Ah, don’t go there. Royalty is not, in itself, a bad thing; remember that Hitler’s power sprang up from a free election [at first] while Wenceslaus WAS a royal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wenceslaus_I,_Duke_of_Bohemia
Granted, I would rather people be famous for their “good deeds” like Mother Theressa was... so popular that she stopped a battle [or, rather God used her to] with her mere presence when the attacker was not willing to assault the city because they did not want her to be collateral damage.
Ill go there. Because royalty is despotic by it’s very essence. And after Thomas Paine wrote “common sense”, and utterly filleted the concept of royaly about 6 ways, it’s inexcusable to defend it. You really need to read it,, it’s a tour de force on the topic of royalty.
It’s a red herring to say hitler was elected.
Maybe he was, but so what? The mere fact that an evil man was elected, in no way can logically give support to royalty as a concept, hereditery positions, and devine right. It does not logically follow that if a bad man can be sometimes get elected, that royalty is good. It’s a non sequitur.
The *princess* was a tramp. A muzzie loving tramp at that.
