Which Reminds Me

Yes, so just because I may or may not stand to receive royalties of the gas and oil variety in the future, that does not mean that I live in a country that has a monarchy. I don't quite find that amusing, your gas and oil joke about royalties. Mineral rights are a legal thing, not a matter of blood type. Thus your royalties logic does not compute. Surely a wise and merciful monarch and/or elected ruler would not be interfering with my personal pocketbook issue in regards to royalties. One would think.
