Respectfully disagree with the assessment that feudal administration began in the 14th century. There’s pretty solid evidence for it in the 11th. Granted, before the governance was not nearly as strong, but it would be difficult to argue that Britain was at all prosperous from the 5th to the 10th century. It’s a complicated and difficult period to study, in part because of the lack of centralization.

“He took the natural right & reason of all those before him and gave us the basis for all international law today.”

Without question. Very much in agreement. However, I’m very skeptical that taking the UK’s system of naturalization would work in America without the Queen. Even as a constitutional Monarch, she’s got significant influence all out of proportion with the political power that she weilds, and across many different nationalities and governments. Even in America she is highly regarded.

I wonder how much of the damage caused by Obama could have been mitigated with the Queen.

And I clearly stated that it did not begin in the 14th century, I stated that was when it got its strongest foot hold. I do believe I stated that it began after the Norman Conquest and would you not agree that that happened in the 11th century? So what is your real argument other than you prefer to be a subject to a sovereign master rather than pursue your own happiness & success? Last I heard from my close e-pal over there, things are pretty tough. Especially when her hubby who has worked his entire life for the English public school system can not get a simple stint put in place to correct his ailing heart. And they can not afford to come over here to have it done. No thanks, yo keep your system & we'll fight for ours.
