A Royal Baby is Born.... yawn...

Last evening as I was sitting in front of my TV (because sitting behind it is a waste of time and there is no room to do that anyway) when the news came in to my tablet that the Royal Baby had been born.

I was not impressed. I then watched some of "The Five" on FNC where they babbled on about it. Kimberly Gilfoyle (a rather foxy... no pun intended... commentator) remarked that it was an "historically significant event." After almost choking on the steak I was eating at the time, I shouted at the TV... "What historical significance?????" It's just another baby, one of millions born all over the world each year. Is it because the baby is a royal heir? Big deal. I am not a monarchist, I do not believe that certain people were born to rule, that they have anything special about them that justifies treating them as earthbound gods.

In fact, I am offended by the fact that royal families exist at all and that people think highly of them just because they do.

As I sat there dumbfounded by  the reactions of otherwise sane people, I realized that I would not have lasted more than a couple of days after learning to talk under a monarchy.
