I honestly don't get it.

There are so many threads on other topics in DU.

Harry and Megan are the first "royals" I've actually respected. They should run as far away as they can from those in-bred nut-jobs.

Charles is a stuffed up prig and so is his second wife. His first wife was under-appreciated and abused, obviously.

The Queen? Meh. Why should I care?

Prince Andrew? Don't make me laugh! He's a despicable lout who was friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Do the arithmetic.

Prince Anne? Who's she?

William and Kate? Well, they're a nice-looking couple who fit right into the historical anomaly of the Royal Family.

There are others, I'm sure. They all trade on their heritage. Earn it yourselves, you lazy hangers-on!

I'm with you, Tommy. Who gives a shit? In the United States, we founded a nation that did away with that religious and familial hierarchy. That's what a Democratic Republic is suppose to be about.

At least, I thought we did.

maybe not in a positive way, but you do care.

I’m watching The Wire right now for the first time. Recognize your handle now, curious why you chose this character? I’m almost done with season three, he’s gearing to run for mayor. I. LOVE. This. Show. In my top three with The Americans and The Sopranos.
