Sorry, sometimes it's not easy to write a text in english, it's not my first language.
I see it the same way, most of the elders are rotten to the core. But there also some nice guys. Main problem is that a special sort of people getting up the pyramide. Looser, people who like power, some wan't to be a high rank and so on. The examble you mention is typical for me: main part for him is to be someone. I can't imagine that he is a nice guy at his business. So this is the problem: if you a nice guy, the others don't want you in the center of power.
