They give us no benefits ( the widely used "they get us a lot of tourism" is complete bullshit, the palaces would still be visited regardless. Look at france - Versailles gets loads of visitors.)
So they do have some power? I wasn't aware of that. What power do they have? I'm sure it's nothing like the power they used to wield.
You're not the first person I've heard who thinks the royals are useless. I believe I heard Tracy Ullman say something like, "Why do we pay people to be better than the rest of us?" On its face, it seems silly for a democratic country to have kings, queens and such.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
