1. Are there any members that were not successful in business?

I wonder whether any Skulls and Bones members were just good men, lived ordinary lives, worked regular jobs, and raised nice children.

[Jesus Malverde]

3. There might be a few.

One has to wonder would they considered failures or successes.

[blm]

5. Or sided against power establishment?

As Kerry has done, exposing more government corruption than any lawmaker of the last 5 decades through his persistent investigations that uncovered IranContra, BCCI, S&L deceits, and CIA drug running.

Or:

William Sloane Coffin, Class of 1949 - Nephew of Henry, Presbyterian clergyman and a folk-hero of the anti-war movement of the 1960's.

[blm]

2. You do rely on stereotype to inform your opinion, eh?

Alexandra Robbins posted on DU for awhile. Long before the site was overrun with new members chanting 'both parties are the same'.

She said in all her research for this book she could never find instances where Kerry ever used his college link to Skull and Bones to advance himself in any way, in stark contrast to Bush who used those connections in every aspect of his life.

But don't let that keep you from your heavily dependent use of stereotyping - you also assert that Kerry is a tool of Israel because of his recently discovered European Jewish lineage. LOL - Quick, someone share that bombshell with Bibi.

4. Thanks for pointing out

that individuals are individual and that sweeping generalizations can often defeat the OP's intended point.

[blm]

11. The OP knows so little of Kerry, and thinks he is proving

something here.

He is - he's proving he's entrusted himself to RW propaganda and corporate media portrayals.

9. I wonder how he met his wife?

H. J. Heinz II, Class of 1931 - Ketchup heir, father of future US Senator.

Just curious

[blm]

10. Environmental conference - a shared concern.

She had also been an interpreter for UN fluent in 5 languages. She grew up in Africa accompanying her Portuguese doctor father village to village, attending to people who had no access to healthcare. She protested apartheid on the front lines in South Africa in college. Amazing that so many STILL rely on corporate media's hack job portrayals of Teresa during the 2004 election - do you?

12. He met her at the Earth Summit in Rio, 1992

Far from the Yale campus!

14. A Scroll and Key member posted here?

[Jesus Malverde]

16. Heres what she had to say

[THECHOSEN1]

18. Not sure

Anyone paying attention today would ever assert someone from this administration as a "tool of Israel."

[polynomial]

6. This list has some exordiary history

What jumps out to me in the list is William Averill Harriman very rich hire to the Banking community eventually connected to the Nazi’s in world war two. The real kicker is Prescott Bush also connected to what they called trading with the enemy law at that time.

Better yet Herbert Walker Bush worked in UBS banking company while Harriman would deal in railroads especially the Union Pacific that now runs public relations commercials advertising on television about building America.

Today all this happening while Union Pacific is shuttling container freight from China to Wal-Mart central distribution in Roselle Illinois. All shipping done on brand newly installed Japanese iron rail road tracks. So much for buying American.

13. Capitalists think they are immune to morality.

Profit is the morality. They would do business with Shaytan himself if it fit the capitalist credo.

17. Bush and Kerry on their participation in skull and bones.

who can forget the moment when a student dared ask a question only to have his body disabled with electro-shocks.

The infamous "don't taze me bro"
