I always thought that was just a classic English/Brit sentiment .... "Born a peasant - Die a peasant." You know, the elite ruling class rides on the backs of the commoners.
I mean for gods sakes what do you expect? You people still have an elite royal family with crowns and carriages and class privileges and knighthood and all of the many wonderful things the Dark Ages offered.
... and people think Americans are backwards.
Indeed we are still stuck with a class system with the Royal Family at its head.
I don't think badly of all Americans although the country itself is a bastion of the Capitalist system, unfortunately.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
