Backing into Sovereignty


Happy almost Thanksgiving ! (almost speaking from the
day ( ahead or behind ? ) )

This all sounds a bit like a wreck in the parking lot ....

 I guess I could begin with the issue of, is there a difference
between sovereignty and Sovereignty? You also might like
to consider where the 'reignty' comes from.  But we should
all be able to admit that it is not a physical object made up
of protons , and neutrons or quarks, so for example it's hard
to find a sovereignty shop were you can pick up a couple pounds,
for example.    So it's existential nature is a bit hard to
describe, but it is a good deal easier to think of it in terms
of - how we think about it -. 

And at a very personal level I think it has a lot to do with
the notion of loyalty,  which is quite often considered to
be a virtue.  So then it is possible to think about soveriegnty
as to whom we give, or recognize maybe you could call it a space
for this virtue to exist.

Now, such spaces might be thought of as neighborhoods, families,
communities, regions, and nations.  And so considering that,
you should be willing concede that all humanity is in fact a category
or ( space ) where loyalty should also arise.

We should also consider alliegience to certain " ideologies ",,,
now an ideology is quite an amorphous concept which probably
should not be confused with " musicology " or "numerology",
(although maybe in some ways ) , for example Democracy or
democracy, is an example of such a notion.  In those nations
which have a tradition of royalty, then some kind of ideolgy
would be at play, but I also see that that notion can be connected
to the symbols of the loyalty within a family , perhaps.  So we
do have our loyalties in these kind of spaces as well. 


Now whether sovereignty arises from God or from the individual,
the facts on the ground are connected to those loyalties that
we all work within, emphasis, recognize, and encourage.  But
at any rate the idea of connecting soveriegnty with a large pile
of cash somehow , I believe, is a limiting one.
