Anyways I think if we had a family like Kings and Queens with little power similar to England it would go a long way to bringing unity to the States. The closest we had were the Kennedy's and the country was getting used to them as people to look up too.
An amendment to the Constitution to allow a vote for a King of America in name only would bring us together as a people and give us something to focus our energy on rather than just following Brad and the thing he calls a mate.
The King would recieve no benefits from this title and have absolutely no power but he could be sent around the world as an ambassador of sorts to help smooth any feathers that our string of recent Presidents always seem to ruffle.
For nominations we could pick the Bush family or the Clinton family but it doesn't have to be people involved in politics. For example we could elect the Kardashians to represent us.
Thoughts?

What have they given us other than grief and strife, nothing! What have they contributed to the general population (a term used in prisons btw), nothing! What kind of example have they left us with, a bad one!
Lead by example, pahh, no wonder the worlds so ef'd up!
If you want someone to look up to, look at a great non-medicated athlete, or a great thinker, or really it could just be a relative that pushed you into doing the right thing by example or someone who gave you the time or encouragement you needed when you needed it.
There are no "good" leaders, there are only puppets and puppet masters and they should be treated with equal amounts of disdain and disgust.
Cheers - Dave

I was with you until your last sentence dude. There are great leaders, I've met some truly "good" ones and they are miles apart from what the political world tends to cough up.
