Beyond The Concept Of America's Horde Of Savage Barbarians

Here's a quote ( and the above pic)  from Brigid's blog, Home on the Range:

What is Chivalry? A knight was expected to have not only the strength and skills to face combat in the violent Middle Ages but was also expected to temper this aggressive side of a fighter with a chivalrous side to his nature. There was not an authentic Knights Code of Chivalry as a prescribed document - it was a moral system which went beyond rules of combat and introduced the concept of Chivalrous conduct - qualities such as bravery, courtesy, honor, and gallantry toward women. Documented in 'The Song of Roland' in the Middle Ages Knights period of William the Conqueror who ruled England from 1066, it consisted of these tenents -

To fear God and maintain His Church
To serve the liege lord in valour and faith
To protect the weak and defenceless
To give succour to widows and orphans
To refrain from the wanton giving of offence
To live by honour and for glory
To despise pecuniary reward
To fight for the welfare of all
To obey those placed in authority
To guard the honour of fellow knights
To eschew unfairness, meanness and deceit
To keep faith
At all times to speak the truth
To persevere to the end in any enterprise begun
To respect the honour of women
Never to refuse a challenge from an equal
Never to turn the back upon a foe

Try finding any of those qualities in the makeup of the four animals in my previous post.

Try finding any of those qualities in any lawyer or Wall Street banker.

Try finding any of those qualities in anybody in the White House or Congress.

Try finding any of those qualities being taught at our schools and colleges.

Try finding any of those qualities on any TV show today.

Yes... There's a reason why we are where we are today.
