It's become the Royal Addiction to the media.
Says something about country's that abandon their century's old traditions to remove the sense of identity the people have.
We keep trying this by renaming a Christmas Tree a Holiday Tree for starters. How many people today read to their children before they go to sleep, when was the last time we see a woman wearing a hat in Church, when do we rename Thanks Giving to something the Atheists approve of.
BTW the Queens only daughter Ann has her nose in a twist-----Strange woman, she says the birth of the future King of England has nothing to do with her. Kind of nasty comment as her daughter is due to have her baby next year. But then she is 10 in line to the Throne and I believe she was bumped back by her 3 brothers. Must be a blow to her that her mother changed the line of succession to allow the first born regardless of sex to be next to rule.
You want to tear up at American Tradition, head for Arlington and watch the horse drawn carriages carrying our Vets. to the grave. The Taps played and the salute. Some are solo, no family to be there, others have 20 limos and a band. I like to follow the carriages with no mourners just to insure at least one person paid their respects and thanks.
