Hollow ANSWER?

One of the things that struck me when i did political
work in the early 90s was how easy it was for a few
super-high energy, sometimes fanatical, people to
dominate and direct so-called "coalitions," and thus
create a "smoke and mirrors" impression of their
strength. Most of these folks did have jobs, family,
et al., but many now suffer from serious health
problems (e.g., adult diabetes, heart disease) and
broken marriages, all aggravated by their organizing
lifestyle.  Rock stars have better mortality.

Coalitions are by their very nature "top down," since
each group sends a representative to meetings, where
decisions are made and implemented quickly, often to
the detriment of the rank and file.
