Skull and Bones

After watching the Zeitgeist movie, it inspired me to think up another thing randomly, that is not so different than some of the conspiracy issues pointed out there.

Have any of you heard of the Skull and Bones? It is a secret society from Yale University and the members there go on to be nation leaders often. The group even has their own island because they are just 'all that'. I'd like to hear some opinions on this. This not only promotes American leaders, but also some leaders in areas across the pond in European nations too and elsewhere. There isn't much information on them, but what is out there is interesting and real. This is why I had such a crummy time determining if I wanted to vote for either Bush or Kerry because both were 'molded' for the presidency and I'd rather not have someone in that group being the President.

Here are some sights to peruse if you want to know:

This is a very intriguing topic. I've never heard about this until now, actually. Haha.

I'm not quite sure how I see this is bad. Is it because it's so secretive that everyone is so fascinated in it?

 

I've heard of the Skull and Bones society before. I think it was during the whole Da Vinci Code frenzy all the brain stations I watch. But the particular show stated the Skull and Crossbones was just urban legend.

But such things make you wonder if they do exist or not. Sure the ones that know such things are the members.

Almost reminds me of the Illuminati in a way.

 

These guys aren't as secret as the Iluminati and don't have a cool triangle symbol. It is a real group and has been in the news, even on CNN. Of course, mostly it's just considered a secret society that is just a bunch of guys getting together, making friends and deals for when they get out of Yale etc, and helping each other later on. It's an elitist club as I tend to view it.
