I've never been able to understand how people (particularly modern, educated people) can embrace the concept of royalty. In my mind it goes completely against the "created equal" that the common masses long for.
I've struggled to understand it since I was a child.
And no, this is not pointed exclusively at the Brits, or the other many folks throughout the world that still have Kings and Queens. Pretty much the same thinking is alive and well amongst millions of Americans that elect the same idiot over and over for decades, then their son or wife, as if the family had some kind of royal bloodline. Really? Out of three hundred million people, the best replacement is the guy's son? Or brother? Or wife? Please.
OK, sorry about the rant. I just don't get it. Never have, never will.
