Royalty & Equality - A Match made in Heaven

David Cameron has started a debate in the UK. Should the law be changed to allow gender equality with regards to the royal succession? In other words, if our beloved William & Kate's first child turns out to be a girl, should that girl become the heir apparent and succeed to the throne ahead of any subsequent male child? You know - in the interests of equality.

You must forgive me. I have watched open-mouthed as this debate has trundled past the collective torpor of deference currently awash in the UK. How can you use the monarchy as a vehicle to express your views on equality? The continued existence of this institution is an insult to any concept of equal opportunity. It is the very embodiment of undeserved and arbitrary privilege. It makes as much sense to demonstrate your commitment to equality through royal succession as it is to advocate the health benefits of apples using a witch. Seriously! Only in Britain...
