What "royalty" is...
Long, long ago in the dark and swampy past, some guy bonked my/your ancestor over the head with a stick, and declared himself in charge. He enforced this ongoing situation with force, and taught his ancestors to do the same. And so, with each passing generation a more orderly detante emerged. Those who no longer remembered when they werent ruled, and those rulers who conseqiently no longer needed to rule by brutish force. Thus, as passive acceptance set in, so too did a more "elegant" brand of force...that of the fictional fairy tale history. The pretty princesses and balls amd castles and chivelrous gentlemen.
But make no mistake, these "royals" didnt always exist. It all just began with a bonk over the head. And whatever the fairytale is, YOU are paying for it.
This is true of all royalty, be they as new as the 1950's (Saudi's), or as old as the current 3/4's German queen known as "the British crown"
There is nothing magical. They are just as inbred as Appalachian mountain folk, and not nearly as skilled at anything other than living off the worlds most generous welfare allowance.
The rabble are unruly and prone to be hot tempered, ill-advised, and improperly suited to vote. But they strive to live FREE! Even if that freedom is imperfect. As such, count me among the rabble.
