or the senischal?

but that what the CROWN APPOINTED BRASS have allowed the barony to become.
where lies the fault with the leader or the led.

ah so the crown will not consider whether the where right or not.
"you got what we gave you, now like it."    that's how this reads to me.
i object strongly to the "will consider no petitions"
so no matter how many of the populace say "no we don't want this" after all.?
so this supports my feeling of being snubbed and seems to snubb it's royal nose
at our feelings or opinions.

did it now.......          see most EVERYONE i spoke to before the poll where
all in agreement on two things
ONE. i need to quit losing my temper and letting my mouth overload my ass.
TWO. they didn't support paul as baron. EVERYONE i said.
and that's why their's a lotta bitchin going on now about not likeing the way it
went.
it was like the "crown" picked the one LEAST popular on purpose.
to"show us" seems to be the phrase used most.
