Syed, if you have sources, please quote them, e.g. texts, titles, authors,
ISBN numbers, journal numbers, whatever.  Otherwise John is quite right to
dismiss your claims in the absence of a valid and recognisable source.

I doubt that's applicable any more in this country, where both I and John
reside.  A MORI poll in January of this year showed that in a survey of
16-to-24 year olds, 66% were interested in the lives of The Simpsons as
opposed to 18% being interested in the Royal Family.  39% said they were
interested in the Royle Family, but let's not confuse things too much for
non UKers :)

70% of those polled felt that the monarchy was "out of touch with ordinary
people", so when your countries youth feels disenfranchised by their
regents, how can they possibly be infected by their method and/or manner of
rule?
