Frederick II would have lasted about a week in her job before killing himself conquering Europe.

had he been in England, there would have been no one to fight and win some actual battles on the continent for him.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Are you referring to my many ancestors who fought in the American Revolution?
Yes.

QuoteIf so they didn't live under a capable absolute monarch either before or after the war. :hmm:
Well, that's the thing with royalty.  By the time you know they are incapable, you are stuck with them for another 30 years or so.  At least in a democracy it lasts less than a decade.

I think that his mother was only a couple of deaths away from inheriting the British throne, so Frederick II could have been King of England and Prussia if he'd been a little more lucky.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

You see the guys who originally designed monarchy didn't expect too many of them to live past 40.

Charles XII. :yes: :wub:
Wasn't he the guy that lost all those battles and allowed Russia to expand west?  He's the worst guy ever.

I think you mean VegetAryan.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
