We\u2019ve all been brought up in Wolfland and we all think that it\u2019s as near as you can get to a perfect, harmonious society. Look at all the bosses, the business owners, the schools, the Chamber, the ElderWolf, neither men nor women dominate, nor do they want to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho\u2019s your Civics teacher, Mr Rafone? He\u2019ll have covered the same stuff that mine taught me. Look at both of us, look at everybody actually, just look around at society. We\u2019ve all learnt the same thing.
