Nobles active after Protective Orders

I can be honest and say that when I used to think of the Shrine, I always thought of men who labored in not just the Blue House, but York and SR also. Shrine was a bunch of jolly old men who got to relax when not working hard in other houses. I admit I personally feel that going MM to Shrine is probably not as rewarding as a brother who 'labored in the trenches' so to speak. I have no problems with a noble made under the PO who was not YR or SR, but I feel that Shrine should at least require a MM to be an active KT or 32nd for at least a year or two. Cold sands, no clyde for some,lol... the process of old has been done away with officially. Some may disagree, but I feel the old requirements made the order more stable and you always had an active MM/Noble (b/c he couldnt be noble unless he was financial in all other houses). So if brothers who were in it to just get the Shrine and had no intentions of work; they would be taxed by not just Blue Lodge but YR/SR to remain active in the Shrine(as well as Shrine dues). To me, this weeded out "I got mine!" - type brothers. If a brother had intentions to work, at least the requirements kept him in check ('him' being a working brother might I add) because then the MM has already learned how to stay active in other house/s and can therefore manage dues, time, etc. The PO to me makes the Shrine more like frat-like. Why affiliate with masonry for over 100 years then say we arent masonry? We already know this. The requirement at the formation of AEAONMS could have been a man must have been an eagle scout to join lol - anything John Jones desired. I feel the original requirements were set to make sure that men who joined the nobility were men who had to be of great standard-by being a MM first, and secondly by being a KT or 32nd; had at least learned masonic discipline in other masonic houses and would have little problem transitioning to the "Fun House" and still maintain loyalty to the GL. It seems from the history of the Shrine PHA masons knew AEAONMS was not a masonic entity in itself from the beginning; it simply choose its member base from some of our exalted ranks (KT/32). We know that the Shrine understood early in its formation that if the membership was composed of MM, then you clearly dont want to piss a GM off. Didnt give him (a GM) any authority over the Shrine, but clearly a GM can remind a Noble that he must be a MM in good standing to be a noble. Just some of my thoughts. I accept all nobles regardless of the process or PO. I just wish things were back to the days of old I guess.
