Rather upset.

Maybe the ideals of Knighthood were never quite the reality. Maybe all knights were only priviledged brats, given a little land, a little money, and damn-near free reign. But the word "Knight" still used to mean something. There are understandings of Honour, Valour, Bravery, Chivalry, Courteous Conduct. Words which, to put a fine point on it, do not spring to mind when i think of Bill Gates. There are Charities, and various ways that he has "Given Back to the community," yes, but donating power shouldn't be the only thing that dictates a knighthood.

"I Weep, for the future."

Yes. Yes. Indeed. Hear, hear! *applauding and hufflefluffing like an old british dignitary*

I read that headline earlier, but was too disgusted to read the article. Isn't it illegal, like in the Constitution illegal, for a citizen to accept a knighthood or any such foriegn appointment?

Nope. Only of an opposing power, i believe. We could always look it up.

It's in Section 9, clause 8, but only applies to governemnt officers and the like, plus, Congress can allow the knighthood, if they wish.

Sigh, guess I'll just have to go ahead and have little Billy "taken care of" the old fashioned way.
