I was thinking of special status differently. Freedom from coersion by authority, as I described it earlier; and I will now add, to act according to one's conscience with regards to the well being of self and other. I would not consider it according to my view of 'freedom,' if we are talking about economic scams or exploitation: like in a pyramid scheme for example. That use of the term seems to be tainted with traps that ensnare others through deceit. Thus the 'special status' I was thinking of being a separation to a more pure principle, apart from those types elements.
