Are you a Brit? I admit to being a bit of an anglophile and while I too think the monarchy is a waste of money I admire the Brits respect for tradition.
I've stood inside that Cathedral and couldn't bring myself to utter a sound. It was that awe inspiring. We don't honor our physical history the way England does. We bulldoze and rebuild. Maybe one day if we survive as a nation for two thousand years we'll be able to celebrate in a similar way.
