Every country today gets filed under one of two labels: monarchy or republic. The line between them used to be obvious. Now it barely holds up. This video asks whether the two systems are as different as we assume. The video traces how monarchies and republics have converged over time. Monarchies once stood for old privilege while republics promised liberty and equality, but that split has blurred in practice. Today the real difference sits mostly in dynastic succession versus its absence, and even that line has exceptions. The video argues that both systems carry real merits and drawbacks, and that no single model fits every nation.
The musings and meandering thoughts of a crotchety old man as he observes life in the world and in a small, rural town in South East Nebraska. I hope to help people get to Heaven by sharing prayers, meditations, the lives of the Saints, and news of Church happenings. My Pledge: Nulla dies sine linea ~ Not a day without a line.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
