OMG, katz! you asked for a "list of public servants and what services they provide to ME" and i provided it. and you come back at me with a display of opinion that i did NOT ask for! i could counter each of your points - but that would be a waste of my time and limited typing ability. so i will try to broad brush your entire dissertation and tell you that there are BAD people in this world and the public sector is out there every day to protect you from them; and there are services available to you that you can choose to take advantage of or not...regardless - they are still there for you AND FOR OTHERS!

AMEN!
