ONE WORD: Oblige

Exposition~~

Nobility obliges

Just might strike the current ear as either quaint or lacking in meaning altogether.~~

And that is not for the better, but rather for the poorer, for all of us.

George Herbert Walker Bush took to heart and took to high office a sense of

DUTY~~

A duty that, of itself, emanates from the proper notion of noblesse oblige. As an aside, King George died shortly after my birth and Queen Elizabeth has repeatedly mentioned that her Father schooled her principally as to Her DUTY.

Queen has performed Her DUTY admirably and without any trace of scandal or personal aggrandizement in the intervening 63 years. She is, truly, an admirable figure.

So, too, George Herbert Walker Bush, took his sense of duty, of giving back to the nation that had given him such great advantage, very, very seriously.

It has been said of him and it is true that he is the only President, save perhaps some of the men who were here at the foundation, who was “born to be President.”

And, so he was.

The PA world that so formed and likewise so suited President Bush arguably doesn’t exist anymore.

Life is all Helter-skelter and we are not better men for that

but

well then

there it is.

Our world lacks today for order and constancy

and selfless duty.

George Herbert Walker Bush did not inspire in people love and affection in the way that President Reagan did

but of course he was a very different sort of man.

And, he was a good man.

A man driven principally by duty derived of social ranking

which today we could have a great deal more of

if we can, please, thank you.

George Herbert Walker Bush was, first, middle, and last,

all sorts of

a swell PA lad.

At Washington, capital city of the terminally self-absorbed, mortal man holds to fleeting, feeble and fallible opinion, God immutable fact.

  It is my assessment that America is dying inside, being eaten away by the horror of the collapse of the middle orders, the attendant societal and religious values and customs of those orders and the ubiquity of war making for dubious purpose.

  Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Catholic parochial school, called, by anyone of any background, simply: “Chan~al,” a place where, of an autumn day in 1957, school, for me, began and ended in the first convening of the first grade in which a tiny nun, one Sister Dom Bosco, appeared before me, just behind the window appearing at far left of this photograph, and piped out this: “I may be small, but so then, is the Atom Bomb.”
  
  ~~
  
  My determination to escape school commenced immediately on hearing about this Atom Bomb business and took 16 dicey and arduous years to finally accomplish.~~

  “Jean-Marie Le Pen is a friend. He is dangerous for the political set because he’s the only one who’s sincere. He says out loud what many people think deep down, and what the politicians refrain from saying because they are either too demagogic or too chicken. Le Pen, with all his faults and qualities, is probably the only one who thinks about the interests of France before his own.”~~

  In the Old South, the real Southland, we had a charming expression, when asked what an idle man did for a living:
  
  ~~
  
  “Oh, he raises cotton.”
  
  ~~
- Which meant, he did absolutely nothing at all, as cotton, “the white gold,” raises herself.
