Wether you like it or not, said or unsaid, there is always a hierarchy
within any social order.  Even the beloved Masters are an elite group
with a hierarchy.  If you want to believe differently, that's fine, but
next time you are in a group of people, random, purposely established
or impromptu just watch the interaction, there will always be some
separations, from the alpha to the omega.
