Topic: Skull and Bones
I'm sure that many people on this site know that G.W. Bush and John Kerry are both members of Skull and Bones. Skull and Bones is a secret society that each year recruits 15 people in the junior undergraduate class at Yale University. The society portrays itself as a fraternity.
I'm sure that you have heard that the society is or may be involved in all sorts of nefarious activities. I am not asserting or denying anything about their actions.
I am bringing up the concept of prejudice or pre-judging. Pre-judging can be a useful exercise because in some circumstances there is not time to gather all the facts and we need to operate on our impressions.
I am cautioning against assuming that every person that belongs to a given group acts in a certain way.
I am trying to make a more general point that I don't think that we can assume that everyone in the Council on Foreign Relations, Bilderbergers, Tri-lateral Commission, and even Skull and Bones is automatically "bad". Often the greatest degree of power is held by a small inner circle and the people on the periphery may not know what goes on there.
