I was told that >the option of skipping this function would have never occurred >to royalty as a choice. If you expect people to be noble, they often will be. One US president thought that giving a speach was more important than his health and dies as a result. Some postal workers take "neither sleat nor snow..." litterally. If you make someone king and they take it seriously, they may do something like this. It isn't a special property of royalty. >I don't think I can ever understand that flavor of a mindset. >But Europeans have no trouble understanding it; they even >expect it. Because they "very publicly expect it", the royalty is given a standard that they are going to be measured against. With that standard in place, human nature makes the royalty act that way some times. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Sure you can, you can make your peace with whatever God you believe in and say "Give me liberty or give me death" or you can say "Giving up a few rights in the glow ball war on terr is needed". This too is planning. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
