You clearly haven't read Heinlein. Paraphrasing:
"In any sufficiently advanced society, civil servant is semantically equal to civil master."
We may be overdue for some societal devolution.
Now you've done it. I've not reread any Heinlein since I re bought Starship Troopers because I couldn't find my old copy. I'll have to dig through the boxes of books to see what I can find again. And you made me remember Have Spacesuit Will Travel (which started me on the scifi path) and the long ago youth I will never find again.
