Default WHAT IS A KINGDOM WITHOUT A SUBJECT?

"WHAT IS A KINGDOM WITHOUT A SUBJECT?"


In the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Three A.D. From the
Kingdom of Passport to World Band Radio, the sovereign Lord Magne has
proclaimed to the land of Google shortwave newsgroup, "As for today
there will be a 10% increase on taxes to all his subjects like the
shortwave aficionados for the fore coming publication of the 2004
Passport to World Band Radio from $19.95 to $22.95. " The sovereign
Lord Magne failed to mention to all his subjects where the taxes will
go. He didn't make any promises that he will improve or make changes
for the 2004 publication. The messenger James Careless has delivered
the message to all four corners of the kingdom about the increase in
taxes. Nobody can oppose it."So shall be written, so shall be done".

On this date the fifteenth of June, in the year of our Lord Twelve
Hundred and Fifteen A.D. King John of England is known as the
high-handed king who imposes high taxes to all his subjects throughout
his kingdom. He had a fearful temper and a long memory and his
insatiable quest for money and power, combined with his jealous nature
caused irreparable damage to John's regency and reputation. Revenge
became a game for John and he exacted his pound of flesh from those
who crossed him at any cost. This is the cause of all the subjects in
the kingdom to revolt against King John because of his character. That
has forced the king to sign the Magna Carta charter. The document was
basically a list of grievances the barons have against their king.
However, Magna Carta two most lasting provisions have benefited much
of the world. These are trial by jury of one's peers and a prohibition
against new taxes without permission of national representatives.
Implied was the authority of the barons to check a king. The
embodiment of the rudimentary notions of a modern parliament. The
monarchy was not absolute. In English history no document has been as
much of a foundation to civil rights as the Magna Carta.

This will apply to the sovereign Lord Magne, He should accept
criticism and reform thru his publication of Passport to World Band
Radio. Because without the shortwave aficionados patronizing his book,
this book won't survive. There is a saying "What is a kingdom without
a subject ?" or "What is Passport to World Band Radio without the
Shortwave Aficionados ?".
