God save the Queen

i live in holland. and holland is an monarchy
Begin this year our queen beatrix announced she was stepping down.,

and let her son prins Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange step up and be king.
On 28 January 2013, Beatrix announced that she will abdicate on 30 April 2013, on (Koninginnedag )(Queen's Day),
tomorow is the historical day , cause its been a while we had a king in this country,

they say its been a century,
so when she announced  the abdication so (some) of the dutch people went nuts,.


but anyways im was not raised to be an monarchy fan, i was raised to be neutral,
my mom raised me to find my own way in life, with religion and monarchy and other stuff.
so i grew up with respect for everyones religions and if you loved the monarchy i respect that to,
do i love the monarchy, mmm i kinda do..im not a screaming fan with mug and posters of them .
i respect the monarchy , cause its been a tradition for god how many years i dont know, centuries i Guess.


but there are also people that truly hate them,
for what reason i dont know, theres only one i hear so much, 

and that is a financial issue, some of the people feel that the royals get to much money and hate the fact that they dont have to pay taxes,
and i Guess its not fair. , but what not many know is how much money the royals bring into the land.

because of all of their visits in diffrent country's  .
there are things done that benefit the Netherlands , financialy, and they try to make us look beter,

cause lets be honest if you think of holland what do you think ,
yes i know clogs and hookers and cheese and windmils,
oke we have those , but we are not only that , we are so much more,
but anyways,
love it or hate it..the monarchy exists,
and im not a fan..but i respect them and thats my opinion and i respect everyone's opinion to,
but anyways..

i wanted to give my respect to the Queen beatrix..
                   GOODBYE Your Majesty
