I enjoyed your "rant". It is much more intelligent than most. One thing about the truth, it is much more interesting than lies!

The questions I like are "to whom do I owe loyalty? Why? By whom am I owed loyalty? What does 'duty' mean?".

I enjoyed your stuff, keep it up!

Thanks. My humble replies...

"to whom do I owe loyalty?

Family

Why?

Loyalty... Not to them---To You.O

By whom am I owed loyalty?

No one. It is earned.

What does 'duty' mean?"

In a specific sense to our times... To not forfeit what we have been given. On a broader theme... I have no idea.
