At one time in my life, I thought I had a handle on the meaning of the word "service." "The act of doing things for other people." Then I heard the terms:
Internal Revenue Service
Postal Service
Telephone Service
Civil Service
City/County Public Service
Customer Service
Service Stations
And I became confused about the word "service." This is not what I thought "service" meant. Then today, I overheard two farmers talking and one of them mentioned that he was having a bull over to "service" a few of his cows.
SHAZAM! It all came into perspective. Now I understand what all those "service" agencies are doing to us.

Expectations are premeditated resentments.
Ergo if you, like me, expect only uncensored honesty and insanity... you really won't have any reason to resent me except perhaps jealousy. ;)
Things to ruminate over:
History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices. ~ Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes fame)
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. ~ Aristotle
Social order at the expense of liberty is hardly a bargain. ~ Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, Marquis de Sade
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yes! Without the 'oops'! ~ David (Jeff Goldblum in Independence Day)
Was it everything you'd hoped for? ~ Ripley (Sigourney Weaver in Aliens)
