[Cro Dreoilin] An interesting article

[Shaun Vavra]

It is amazing to me how much interest Americans seem to have for the
royals.  I'm not a big fan of monarchs or the belief that we have to support
them.  To me it fosters the notion that some human beings deserve more
attention than others for the sake of birth alone.  If you haven't figured
out by now, we still live in a class based society and here in America that
notion is very alive.  We can have an idiot like trump get on national TV
and ask our president to present his birth certificate to all.  What a
racist!  Frankly I'm tired of the crap that is going on and felt the need to
speak out about this.  My hope is that some day we wont need monarchs, we
wont need class elites to run our world and we can live closer to the Earth
and respect one another for who we are.
