Royal My Ass

English class crap makes me crazy. The tradition is that some people are somehow innately superior. In England it's imbedded in everything, so much so that even the lower classes buy into it but the beliefs are somewhat self-fulfilling and so the thing is circular and therefore, as they would say over there, it's rubbish.

Americans now assume innate inequality but with a deterministic twist probably related to the hideous doctrine of predestination. Everything happens because it was supposed to happen and had to happen and was sanctioned and sanctified by God. So the successful are smug and everyone else feels unworthy. 

In other words, everyone loses.
