I wrote that back in 2009 when I was fleshing out my understanding of things worked behind the curtain. I didn't write it to convince others, but to clarifying my own thinking. So yes, it did get quite long-winded. I hauled it out here because the topic was appropriate. As the song goes, "Take what you want and leave the rest..."
While I have a problem with the way hierarchies appear in US society, and in Canada where I live, it's more that I see hierarchies in general as a problem - no matter where they arise. I'm firmly on the side of Occupy and their determinedly non-hierarchic approach. I'd use the word "anarchistic" in its formal sense, but it carries too much semantic baggage around here.
Thanks for passing on your thoughts - they're very helpful.
