As an American what bothers me is when these empty suit talking head try to force Royalty on us, The Kennedy's for example. JFK's White House was referred to as Camelot....seriously fuck that shit! I think #1 its disrespectful to the way and manner this country was founded and #2 I don't know of many kings who got their money from Daddy's bootlegging business.

But for England royalty seems ok because that's how your country came to exist. Should it be phased out? Perhaps, but as someone on the outside I know its not my call to make.
