My guess is that the Family will never do anything to help the SGA's, unless someone makes them do it, and that will be difficult.

The Family isn't doing anything to help their current members. In my humble opinion, the Activated thing is a MLM (pyramid) operation. If you've ever been an Amway distributor (or known one), then you know what I'm talking about. The dollars get kicked upstairs and a few pennies stay behind. Just like in the past with lit.

If anything meaningful ever happens, it will probably have to come from the ex-members, but since they are struggling with entering the economy late, often with no job skills themselves (not to mention a slew of kids of their own), that might be difficult.

The really enouraging thing is reading the stuff from guys like Albatross (Daniel) who describes how the SGA's are becoming educated and taking their place in the system. They might be thier own best ticket out. But, isn't that usually the case for anyone who makes it at anything?
