The Deal Works Both Ways - Or The Deal Ends
All deals work both ways. The feudal deal wasn't the best but it was a two way deal; some nobility pretended to care about their people - what they really cared about is not having to grow their own food and make their own clothes and shoes, build their own houses etc. because they literally couldn't, but at least they somewhat kept up their end of the deal.
The deal between the Federal Governm

“My dear friend, do you feel how cold it is in here? Don't you think that if I had a penny to my name I would send my man directly to you with every coin?” “No, I think you would drink it.” Some of my creditors know me too well. I dropped the pretense of friendship. There really is no point in being polite to people who are willing to come to your home and pester you for money.”

“Freedom should be tempered by others,” Dubaku took up my thoughts. “The price of freedom is loneliness.” I turned the idea around in my mind. Saw the truth of it. Only in complete isolation, or with complete disregard for others could you be truly free. Loneliness would be the price of that.”

“Meran was possibly the ugliest human being I have ever encountered. His naturally misshapen features are enhanced by a patina of burn scars on one side and a long scar from a cavalry sword on the other; the blow from the saber (one of ours) also took out an eye. Still, he'd been cheap and had made himself indispensable once he had had the language beaten into him.”

“No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.”

“The past exists only in our memories, the future only in our plans. The present is our only reality. The tree that you are aware of intellectually, because of that small time lag, is always in the past and therefore is always unreal. Any intellectually conceived object is always in the past and therefore unreal. Reality is always the moment of vision before the intellectualization takes place. There is no other reality.”

“You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt.”

Hello Chris, I read the Kelly Smith review and it's a nice positive piece. I'm glad to see you are working on a sequel and I'm still waiting patiently for more Sumto. I lost your email, etc in what I'm sure was an alien conspiracy hard drive crash so haven't been able to bug you for some time. A reminder, my paltry services are still available should you ever want them. Always a fan.Jon
Love "all the kings bastards" Sumto is my kind of hero
