While that's true from a strictly legal point of view, I assure you that there are many people who are stuck in the lower echelons of our society who feel that they have been reduced to that level. Haven't you heard people refer to themselves as being "Just a cog in the machine ..." ?
Yes, but, hasn't that been more-or-less true for all of human history? Today, more than perhaps anytime in the past, it is possible to get out of the cog-in-the-machine feeling. Still difficult for many, I'll admit, but certainly easier than times past. (I'm no historian, so feel free to correct me, anyone)
Cheers, Carl.
