Not quite, Jim.  First of all the Masons are a secret society; and the
English Parliament apparantly has some evidence of their involvement
in a Police corruption matter there.  As for the Shriners, their 
members are, by neccessity "Masons" and so their "name" would fit.
As for Blacks, Jews, Rotarians, Lions, Lutherans, Methodists, Catholics
they are not secret societies; nor do they have the adhesive or agenda
that the Masons do.
