ahhh, but what is most important ... the person or the awards they hold or the
trappings they wear? equality can only come from below through the perspective
of the individual observer (a basic "right"). it does not come from above by
mandate or award (a "privalege").
i know many "peer" class folk who have never been recognized (and most never
will) ... but it dosn't bother them or in any way shape their pathways. on the
other hand i know a few who wear the trappings that will never measure up to
any in that class. it all depends on where you stand in the world and how you
choose to view it.
peerage comes from the heart and soul of each individual ... people will
recognize who and what you are even if the process / politics do not ... and
that is what is truely important.
