I read through some of the reviews and it's interesting to find that the author references the same people/families as are on the lists of these groups.
But we can't get in those societies unless we were already in it...
It's strange when you think about it. If you're in, your chances of holding a political office or being appointed to a position within the government would be very good. If you're not in, your chances are very
very low.
Since you can't get in without an invitation, the general public has virtually no chance at influencing what happens in government. This reminds me of that Simpsons episode...
Let us all join together on a united front and work to place me into one of these groups. I'll run on M3talhead's platform.

I want to be appointed to a government office dammit.
