I don't know how far this news travels, but the 21st of July we (Belgium) will be getting a new king. I'm still wondering if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
I still cannot understand why people need a king. All I see is extra taxes to pay for their yaughts, helicopters, trips, villa's and much more.
At least they could open up the royal greenhouses for the whole year instead of 3 weeks. They don't use them anyway :s. They get maintained by a lot of gardeners with our tax money so I wan't to be able to visit them when I want. *irritation* 
But again to the point: a new king.

We'll be having 2 kings and 3 queens then! 
Of course we need a king (and a queen)! How else can we play chess?

Ah yes! Already forgot the old one with the birdsnest on het head and the current one!
I actually don't know how to play chess. It's as hard for me as understanding the need for a royal family.
Instead of learning how to play chess I'll try and teach myself ways of making money. Let's say by putting money in a certain foundation to avoid taxes?

A King or Queen in this day and age seems silly, and rather pointless. - Millet |

I see . Could be a very good president. Too bad he has to listen to a lot of other people and follow their decisions. I guess he actually has the same function as the king of Belgium.

Times ago, people in France checked the king and the queen, if they really have blue blood and are really the "chosen one", they used guillotine to it.
So someone is Born to Be Wild

And someone is Born to Be Rich king or queen.  |

Darn! If I were an American citizen I would have definitally voted for Obama. He seems so honest and peacefull, trying to close the gap between rich and poor.
Nonethless, only 12 days left before the arrival of the new king. I wonder what kind off king he will be. I hope progressive!
