Steve if I read Zinn correctly he would say all governmental services
are supposed to be that, for service.
The problem is, once any thing becomes institutionalized it takes on
a life of its own, and you soon must serve the institution, not the client.
It is indeed sad.
When you try to reorganize to start serving the client once more,
many protest as you are changing a sacred system.
My wife and I had a very volatile discussion last night as she thinks
it is unfair that I serve a group that does not see my worth or pay
me accordingly and expect me to do all the work.
I told her that is how it is supposed to be, and that is what I
signed on for. I did not become a minister to adjust my work level
on a sliding scale according to what I get paid. They get it all and
I do what they ask, as I am their servant.
When we started calling them jobs instead of vocation we lost the
concept of service.

Perhaps this is a problem for us, but not for them. After all, we
are here to serve them, are we not, or did your history book try to
convince you that it is really the other way around? Let's read a
history book by historian Howard Zinn to see who really serves who.
