what exactly is a (free)mason?
i see the insignia "G" with angles added on the top and bottom on some license plates. i know they worship at a masonic temple. exactly what does this group do? i also hear they have a certain handshake to distinguish one another.

I saw that you had replied to this and was expecting a full and clear explanation....
Not quite sure why though ....

Not me James. I think I could a attempt a historical explanation of it's origins if I wasn't quite so Jack Danielized at the moment. I'm the wrong bloke to ask about the modern 'thing'. I've resisted more attempts over the years to get me to join than you could shake a stick at! I'd probably be a wealthier man today if I had joined!

Even more worrying James is that in the legal profession in London, certainly, you're unlikely to get anywhere unless you're a mason. Many Judges are masons. The Murder In The Red Barn is a case you really ought to look at for a case where the defendant about to be sentenced to death threw the judge a masonic distress signal! Well documented! 
Oh dear I'm getting drawn in!!

Any idea where I can find out about that case....? Sounds interesting.
There certainly is a lot of it in those closed circles, I have a few friends who are baristers in London and am sure that they are "in the club" (
). Maybe I should think about joining
