well..
To protect his power and make him self immune from being criticised,
the Norwegian news paper have told and brainwashed the people of Norway to believe that the king have no political power.
So we have a election every 4 years anyway where the people can vote on his puppets.(The right or the left hand of the king).. ;)
And every single Friday, this puppets the people have voted on, goes to the kings castle and swear loyalty to their king.
Its like living with cavemen.. lol
Even the most simple things are almost impossible to make them understand, as long as one does not control the news paper, that they see as the encyclopedia with the answer for everything.
And they never ever think twice about anything, as long as it have been written in their Reuters encyclopedia.. lol
Hmm, but in case of so called "republican democracy" you have two elections: presidential and parliamentary so double the cost :)
This is one of the reasons i am so glad that i have a hobby that i can think about too.. ;)
I love people, life, nature and science,
and thanks to those things, i can escape now and then from the game our rulers play. :)
