but they DO see everything as controlled from the "top down"

I know. That's one of the things that absolutely frustrates me the most. I'm not Pres. Bush's biggest fan....but if I'm going to assign blame (for instance, for the fact that milk is expensive), then I'll at least put it in the right place (not President Bush).

How angry must these people be to spend their lives shouting at the rain?
