The Unitary Executive Branch.... Is that another administrative agency?

Oh... you don't say. America is now a fiefdom, no more privacy as an American, and we have to work under what conditions you say, and for what wage? And you're raising our credit card interest to what rate? You don't say...and we don't need to bother to vote you say... you don't say. And why all this change? Someone named Alito? This guy you say he believes in the theory of Unitary Executive Branch, this shining and polishing of the new type of leadership of the future for America. "If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, so long as I'm the dictator," leadership of the best kind, keep it simple stupid.

1. The madness of King George.

Madness, revolution, war—and fifteen children. Poor George III—he lost his American colonies and his mind. He loved books and agriculture. Some people called him "farmer George." Do you think they called him that to his face?

Early in his reign, Britain defeated France in the Seven Years' War. This made George ruler of the world's strongest superpower. He insisted on taxing the colonies to pay war debts, but the colonists didn't think much of that. Parliament passed tax laws; George refused to back down, and the colonies declared their independence.

After the colonies beat the British in the American Revolution, George became mentally ill and couldn't rule for a time. He got better, fought France again, enjoyed a brief period of peace, and then fought another war with France. (Do you think all those wars were stressful?) On the plus side, during his reign, Britain abolished the slave trade, though slavery continued in British colonies until 1833. After George III went completely mad, his eldest son ruled in his place and eventually succeeded him as king.

Seems oddly familiar...all that warring and stuff. Wonder if he liked to clear brush, too?

"To arms! To arms!"
