14. The British should abolish the monarchy and confiscate their property.
Edited on Fri Jun-04-04 08:44 AM by TahitiNut
It's appalling that people continue to ignore the abundant lessons of history and drool over mankind's most long-running obscenity of a Truman Show. We're looking at the shallowest, most polluted gene pool on the planet. Inbred arrogance and specious entitlement. Every shilling in the Windsor coffers was extracted from the blood and sweat of others and inherited by those who have rightfully earned far less than any of Britain's coal miners and laborers.

It's appalling that the 21st century still has monarchies and even more appalling that people ignore the lessons of history and continue to treat "aristocrats" with any kind of adulation. That these people are looked upon with an attitude any different than one would observe dung beetles or maggots in their natural habitats is ridiculous.

As a former Whig and current social liberal, I feel Royalists and Tories are obscene anachronisms who don't belong in a democratic society.
