I think our need to be a part of the few is because we have a need to be remembered by history - it's one way we can ease the idea of dying someday. It's very romantic to be remembered as one of the few who helped change the world. That's why you'll hear that speech at just about every extreme moment in history - it's a great way to motivate people. In a way I guess we want to be one of the few, but if we can't, we can at least support the few so we can feel like we were part of it. Everyone loves telling "man I was therrrrre" stories!
