Does the Crown grant the title to people who don't deserve it? Absolutely. That shouldn't stop us from honoring those from the past who genuinely deserve the title, should it?

It was nice to see an article written about the founders of the Old Dominion that didn't harangue on the "racist" policies of the "imperialists" though. Especially considering it's coming from a blatantly liberal college-town newspaper... :)

"I heard back from his secretary of honors, who said there was no mechanism to award knighthood posthumously," Patton said

That's the excuse they use to deny knighthood to Rick Rescorla who saved 3,000 lives on 9-11. Screw the Crown. They've made a joke of knighthood.
