Still, it happens that I have the privilege of photographing "important people who think nothing of keeping me waiting an hour or two. I can stare into space or I can read. Reading allows me to be more polite after being kept waiting.

Oh, I hope you didn't take this the wrong way Martin!
I posted not to blast you but to comment on this, because your view was so perceptive as to galvanise together the same series of observations that I also made. In one simple comment you managed to describe a whole 'malaise' about a good part of community living. From that expression I was able to wander through all those facts and trace to one origin... fear.
I really think this expression should be kept! Now how could it be brought to a larger broadcast? You know it could be thesis matter.
