'But is there no danger,' resumed Coningsby, after the pause of a few moments, 'that the Republic of Paris may absorb the Kingdom of France?' 'I suspect the reverse,' replied Sidonia. 'The tendency of advanced civilisation is in truth to pure Monarchy. Monarchy is indeed a government which requires a high degree of civilisation for its full development. It needs the support of free laws and manners, and of a widely-diffused intelligence. Political compromises are not to be tolerated except at periods of rude transition. An educated nation recoils from the imperfect vicariate of what is called a representative government. Your House of Commons, that has absorbed all other powers in the State, will in all probability fall more rapidly than it rose. Public opinion has a more direct, a more comprehensive, a more efficient organ for its utterance, than a body of men sectionally chosen. The Printing-press is a political element unknown to classic or feudal times. It absorbs in a great degree the duties of the Sovereign, the Priest, the Parliament; it controls, it educates, it discusses. That public opinion, when it acts, would appear in the form of one who has no class interests. In an enlightened age the Monarch on the throne, free from the vulgar prejudices and the corrupt interests of the subject, becomes again divine!'
A bit of a kooky site there IF.However, this quotation from Coningsby might give a person pause: Quote from: Disraeli's character Sidonia'But is there no danger,' resumed Coningsby, after the pause of a few moments, 'that the Republic of Paris may absorb the Kingdom of France?'

What is the proof that Carole Goldsmith is a Jєω? Just her name?
They're Anglicans. It is rumoured, though, that William is a Freemason.
Yeah I thought about that too. I bet Prince William holds Anglican beliefs. I am a little weary about Kate Middleton (Its possible she is acting). She may also hold these beliefs, but who knows. Technically speaking though, they are Jєωs by Jєωιѕн Law. Or at least it seems that way.
