S&B; is not a boy's club.  It is a society of adults, including college age adults.  The mention of the SS was not to say that S&B; got the idea from the SS.  It goes to show a  possible like-minded mentality.  Why do you keep deleting this?  Because S&B; is so secret that they will not say what they believe in or what they do, all we, the american public have to go on is their chosen name.  Skull and Bones as a name does not breed trust.  Where it has been used before is by poison manufacturers, pirates, and the SS.  If you know of other uses, please list them.  Stop deleting this just because you don't like it.  It is not a rant.  It is an attempt to provide the users of wikipedia an insight into the mind of S&B.;  It is all we have to go on.  Since several ex-presidents were members of S&B;, it is normal that people would want to know what they stand for.  Politicians talk a lot about transparency in government, but how transparent can it be when members of the government belong to secret societies.  The symbolism section should be returned to the article. 

 Please stop deleting parts of the talk section.  It is impossible to discuss the article if you keep deleting what you don't like.
