The feudal society was constructed for one reason: security. ( Sounds like how the Bush administration got away with taking away some civil liberties in order to fight terrorists. )
The nobles wanted the security of maintaining control over their far-reaching kingdoms, so they were forced to delegate power to local control. ( State and local governments. In some cases large corporate entities. ) The peasants ( the middle class ) wanted security from marauders and barbarians from neighboring lands. They also wanted security from invading armies. ( Terrorists aka. militant Islamists ) And thus the development of the feudal system and the fief structure was almost inevitable. However, all this came at the great expense of the common man. He gave up many freedoms for his security. ( Our current “state of emergency”, searching everyone at airports, arresting protesters, fighting a never ending war on a theoretical enemy… )

Lily chasing and harassing Lux with her wooden alligator pushcart. I think Lux is entertaining her.

Lily and Ava being silly, originally uploaded by suche2525.
Splishing and splashing in the pool. Too cute.
Here is a clip from the show Dinner Impossible that aired last night on the Food Network. It featured the South Jersey Derby Girls roller derby league that Kirsten is a part of. She is in this clip wearing all black and standing in the middle.
Lily is definitely a water baby. Here she is loving this fountain at Fort Greene park in Brooklyn. She was soaked and shivering and loving every minute of it… Until we took her out to change her clothes. She cried for about 15 minutes, wanting back in the water.
