You are declaring that the Royals are a waste of time, have no uses.... but had you read Lizzies posts... you might see that she describes some of them adequately. Have you read Lizzies posts?? Is it you who is dodging the issue??? Are you so entrenched in your own opinion that you cannot tolerate anything outside it?
