Having spoken to Canadians, South Africans and others about this royalty adulation and found them as enamoured as you, I have to admit, I'm baffled. What possible purpose does an anachronism like the Windsors serve for you? No, nothing near adulation Ray. Just respect and pride for tradition and history. The royals have zero political juice in Canada. Are your grandfather and great grandfather an anachronism? To my American instincts, this royal jelly roll is nothing other than a trifle, a frivolous folly and an indication that a large percentage of the population of the Commonwealth states are daft. Can you explain how this eccentricity plays purposefully into your world view? Daniel Boone, the pilgrims, the Liberty bell, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. Reverance is subjective. Cut the world a little slack will yah.
