and I don't disagree.

However, Americans already made their choice in 1776-- and yet are perilously close to an even worse choice--a horrific combination of autocracy/plutocracy/fascist theocracy.

So, as far as I am concerned I leave thoughts on the Royalty in the UK up to those impacted and suggest Americans look at our own emerging debacle. We have more than enough to be concerned about such that pointing fingers at the Brits is just hypocrisy at its worse IMO.
