>I'm saying that being embedded in the matrix of movers and shakers is necessary (although not sufficient) to become one yourself. That's kind of what I was getting at. The people who are already in charge generally get to pick the next generation of leaders. While this is the way things are done in our current reality, it doesn't give current leaders, future leaders, or the institutions that prop them up a legitimate claim to natural leadership ability. Basically, all our democracy has managed to accomplish lately is to prove that monarchies don't necessarily depend on blood-relations to function.
