    So when the USA has reached a certain age, you will get rid of the republic and form a different government?

    And what, exactly, is necessarily wrong with a monarchy? Must it be what it used to be? And even if it would be that bad, would you say that a republic with a president necessarily is better? Is it?

    I live in a monarchy, and if it doesn't go against your worldview too much, we are actually free (we can even use sex toys, unlike our Texan friends), we don't have a government that locks us up indefinitely, we don't have the death penalty, we believe in healthcare and education for everyone (I'm silly enough to believe a civilisation worth its name should do that), we're not very religious, and we have long ago decided to get rid of any imperalistic and oppressive ambitions. Can your "modern" country brag about the same things?
