Kudos to the Founding Fathers of the great nation of America that when they drafted the magnificent American Constitution, there was no inclusion for the statuses of King and Queen, Duke and Duchess, Count and Countess, Maharajah and Maharani…or any such form of so-called privileged royalty.

Too often in history – and even today – monarchs and others with claim to special blood at birth, have expropriated the public coffers, abused, misused, and usurped their proclaimed superiority for sinister, selfish, and ulterior motives while lording it over their hapless subjects.

Perhaps in ancient times, God did indeed use special individuals to guide and protect his peoples – but I daresay that today royalty is an anachronism that is an insult to the concept that all men and women are created equal. I am indeed proud to live in a country that does not include such privileges in its Constitution.

God bless the USA.
