willyou please tell me what you consider the requirements of a peer?  I have seen
some that wear the white belt and wonder at how they ever managed toget it, and
others that are called peer that I would not
stop to help if they were dieing, and others who will never be called ''a peer''
that far exceed the so called requirements of peerage and a white belt for that
matter but mere jealousy will never allow them to ascend to that august group.
