god save the queen

As Independence Day approaches, it is interesting to note that although the American colonists revolted against the reign of King George III in 1776, 232 years later, the British still live with a monarchy.  Not under a monarchy, but never the less, with a monarchy.  The last fiscal year saw the Brits spending nearly $80 million to support the Royals.  Better them than us.  That’s another good reason to celebrate the 4th of July!
