Seixon, I'm glad to hear you're for abolishing the royal family of Norway. I don't favor having royalty, either. However, if it were a choice between any of the Scandavian royal families and the Imperial Presidency Bush and especially Cheney are trying to create, I would take the former and even the UK's Queen Elizabeth any day.
