Speaking as an American, then, let me just say God Save the Queen. You could do a lot worse that a constitutional monarchy like England has, Yeag. They don't necessarily think of themselves as serving a queen, anyway. They think of themselves as English citizens, then subjects somewhere down the list. The English people are well represented through their parliamentary system.

England happens to be one of my all-time favorite places. A lovely country with lovely people possessing lovely manners has been my impression. They deserve our respect and affection--and, frankly, our gratitude for the fact that they recently averted the liquid explosives terror plot on American-bound aircraft with their superior anti-terrorism intelligence work.
