Quote of the Day

"It is the popular theory, at least in America, that monarchism is a curse fastened upon the common people from above -- that the monarch saddles it upon them without their consent and against their will. The theory is without support in the facts. Kings are created, not by kings, but by the people. The visualize one of the ineradicable needs of all third-rate men . . . and that is the need of something to venerate, to bow down to, to follow and obey." -- H.L. Mencken
