Didn't we fight a war to rid ourselves of those people?
It nauseates me to think so many here in America bought into all that Royalty crap. BooHoo, the Princess is dead.

How can you say such a thing - Elton John sang a song about it!!! Fart in the Wind or Wind in my fart, or something like that. It was a real touching moment.
Yeah. ...And it looks like we're about to have to fight another one to rid ourselves of those who believe they are "American Royalty".

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.
All the hoopla over Diana’s death would fill a soap bubble the size of our galaxy. And once popped, nothing... Enough all(fricken)ready!
Come up with solid proof, or shut your pie hole. (not you WC)
That being said, I don’t have a problem with rational sorrow over Diana’s death. I was sorry to hear of it. The boys lost their mother and I don’t like to see that sort of thing.
I don’t use the term ‘rid ourselves’ in conjunction with England. Although we did fight for our independence and take it by force, we do have a special relationship with Great Britain. When push comes to shove, I’ll take Great Britain’s support up against just about anyone’s support globally. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and even Tony Blare stood by the U.S. when we needed them, and I’d like to think we would stand by them as well.
With what is taking place in the world today, I’m not sure Great Britain will always be there. If it weren’t, it would be a sad day for me and our nation.
Despite our differences, we have a lot of heritage mixed up with Great Britain and other nations surrounding it on the islands. I’d hate to see that heritage lost to swarms of third worlders who don’t have a clue when it comes to the 21st Century.
Indeed. It looks as if we may soon be fighting another one if our electoral process does not have the desired effect.
