I've spent plenty of time reading about history and I still maintain that monarchy is the best form of government.

LOL! I knew that you guys would show up here.

I do like talking with you and your fellow monarchists, you are all pretty interesting.

Trouble is kings tend to treat people like possessions. Get a good king (of which there have been many) and things go well. Get a hedonist and you are in for hard times.

Take a look at the fall of the Eastern and Western Roman Empire. There were some truly great and good emperors (Justinian among them), and many more just horrible ones. The trouble was that there was no real good way to check the power of the emperor or king. He could do what ever he felt like until the Praetorian guards finished him off or an usurper showed up.
