I should add the higher an individual is in a bureaucratic hierarchy, the more my generalizations apply. Also, not all people who work in bureaucracies are bureaucrats -- in the sense of being in the line of command. Some are "staff" rather than "line" employees and play a purely advisory role. Having little power, they are less subject to my generalizations. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
