Would anyone really care all that much if the whole Royal family died in some tragic accident? :dunno:

Well I wouldn't wish that on any family, but the truth is that many British people hold them in high regard and status and have something like affection for them. So the answer sadly is yes.

I'm not British, so beyond, as Rum says, not wishing that upon any family, no, I couldn't give a flying.

Couldn't they just get actors for the Royals? Pay them union wage 50 hours a week, sundays off. They would pose for currency and stamps and coins.

Not true of ours! It is full of life, lunacy and young attractive teachers in short skirts!

And most of them are female!

Man, you already had an actor for a head of state and look what kind of catastrophe that was.

Do you mean that in the "Would anyone really care all that much if I ate the last piece of pie?" sense?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Probably true today, but it isn't long ago that you could add Daily Mirror readers and you probably could add a fair percentage of Sun readers today. The working class, which has largely become the unemployed and underclass were not always as alienated from the mainstream as perhaps they have become.
