Sorry, Anthrophobia!
"Back then a monarchy does no equate with evil as they do in many countries today..."
This is how the quote should have looked like. My fault. My point was not to imply that you were anti-democratic, which i don't believe. It's just that the majority of people actually living in monarchies does not equate monarchy with evil, rather, we take pride not only in being citizens, but also being Loyal Subjects to our Soverreigns.
Were would Spanish democracy have been today without the heroic actions of His Majesty Juan Carlos, for instance?
As a staunch monarchist myself, i fully subscribe to your thesis that a strong monarch is the best alternative where the tecnology and infrastructure for real democracy is wanting.
