OK - don't read on if you're easily upset, but *deep breath* I personally
don't put any more value on family loyalty than I do patriotism, and that is
low...

If you are from a good family, well done - it stands to reason you can and
should be loyal to it.  If you were lucky enough to grow up in a good
country, be a good citizen.  But for me, that is no more admirable than
taking pride in being born with brown eyes, or red hair - it is not
something that you can change or take credit for - what counts with me are
the values you acquire with maturity, and the company you choose to keep.
