Greetings From Alina:

Is it for those in power, kingdom or baronial, to make judgements on the
people they serve? In references to judgement, I mean to use your power to
hold individuals back and/or to refuse awards they should have been given? I
hear over and over that kingdom and on down to barony positions, it is felt
those with the power feel the right and just cause be prejudice toward an
individual just because they don't like or give a hoot about. I personally
feel it is the job, besides giving a good show, be fair and impartial when
dealing with all individuals no matter your opinion of them. Are am I
imagining a too perfect SCA society? I just hate getting disillusioned with
those in power after hearing another recent happening. Why must this be
continued and allowed to happen?


Signed just me,
Lady Alina
