Political opinions

I have decided to become a hard-line monarchist. At least under divine-right absolutism it's natural and inevitable that the king will make life horrible for the peasants, there's nothing anyone can do about it and you don't have to live with the knowledge that most of the people around you are actively helping him do so.

(I don't often post about politics, so, just this bit of venting and then back to the opinions on books and Christmas carols, I think.)
