Long ago, the very rich would be carried about in sedan chairs. Four strong men at each corner, and they would lift it up and carry the gentleman about on their shoulders. Important people, you see, shouldn't have to walk anywhere.

We haven't come very far, if we still have servants do this work. Of course, if you are very large, you need more than 4 people to carry you to your appointments. Perhaps 22 firefighters and EMTs would do.

What puzzles me, is that in the old days, it was the Emperor of Rome who was accorded this sort of treatment. Now, we do it for poor people in public housing. It's a funny sort of progress.

When is it my turn to use public servants as personal servants? I do get a turn, don't I?

======================

You probably pay taxes and have a job. Get to work. You don't get no stinking turn.
