It's a sad thing to think about. I understand that we all would love to be a united community, rising together, but how are we suppose to do that while there will always be an upper tier? How will it happen if you get drowned in the MIPS. I posted earlier today about chocolate, and I think only four individuals had seen it by the time I checked again.
