societies are all going to disappear over the next 30 years. Kids these days just think they are silly, and the 'secret' is out there on the internet for anybody to find. (pssst, the answer is "More Light")

Do you notice the eye on top of the pyramid shown in your dollar bills?

It is the freemason imagery for the Architect who is the first to see the greater reality and build the world around for us.
