“The U.S. socioeconomic system, like the hustler, makes false promises, the principal one being that social mobility is available to all who work hard. By its very nature, a hierarchical system cannot possibly keep such a promise. The number of positions at successively higher levels decreases very quickly and is always less than the number of hardworking people who want the positions. This structure sets many ambitious workers on a collision course with the reality of limited opportunity. When they are finally hit with the tragic disappointment, they may become angry or resentful, and so the hierarchical system must engage in widespread cooling out. It does this not only to protect its agents who stand at the gate and do the dirty work of exclusion, but also to make sure that those who have been disappointed do not become opponents of the hierarchical system itself and enemies of its power elite. It is vital to the system that the losers serve the hierarchy respectfully, and not sabotage it, when they find themselves with jobs that have lower social status than the society of “unlimited opportunity” had led them to expect. Cooling out is therefore an integral part of the socioeconomic system. Those who say “That’s life” should understand that there is nothing natural about a system that kills the spirit of large numbers of people by first putting them in a position where they need opportunity, then promising them virtually unlimited opportunity and finally making them losers.”

“A Mademoiselle Oui, femmes, quoi qu'on puisse dire, Vous avez le fatal pouvoir De nous jeter par un sourire Dans l'ivresse ou le désespoir. Oui, deux mots, le silence même, Un regard distrait ou moqueur, Peuvent donner à qui vous aime Un coup de poignard dans le coeur. Oui, votre orgueil doit être immense, Car, grâce à notre lâcheté, Rien n'égale votre puissance, Sinon votre fragilité. Mais toute puissance sur terre Meurt quand l'abus en est trop grand, Et qui sait souffrir et se taire S'éloigne de vous en pleurant. Quel que soit le mal qu'il endure, Son triste rôle est le plus beau. J'aime encore mieux notre torture Que votre métier de bourreau.”
