[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5219675, member: 24302"] So you're saying the British should've remained in power? The French aristocracy? The Russian aristocracy? Wow. History is full of examples of one group having power but eventually lost their power to others who wanted the power and wealth. Usually because those in power were totally corrupt and decadent. And eventually those who won control were themselves usurped. But very few kings are remembered as noble and high minded. They were just men. Some expanded empires, some were kicked out. But the idea that they were somewhat better than what we have today comes up short. Anything concocted and run by men always comes up short. What we have today with people wanting to assert control and do away with the Constitution is just the latest in a long line of men wanting what others have. You're falling into the trap of believing there was a time when all was wonderful and noble beings made sure of it. Has never been the case. The idea of that is fantasy written in novels to provide escapism. [/QUOTE]
