Wait until you hit my age! At 61 years old, I can't remember half of the stuff I knew back 30 to 35 years ago. I have to admit, the other day I accidentally called my wife by my ex-fiance's name. UGH! That really went over well! LOL I used to be able to tell one every make and model of American car from the 1940s to the 1980s...Can't do that now.
Our system of government is designed to support a two-party system. It’s dang near impossible to get another party on the ballot, but Democrats and Republicans are automatically on every one. And for the record, I think we’d be vastly better off with a system that allows multiple voting options instead of the same two.
That wouldn’t go over very well for me with my wife.
Back when cars had character...
I don't think Charles is overly popular, nor is he particularly despised. The Queen endeared herself to the people thanks to a long reign marked by integrity, good character, faith, and leadership. She was a public figure as a teenager and became queen at 25. Charles, by contrast, is now 74. He was 3 when he became Prince of Wales, so he's spent his entire life as second banana.
There’s a widespread belief that the monarchy is today nothing but a figurehead. Compared to the pre-Magna Carta and English Bill of Rights days, this is indeed true. However, the King still has a lot of power, especially due to his influence and wealth. Some of the powers are a little wacky, but some are very real.
Yes, sir! And having been part owenr of three car lots and autobody shops, very much necessary!
