Those Darned Cliques

Clique members sure cherish retaining their local monopoly on power. They like their own way of doing things. Their friends, peers and allies are all smart, all wise, all good and all honorable. All doors are open to them.

Now competing cliques or isolated loners outside the cliques are the "Other". Their people are dumb, sinful, corrupt, imprudent, dishonorable and suspect. All doors are closed to them and should be.
