Newtown School Shootings

It's also not true, at all - one good King is infinitely more valuable than one good rifle, and the Americans are always telling us we should be a Republic like them because it is teh awesome.

I know, a good king can be better than a good gun, even better than a good president because he has spent his entire life being trained to rule, he has his entire life to do good on his country and isn't distracted with popularity contests every 4 years, a good president has 8 years maximum to get what he wants done, spent his life learning to appeal to people instead of doing the job he's supposed to do, has to spend time working on his PR and all his efforts can be undone by enough votes by the opposition. Unfortunately for every good king there's a bad king, and a bad president can be offset and kicked out of office a lot easier. Personally I kinda wish constitutional monarchy allowed the monarch to advise parliament more, would be good to have a long term perspective to compliment the elected official's short term perspectives.
