Imagine that, today in our age, we still have people who call themselves Emperors and Kings and Princes. And these inbred buffoons festoon themselves with medals and ribbons and hats unique to their circumstance, standing there on their palace balconies with their frozen smiles and mechanical hand motions while crowds of curious morons stand below them gawking.
I don't mind rich people. Whatever. You figure you need another 600 foot boat, go for it! But to go through these costumed dynastic motions is just ridiculous. I pity them somewhat, they are born into this monarchial machine and know nothing else.
