Honor had a different meaning than it has today. In those days it didn't mean risking your life to save someone else; it meant men of integrity, truthfulness, decency, who admitted they owed their fellow man protection.
Yes, yes, I know that honor only applied to white men and excluded all persons of color. Women were considered "lesser" beings. But that was the society in which they lived for thousands of years.
What is remarkable is they deplored the authoritarian, dictatorial, autocracy of monarchy; the system most widely in use in their time.
What continues to anger me is that we, the citizens of the United States, have failed to do anything to overturn the foully named "Citizens United" ruling (not Law) that took from citizens and gave unrelentlessly to the autocrats against everything our Constitution stands for.
Further proof I am so lucky to have the best paid subscribers on Substack. Especially the women who constantly amaze me and keep me on my toes. Like you, Fay.
