By all means, let us keep politics and the like off this list so that we may pursue other more important activities in this glorious organization. I would say that the pursuit of awards, self aggrandizement, petty bickering and the vast stupidities that are indulged in on a hourly basis in the SCA are much more important than a simple act of acknowledging one of uur fallen heroes in this, the most beautiful country on God's earth.
