You now serve the state, the state does not serve you.

[originalpckelly]

Just thought I should let you all in on that secret.

[Mythsaje]

1. They don't know me very well, do they?

:evilgrin:

[originalpckelly]

3. Laugh all you want...

Think you are a rebel, but the state still will control your life at the end of the day.

[Mythsaje]

4. Only as much as I allow it to...

In my head, and in my pages, I say what I want.

They'll have to kill me to stop me.

And I'm not laughing.

[walkon]

2. Ask not

what your Country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your Country.

Except then it was just a suggestion, a call to idealism. Now it's the Law.

[Triana]

5. Taxation without representation...

...is that not unconstitutional - too?

[MADem]

6. If I have to serve the state, I'm gonna drop hot coffee in their lap

I'm a lousy waiter in my old age....!!!!

[Joe Chi Minh]

7. Doesn't that signify totalitarianism?

[izzie]

8. It is going to mess up a life time of my thinking

I guess I will go to my grave thinking that I am the gov. and it works for me.

[mwooldri]

9. I'm a civil servant now? Do I get to join the Union?

If I serve the country then that makes me a civil servant. As such I'm entitled to pay and benefits. What pay scale am I on? What benefits do I get?

Oh and a lot of civil servants are eligible to join a union. Which one?

Mark.
