You can't know the extent of their "Secrecy" to judge that, unless your one. But even then, being the nature of "Secret Societies" , even the rank and file could never know how "Deep" it goes, or the reasons why. And to think anything else, amounts to intellectual gullibility.....

I always thought my Kill Room Pizza franchise was a great idea for community outreach.

Yes, small step looking in its application, but look in the other. Why "On" earth is there such a thing as "Secret Societies", in the first place??? Are we all not made of the same clay??? ? Opps, that's a secret...........

Absolutely correct. And from there, it's only a tiny step to wondering if the Mail man is in on some secret plot, as his day is not shared with many......muhahahahahaha!!!!!!

Yep, and that is exactly what it boils down to. Even the most intelligent person('s) on earth can not operate truthfully to their maximum, unless, "all " pertinent information and facts can be seen in the light of the day. Even the most sophisticated computer will give you incorrect answers if it is only given half truths, and facts filled with garbage. Again, garbage in, garbage out! And it only takes 1, "ONE", bad bit of information, to skew the outcome... Regardless of Subject!

I suppose one negative effect from belonging to a secret society is paranoia. Not only do you not know who else belongs to either your secret society or perhaps even a competing secret society, you'll never be entirely sure that you know everything about the society you're in yourself.
Oh, well, you can say you're a 33rd Degree Mason, so you know what's up. But... how do you know there isn't a 34th Degree Mason out there somewhere? Or more logically, a 45th Degree Mason. Hey, both circles and squares have 360 degrees, after all. Who is keeping secrets from whom?
