PB, maybe the Freemasons would support the New United Nations which I've been promoting. Good point. I'll put it to them, except that their buildings seem to be being sold, generally look a bit run down and disused; I'm not sure that they are much influence. The death notices in the Herald seem to include quite a few of the Freemason symbol. They seem a bit like the Returned Servicemen's Association [RSA], a bit of a has-been.
I'll check the phone book and see if there's a listing. Wow, cyberspace is great. Here they are by the dozen: whitepages.co.nz
Often those clubs for men who missed out on secret clubs in their development years don't go in for politics, which is increasingly dominated by women [in NZ anyway]. Their motto is No Girlz Aloud. Boys should play gang and club from age 10 to 12 then grow out of it. I suspect Masons and a lot of military types suffered arrested development. They were never properly socialized as boys, so ended up hanging around, permanently, in 12 year old boy gangs, but with dangerous toys to play with and narrow attitudes to wider society. They'd join the IRA and fight the enemy! They'd goose-step and wave flags. They'd be the toughest gang in town, heck even the country and why not the world?
What's needed it to leave the Girlz to run the NUN and politics, which is how we do it now in NZ, so there is even a political model to study - some PhDs in political studies could be earned here, while we blokes invent stuff in the shed and explore cyberspace.
