So Dave, if I have this all nailed down correctly you show respect so long as you feel that it is due, and in the situations that you deem it is deserved?
I've read your posts and rants for quite a time. It appears that you have difficulty with casual relationships, or just relationships for that matter. Have you ever pondered that perhaps the issue is not with "everyone else"?
The best advice I can offer is to at least ponder every now and again that most people are not as dumb as you might think.
People who assure themselves that they are the smartest ones are usually among the least informed because of their pre-existing "supreme knowledge" of all subject matter but yet are the first to speak and act.
Maybe you are not a Godly man but Saul/Paul (Biblical character)had a heart similar to yours. He was zealous and headstrong, assuring himself that he was an absolute authority, all the while he couldnt have been more wrong. Story of Paul's conversion can be found in the book of Acts. (Acts of the apostles).
Why be such a crotchety human being? What will it profit you? It surely doesnt profit anyone else.
Just food for thought... Perhaps the delivery man didnt put the cig away out of respect but more knowing that if you jerked the cig out of his mouth again that he would return to his truck to get his sawed off scatter gun to invert your face. He maybe just wanted to save himself the questions from the authorities and some time behind bars.
Always remember that there will always be tougher crazier people out there than you can imagine so there is no need to go on trying to prove your status. You'll never make it to the top but you'll make a pile of enemies in the process.
I guess I'd rather check out of this earth and have folks remember me as the guy who helped whoever needed it, not the craky guy down the road who helped all the people who were willing to be submissive to his self given authority.
Are you any better than the heathen if you are only kind to those who do good to you?

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
