I never realized, until recently, how much I appreciate loyalty. Not blind loyalty mind you, but rational loyalty. Loyalty that does its research and prepares its argument. Loyalty that has your back. The even more interesting thing about loyalty, is that sometimes you get it from the places you least expect.
