Those who have excessive pride in their ancestor's achievements usually have few of their own.I'm a failure, then. I worship my ancestors.
That's a nice thought actually, though I do miss the old days. Wish I had my my ancestors' privileges -- I'd have more than a pitbull's cold wet nose for company at night. Not to mention the thrill of being called Earl, Baron, Count, etc. Don't know about you, Nic, but I've found that being related to the Plantaganets just does not carry much social cachet with these commoners anymore. What is the world coming to when rape, pillage, and plunder have no value?
