Entry: The New Takimag Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_new_takimag#18762 Post contents: <<I am a communitarian. I am a monarchist.>> The problem is: Who is the "King of America"? My opinion: Each and every person who is the "final authority"; sovereign, free from being able to be over-ruled by the consent of his subjects. For example, in my family, the youngest living brother of my grandmother would be by whom all decisions are made - he is, quite literally, KING. A king of not quite even 40 or so people, but a king nonetheless. This is the reality of the USofA - we don't have several thousand years of history (read: war) to sort through numerous families; the egalitarian spirit of America prevents that, all we have are our families here, no "kings and queens" of any size. To play "monarchist" in America is a bit foolish. One shouldn't consider himself a "monarchist" when there is no traditional "monarchy" to deal with, but instead clans. There really isn't even a word that describes a people led by a clan chief..."clannist"? "chieftainist"? Sent at: 2008 11 23
