The oft prosaic "Elric of Imrryr" <Elric_of_Imrryr@email.com> wrote of
(presumably ALL?) government agencies in a seemingly encompassing
statement...

> ...Govt agencies exist only to increase their own power,
> never to accomplish a job or solve a problem.

Would you be willing to say that in front of the Eighth Avenue firehouse for
Engine 54, Ladder 4 and Battalion 9, in New York?

http://www.firehouse.com

I didn't think so.

Elric, you usually show more restraint and forethought when using such terms
as "all" "every" or "only". I for one was surprised by your missive. Please
know that whether you know it or not - or even like it, that men and women
who are "part of government agencies" wait with the clock ticking loudly in
anticipation of saving your life. They, along with many others in uniform
will accomplish any "job" and solve any "problem" necessary to see that
American's have the right to spout poorly conceived nonsense.

Yours in Safety and Service (even if it should cost me my life),
