The life of a public servant

Barack Obama advised the graduates of Notre Dame to forgo a life of hedonism and greed. Instead, he advised them to pursue public service. Many have interpreted that as a plea to forgo earthly pleasures in the service of our fellow man.


Exactly so…

Picture of the selfless public servant's home


In case this public spirited person wants to go visiting, he has many friends and the friends have many homes, like this one ...



On the other hand, the people who graduate and don't go into public service live here ... until the day of the sale.

When the public servant wants to visit his friends he uses public transportation ...

When the public servant's friends come to visit they use their own transportation ...
Unless they are auto executives. They have to drive.

For the people who choose to go grubbing after money, the government has a plan for their
transportation ...


The public servant has many things to attend to and needs constant protection so unfortunately he has to put up with this ...

At the end of a busy day, the public servant comes home to his humble abode

Is there no end to this shared sacrifice?
