The majority of the Little People operate under the trust/fear factor, and will never ‘run any numbers’, as if they would ever have any access anyway. They also operate (apart from any first-hand evidence to the contrary), under the delusion that the integrity at the top of the food-chain (apart from one who shall go un-named) is without question. This is further reinforced by the proximity issue of having no personal access of any kind with the hierarchy. The highly-rigid concentric rings of relationships was not quite as hard-lined as in days past, but soon solidified rapidly in the first transition when allegiances needed to be clearly defined.
As a percentage, there is still a large number of very sweet people contributing to the sustenance of a very few, who at this point in their enlistment, probably feel entitled. There is encouraging anecdotal evidence on a number of fronts that indicate there might be more than a few who may finally take a drink of sobriety and reconsider their annual commitment. The extensive collateral damage done to so many, both current and ex-pats, may finally reach enough critical mass that we see the significant exodus we have all hoped for.
We WELCOME them with open arms.
