    Any man who would let his political theory determine his political choice, is an alien to the spirit and practice of American politics, the inclusion of lumpen affect notwithstanding. When the science of political irrationality overtakes the bookies, I'll start listening.

    Why bother with all this fringy stuff, mogrovejo? It's fine that you want monarchy for yourself, but wishing it on the rest of us is really too much.

    Famous quotes from public choice theorists in the 18th century:

    If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
    And be assured I've never wished, and don't intend to do it in the future, the ins ution of a monarchy anywhere in the world.

    The US republic was made for men, not angels.
    And by men, for men and women.

    No right stands unless the state enforce it, and the people continue to uphold it. The Cons ution of the USA is not a trifle, and it is not a quaintness -- not just yet, anyway.

    So noted. I appreciate the clarification.
