[FH] Tedious Royalty Debate... Re: Questions regarding NAC ground units, was SG IF morale

Did someone say "Kennedy"?

I'd have to say Long or Rockefeller make better examples(my girlfriend
mentioned 'Bush' just to watch me shudder), but I'm ok with your cite for
sheer national sweep, though short on generations. Also, there's a good number
of folk that say the American fascination with Diana, Princess of Wales, could
be attibuted to a wish for our own royalty. Dime store
psychology, but plenty fine for PS/H(istorical)B.

However, you can run it as you please; I have some problems with an 'Earl of
Nebraska' or 'Viscount of Lincoln' myself. Megan will STILL be a Dame in my
fluff.

Well, there is a certain degree of precedent...

Try a net search for "Emperor Norton," or if you have access to a reasonable
library, pick up "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers....

I'm familiar with Emperor Norton. He was tomlerated because he was quaint, but
if his Imperial status had been imposed on the good citizens of San Francisco
by the government, things would have been a tad uglier.
