ANST - Courtesy Crusade

[Dale, Richard N]

In a world where every word is examined under a microscope for other
meanings some times the message of the words gets lost.

I think we all agree that Courtesy, Honor and Chivalry is something we all
try for. I think we would all agree that we would like to see more Courtesy,
Honor and Chivalry on and off the field. You cannot have too much Courtesy,
Honor and Chivalry in my opinion.

I think many people are reading to much into the word "crusade". In a
medieval context a crusade is wonderful thing that motivates children and
adults and moves whole nations in a good cause.

We however live in a modern world and play in a medieval context. We have
seen historically what the crusades did to people, towns, cities,
nobility,and countries. The word crusade also brings to mind a extremely
motivated, narrow minded, preacher on some ideology.
While all the above descriptions are true, I do not believe this to be the
case in what Her Grace Duchess Larissa is trying to convey.

I believe she wants to spotlight and enhance the Honor, Chivalry, and
Courtesy that already exists within in our kingdom.

I believe her grace just wants to improve the flowers of Honor, Courtesy and
Chivalry with a few more dedicated gardeners.

just my .02 cents
