God Save the Queen
I think the love story between Charles and Camilla is actually really sweet! They've been in love since they were young but were unable to marry because of an antiquated monarchial tradition. And we all see what came of that!! And frankly, if the love of my life loved me back and was unable to marry me and instead had to marry a gorgeous saintly woman who the whole world fawned over, meanwhile I was demonized and hated, I'd be pretty pi$$ed off too!! If she had been beautiful and dressed in fabulous jewels and ballgowns the world would be thinking of it as a fairytale come true! I'm just glad that at least they ended up together in the end...even if it wasn't the rest of the world's idea of a happy ending!

I received this same email from a friend of mine last week and I replied to her that, technically, England is entitled to only the 13 original colonies/states and that France should take back the Louisiana Purchase while Mexico takes back Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California and Nevada. Anything left over Canada can have if they want it. Now that I think on it, Spain might be entitled to Florida.

The Native Americans don't get a shot at land reclamation, then? Some of the eastern tribal leaders were given titles by the English - but these were stripped after the American Revolution. I bet their descendents would be asking for those titles back should QEII make good her proclamation!

If Queen Elizabeth is making this claim, then yes, otherwise everyone should leave and the Natives can live in peace again.
