Addressing Titles --- I do understand how it has been historically important and still is important to generally address titles as a sign of respect. I do, however, sometimes wonder if this distracts from the fact that in cases where officials are elected, they have been chosen by their populations to serve the best interests of their populations and are actually "servants" to the people, not "gods". And that maybe these titles and protocols unnecessarily bolsters egos and distract from the real issues at hand?
