I didn't even know she was pregnant until yesterday.

And now she isn't. My world remains startlingly unchanged.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Just been listening to a radio interview with Kate Middleton's midwife:

"What colour hair did it have?"
"None at all, completely bald," he replied.
"Is it cute?"
"It was beautiful, one of the cutest I've ever seen."
"Sweet! Now let's talk about the baby."

Dang, I like a little hair.

In a more serious (but not completely) thought, Its funny that monarchy goes against article 1 of the human rights declaration. Well, I guess they make money selling merchandize, money enough to keep people from thinking. Americans mostly mock the French, but they knew how to deal with royalty.

Capitalism in general goes against Article 1 of the Human Rights Declaration, doesn't it?

It seems to me that unless you interpret "right" to include "any and all entitlement or possession that you can get", it doesn't have to. If you do, then no one ought to get anymore entitlement and possessions than any other, and any economic system driven by disequilibrium in wealth and possession, such as capitalism, would contradict Article one.

But if you define right to be some specific set of entitlements and/or obligations, then it would be possible to adjust the content of the set to suite essentially any system of economy and governance.

To borrow a phrase from my Dad; if the entire Royal family disappeared tomorrow, nobody would notice, though there might be more money in the public coffers. The world would keep on turning. If all the binmen vanished tomorrow, we'd all be up to our ears in shit by Friday.
Well that technically not accurate, The Queen can Delay a law but can only for a period of time before parliament says, screw you were doing it anyway.
