Ya...I wrote this...even if it's completely out of context...
<< I still believe that if one lives in the principality of "X" then they owe

 that is the picture that I've seen from all the other principality folk
 everywhere I've traveled in the last 14 years....

I know there are lots of good folk out there that have lived in good
principalities... However, I have seen many, many more folks that lived in
principalities that reviled or loathed their "mother kingdom"... They could
hardly wait to split completely away and form their own Kingdom... Sorry, it's
not for me...

First, which god/goddess...? 
Second, family, friends, self...
Third, which "country" the one the people live in or the one ruled by the
government?

First, the SCA has a policy of no religious recognition...
Second, family, friends, (household)
Third, Kingdom....
Fourth, Branch

>Now, what would this say if you can't keep it in that order?

For me it would say that I have a completely different set of priorities than
you... Or perhaps are you implying something else entirely?
