[MR] opinion on peerage...

[Alexandria Stratton]

I am just wondering whether it's an absolute necessity, as it seems to be, to 
play the politics in order to be recognized. I have a very dear friend who' been 
a superb woodcarver for the last 30 years, teaching, doing everything one would 
expect a laurel to do and beyond...it would appear that if she was willing to 
'put on elizabethan garb and hob-nob with the right people', she would have been 
a laurel decades ago. However, she (and other similiar folks I've known over the 
years) dances to the beat of her own drum and cares not for the drama...if we 
were in Tudor England, one would say that we do not care for 'life at court'.
