Curmudgeons

My father, or someone, once told me that being with the police would leave one with a cynical outlook on society, because of all that time staring up society's bum. (Only phrased more colorfully.)

I think any high-pressure job, or job in a high-pressure environment where people are apt to show their worst sides, is apt to make the person working there very full of rage and hatred...

Amen! Cynicism is the historian's occupational disease.
