Watching the World Wake Up from History

The whole monarchy thing does very little for me, but it is interesting to note that the Anglican monopoly on the British crown may be soon coming to an end.

Gordon Brown has initiated legislation that would overturn the 300-year-old law barring Catholics -- and Jews and Muslims and Buddists, etc. -- from the crown. It's been determined that The Act of Settlement is discriminatory.

Of course, the system also sort of discriminates against anyone not part of the House of Windsor, but that's different.
