aside from a few mentioned i agree, didn't want to leave you hanging 
on this comment 

they were given voice of authority, and now the beast is loose and 
the scrap come, they have flown, nesting faraway and fat, abandoning 
friends and vows

i already expressed my disgust w/them elsewhere, as you know -- 
nobody wants to get "personally involved" -- given the consequences 
that's understandable, but still pitiful

i always hope for more

but rarely get it! lol

if you're really interested in bob's take on this, see his 
film "masked and anonymous," which generally lays out what went down 
these past decades, in america at least -- the "oppressed" as the 
New Gestapo etc

the film's key line concerns a "fight between a bird and a snake" 
(the snake's power is smothering, propaganda, and poison; the bird's 
power is flight, vision, and song)

the "plot" (lol) concerns a "benefit concert" set up by counter-
revolutionaries to undermine the Regime, which is an alliance of  
the old military/industrial Krew and the new PC Politburro

... only problem (tell me if this rings a bell!) is that none of 
the "rock stars" will have anything to do with the ragtag group, so 
they're forced to scrape barrel bottom, and bail no-name has-
been "Jack Fate" out of prison for the gig (after which the Python 
Politburro ships him back to the cages -- it's just like Reel Life!)

lol

so the good news is that not everybody caved and turned their backs, 
the bad news is most everybody did
