"Unfair Patronage"

Gee......what's Patronage... huh??? ........Webster states this:

1. a) the function or status of a patron b) support, encouragement,sponsorshipetc.,given by a patron.

2.goodwill, favor, courtesy, etc. shown to people inferior; condescension

3. a) patrons collectively; clientele b) business, trade, custom

4) a) the power to appoint to office or grant other favors, esp, political ones b) the distributionof offices or other favors through this power c)the offices,etc, thus distributed.

Take this, and ponder, and it may relate to much of what is going on in our world.
