is a wonderful thing you seee.. it is a give and take situation.. Just
because you get ellivated to a higher rank does NOT mean you automatically
recieve respect..its something you earn No matter what your
station...Remember the golden rule .."Do unto to others as you would have
them do unto you"
And for those who are treated badly and don't quite know what to do ..Turn
the other cheek..not only are you a better person for it...you make the
other pesron look bad and as another plus probably tick them off quite badly
since all they were looking for was conflict to begin with.

Adding my 2 cents to the growing pot,
