Though now in Dupa county, raised on south side and largely in the 19th Ward; I know the County Fair like the back of my hand. Lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sister, etc. out there. I confess: BRHS. My dad went to De LaSalle. But some uncles went to Leo.<br /><br />BTW: The word "fief" comes, I think, from some middle English or Saxon word for cow, as in "veal." Same for "fee" as in, you own your home in fee simple estate.Kevin Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080568843708159219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978152.post-78718761505965252232010-10-12T16:21:20.514-07:002010-10-12T16:21:20.514-07:00The average voter has zero time to figure out what...The average voter has zero time to figure out what these writers are really saying. A ruler's control over property in the Land of FiefDUMB is not the voters' concern. Dart just needs to steer clear of the opposition's wack language and he will be just fine.

Fief has come to mean fee -etymolofgically speaking. A debt paid for services rendered.<br /><br />In our Godless and smarmy times application of Medieval terms takes on the semiotic tag of 'corruption or larcenous' and, thus, gives cowards cover to imply deceit without proof.<br /><br />The employment of Fiefdom by columnists is by now considered quite hackneyed and sad, by better people - patriots and taxpaying helots.<br /><br />Dart will have all manner of creature crawling up his skivies and Master Hinz is but one.pathickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01051997614374510451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978152.post-47879735576312292472010-10-12T10:57:18.738-07:002010-10-12T10:57:18.738-07:00What is fiefdom?

I mean, that's politics 101: go tot the employer and find out the dirt. Sorry Pat, but that guy just wasted my time. Now, back to reading the dictionary.Tamara N.
