Have an awful feeling I'm missing the context, but here's an
an off-the-top-of-the-header.
"They" are whatever reminds "Us" we are about to die.
Kind of existential.
But, seriously, one wouldn't want to attach names and addresses,
would one?
"They" is not a synonym for "power elite", is it?
(remember that C. Wright Mills--haven't seen him around lately)
On some wonderful days, it seems like there isn't any "They"
Only "Us".
On a really bad day there is only "me".
