I actually was reminded of the Obama article where Barack's former classmates were amazed that they were in the same place that they had always been and that Obama had (almost all-of-a sudden) become this extremely powerful, important person. It was as if he was flying and they were still sitting on the ground. To me, it all relates back to the traditional group mentality. If everyone is satisfied with the limitations that society places on us, then society will remain stagnant. But if some of us make the effort for social change (or change in the legal profession), then we might actually achieve things we always thought impossible.
