	I am highly allergic to ritual (I work as a consultant largely because
I can't stand going to the same job for too long), and therefore the
co-Masons are not for me (although I have been highly encouraged by both
Masons and co-Masons, as much as they are permitted, to join; I COULD go
into one of those 1-day Mason programs, and become a "knife-and-fork"
Mason, but have too much respect for the groups to join under what I
would consider false pretenses). I do, however, think that the groups
have something important to offer, and recommend them to others
(co-Masonry when available, Masonry otherwise, although I dislike the
gender-bias of the group). I dislike the gender-bias of the LCC even
more, because they should know better.
