Monarchy?
« on: September 28, 2007, 09:57:55 AM »

"Forty percent of Americans have never lived when there wasn't a Bush or a Clinton in the White House."

Wow, crazy. Also throw in H. W. as veep and we have some significant years...

...not that I care really. It was just sort of a "Hunh, no way!" moment when I read the article.

Americans love an Aristocracy. Since we don't have folks of noble/titled birth of or our own we create a nobility thru other means.

Probably has something to do with the dilution of our pioneer heritage, the urbanization of the populace as a whole and the wussification of men.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

What gets me is that somewhere out there, there are still folks who think that Quayle would be a viable presidential candidate...
