Actually, seriously, why do you need divide people into two groups:
Commoners and royalty, with nothing but accident of birth as the dividing
point.  Add to it the toadying of the commoners to the royalty.  Why should
Tony Blair bow to Mrs. Windsor-Mountbatten, but not not the other way
around?  He worked himself up to his current position on the approval of the
majority (voters), has.  Can the same be said of the residents of Buckingham
Palace?
