Which Reminds Me

Yes, one question to ask might be why are all of these people making such a fuss about some dimly remembered conversation that took place maybe 580 years ago? Soon to be 600 years. Well, if you ask me, the whole thing is a Jacobite farce. What are we going to do with all of these Jacobite pretenders? There just aren't enough thrones to go around. There isn't room for more than one king per kingdom. Nowadays fewer kingdoms than ever have a place for a king, and yet there are more pretenders than ever. There are pretenders to the thrones of France, Russia, Greece, etc. etc. While at the same time England, one of the few kingdoms with royalty, already has enough kings lined up for the next two or three generations. Pretenders of today don't have much hope of getting anywhere if they are pinning their hopes on seizing the English crown. Just being male won't get you that far. The English people seem to be content with the royalties they already have. So can't these pretenders just go and get jobs? Go get a life. So I am just repeating the obvious even though I really don't know whose idea it was originally to explode this point into a much bigger discussion than it was worth to me. Some people just like to argue about nothing much.
