[QUOTE="Daniel Knight, post: 128533, member: 1113"] I must admit that I am finding it rather peculiar that it appears to be the Americans (who as far as I’m aware have utterly [I]nothing[/I] to do with the UK monarchy) to be the ones who seem to be the hardest hit by this news. This is fair enough. They are viewing the monarchy as something akin to their own mighty empire – as something to be defended, upheld, and blindly followed. I have no problem with this. In fact I envy the pride American’s have for their own country. I’m sure a little bit of flag waving is great for the old loyalty muscles. I have the same love for my country, but certainly not for its leaders though. I think I can promise you that there wouldn’t be too many wet eyes if little Johnny Howard kicked the proverbial bucket on the morrow. Now I can’t speak for the UK on this matter, but I’m certainly not going to stop anyone from that location from bagging someone who as far as I’m aware, was nothing more then the mother of a figurehead anyway. To suggest that her death holds any more grief then the death of child you’ve never heard of in some third would country, would not only be ignorant, but also ridiculous. To further suggest (as one poster did indeed do), that the UK would be diminished without the Royal Family, would be to insult every single person living their. But then again, maybe your right!? After all, England is just chock full of monarchists and people spouting Monty Python, isn’t it? What more could they possibly provide the world with? [/QUOTE]
