RE: DO MOST AMERICANS WISH THEY WERE STILL PART OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE AND HAD A QUEEN INSTEAD OF A PRESI

Queen Elizabeth II is a lovely woman, and I most assuredly would enjoy her as a woman. The colonists that mostly rebelled against the cruel treatment by the various military commanders who forget that the Colonist were British citizens too. The colonist for the most part were pushed into seeking liberty. It is true King George III was very poorly advised concerning his colonies. He also suffered from porphiria. Mosty Bristish Americans had no desire to break with Britain. It was only from the constant, cruel, vicious behaviour and attitudes of so many Royal military leaders, who represented only the very worst of the Crown's council, that the disparate colonists, were gradual forced into Union. It was the King's fault, at last. The current US Constitution evolved and still is evolving thanks to the mechanism built into it in the amendment prosess. It is no divine instrument. It is a American made document interpreted and applied differently by each and every generation, that draws from the recorded ideas of the early American Colonist who chose to lead themselves. No. I would not want the United States of America to be part of Britain again. The British Commonwealth of Nations is already large enough. It is a pleasure to have the Queen visit the USA, and I enjoy visiting her Nation. Alas, I am a citizen of the United States of America! England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland: All these nations are where my forebears came from. It is similar to asking a Chilean if he or she would prefer returning to live under the sovereignty of the Spanish monarch. Most would say "NO!" Yet, King Juan Carlos is free and very welcome in Hispano America, precisely because those nations rule themselves.

As for having the Queen, I love her, I kiss her, I embrace her, but commands me not!
