Subject: RE: BS: Let's Forget the Fourth of July
Trade in a republic for a monarchy? Why in the name of blue blazes would any sane country want to take such a backward step??
I'd much rather live as a citizen than a subject. I know it wouldn't put any more bread on the table, make me more attractive to the opposite sex or a better singer, but I'd just like it.
Good luck to the Yanks - they're clearly still learning (after all, 225 years is nothing in terms of age - I've eaten cheese that claims to be older than that!), but they seem to be a half-decent bunch.
All they need to do now is get this democracy lark sorted and get the right bloke in the White House, stop consuming so much and liquidate Macdonalds, Coca-Cola and other perveyors of crud and it would truly be a wonderful world!
Happy birthday for two days' time, USA.
