Windsors at it again

He asked an aboriginal "do you still throw spears at each other?" a remark typical of these people who consider themselves the ultimate in 'civilised'.
Of course, it is the British and the Americans - among others - who are 'throwing the spears' nowadays. The reply from the aboriginal was "we don't do that any more".
How much longer are we going to tolerate the existence of a group of people who stole, murdered and terrorised their way into a position 1000 years ago, at the same time giving stolen land and wealth to their cronies to help keep them there?
The pattern of government was set by these so-called 'royals' as is obvious when we observe what many politicians and presidents get up to. The root of the disease must be grubbed up to destroy the plant.
I don't advocate the French solution or the Russian. I'm sure we can find a way to do it so that they live. Charles Windsor recently enjoyed a stay in a British B&B - perhaps he's giving out a subliminal message that he's willing to go.

Totemism

A totem is a living or inanimate thing, regarded - and often venerated - as an outward symbol of an existing intimate unseen relation ..... any outward symbol given undue respect (thankyou Chambers dictionary).
The 'royal family' is a totem. If they are an outward symbol of an 'intimate, unseen relation' - what exactly is this? The fact that we carry efigies around with us in our pockets (aka money) perhaps demonstrates that they are using us - the people - to wield massive power which we do not even begin to comprehend.
We play their game unwittingly. So, though you may think that they are just a jokey bunch of anachronistic fogeys, think again. Take pity on the unsuspecting Brits.
