I think though not as many people would like it if England (or any modern country) were ruled by another very active monarch like Henry the Eighth. He actually did a lot of good for England but all everyone seems to remember are his six wives. Today's tabloids would either crucify him - or maybe vice versa. Hmmm... now that I think of it, maybe that last part wouldn't be so bad.Someone like Henry Eighth would probably get things DONE, anyway. But would that be for the best of ALL OF US?
I don't know...

Many good things about historical people are overshadowed by their bad qualities.
The only people who do not get this treatment are either national heroes or the guy who founded the nation but those people will have their bad actions and qualities overshadowed by their good qualities.

Did this as one of my first nontug related forum topics here. This is my example of what could possibly become a future event here in the United States.

But I am quite knowledgeable about the Holy Bible and about the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and Pearel of Great Price. My family likes to calll me "The Scriptorian" because of I remember the people and stories within.

At least the Dutch don't have to put up with the agonizing presidential election season every four years to choose between Tweedledum and Tweedledumber. They DO have elections, but (afaik) without all the dirty politics and baggage the American system has. Sensible of them, I say. Why should they change?

The monarch can do everything, even if nobody agrees with him...
