    Aside from the fact that William was funded by the Dutch bankers (and so the authors of many of our present ills), is there a reason we’re reading this? I’m aware the former divine right of kings is being replaced with the divine right of bankers, am I getting anywhere near warm?

      I’m putting it up for interest because some people might not be as well-informed as you, Bill, and may be interested in finding out a little about how we got into our current position; the philosophies that underpin the modern state and, thereby, the way modern politicians are betraying those ideas.

      Also, nobody’s forcing you to read it!
