3. They don't want things to change as badly as they might be saying that they do.

IT is not just the work.

It is decades of programming to believe that the system is okay as it is. (Mainly because the people doing the programming are 'in power' and would rather destroy it all than change one thing about it. It is the belief that this capitalistic hell hole we have created is a 'good thing'.

It is, but only for those same people that I mentioned. They do not want anything to change. So, they will babble crap all the live long day, but in the end, they will vote against anything that will endanger their 'position'.

(By the way... that dream that you might make it up to their level one day? HAHAHAHAHA... don't kind yourself.)
