Esquire ... Who They Serve

[palani]

Lawyers have a disgusting habit of referring to themselves as ESQUIRE. Here is the source of that title of nobility.

Make note that Sheriff's and Justices of the Peace are of the 6th degree ESQUIRES while counselors at law are ESQUIRES of a LOWER degree.

Then consider that the ESQUIRE who keeps the Kings chamber pot is of a higher degree than any of the others.

Makes sense.

Whoever kisses the kings ass the most. ...gets the most perks

Worse than that. The next section in that book below ESQUIRE is GENTLEMAN. From the comments there it seems the only ones with any argument with gentlemen are termed CLOWNS.

So now you go into a 'court' with a 6th degree ESQUIRE seated 4 feet above the floor in a black robe with charges brought against you by an ESQUIRE of the 7th degree and there you are a lowly CLOWN.

Why else do you suppose you are going to lose?

Here is from the Constitution:


Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:


No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.


Looks likethis put an end to Feudal hierarchical government titles of nobility in the United States. However, there are no laws against stupidity. If one wants to bow and scrape before someone who appends an 'ESQ' to his name, one is free to do so.

Does it seem that our domestic Esquires are the ones who are dismantling the constitution? And in the process making themselves the equivalent of Nobility and the people the peasants?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States


The design on the obverse (or front) of the seal is the coat of arms of the United States. The shield, though sometimes drawn incorrectly, has two main differences from the American flag. First, it has no stars on the blue chief (though other arms based on it do: the chief of the arms of the United States Senate may show 13 or 50, and the shield of the 9/11 Commission has, sometimes, 50 mullets on the chief). Second, unlike the American flag, the outermost stripes are white, not red; so as not to violate the heraldic rule of tincture.

The Great Seal of the United States is a heraldic symbol ... an ARM. Note the reference to 'the heraldic rule of tincture'.

When seated at the table you might want to check where the salt is placed. Here is a partial list. Note that Citizens do have a place but expect the salt to be handed to you by an esquire.

yes nothing has changed except our comprehension and the modernisation (stupidification) of our language which is a cause of the comprehension problems.
