I believe that one of the main reasons for supporting Royalty is that it gives us a tangible chronology of our history,,a living proof of the age of our country in a time of increasingly temporary states of affairs. It gives us a fixed point of traditional reference when the world is often in a state of some turmoil. There is little sense of deference,,merely respect for a difficult job well done.

As our language becomes impoverished,,our thinking shrinks to fit.
