The end of a monarchy, or are they just sleeping? by

There are proponents and opponents of the monarchy. I’ll will leave you with your own idea about that.
The longer I play with the chess pieces the more idea’s I get… I want you to think about the monarchy…. why is it so popular in my country (The Netherlands), are there any benefits, what’s the use of it next to a chosen parliament? Questions, but I’m not sure if I really want the answers….

About Bob Daalder

Bob is especially interested in ‘the soul’ of the things without one, the expressiveness of the lifeless, the essence of material….. macro photography, ‘things’ in particular.
‘Things’ don’t have the tendency to walk away, to fly, to move, to have a meaning, are always present and do not complex, have patience, don’t nag etc. etc….. As Bob wrote in his profile… “I like it simple!”…

    I THINK PEOPLE LIKE TO HOLD TO THEIR TRADITIONS…A LONG LINEAGE THAT CAN BE FOR CERTAIN UPHELD, GIVES A SENSE OF CONTINUITY AND COMFORT NOT TO MENTION HISTORICAL VALUE….BUT AS A RULING CLASS (?) I BELIEVE WE AS A HUMAN RACE HAVE EXTENDED BEYOND THAT TYPE OF THINKING REGARDING SOCIETAL STRUCTURE!!….JUST AN OPINION TO YOUR QUESTION!!

    GREAT SHOT BY THE WAY!!

  • thanks for telling me/ us what you think about the issue and of course thanks for the compliment!
