That's true, Guy.
It certainly exists over here in Canada and in the US - and the main
determinant is money and the status money can buy! Anyone who says it does

I am amazed that anyone can possibly think that any society can survive
without a class system it can't.

Some may pretend not to have a class system but the hierarchy is still
there under a different name, this system even extends to the animal
kingdom where it is called a pecking order.

Cheers
Guy
