1:10:40 (quoting from Signet) "The first quarto forms the basis of the present edition, except for the abdication scene, which was omitted from the first 3 quartos, and included in the fourth in 1608." (end quote) "This play was published 3 times during Shakespeare's lifetime, but every one of those times they didn't leave in the deposition scene." Bravo, sir. At the length truth will out. And nothing is truer than truth.

@5:47,,, On hereditary princes and the new princes @26:10 two of the luckiest men who ever lived were Alexander the Great and Frederick the Great since they were military geniuses and and and they were crown princes. Napoleon was a commoner and had to struggle to get to that top position. @57:30 Nietzsche's slave and master morality

15:44 his frankness is refreshing: democracy is an inefficient, unavailing, non sense means of choosing rulers. monarchy has its own problems, but democracy is a time wasting and resource wasting mode of governance. Americans can't figure that out because they're too busy being "proud", which is what any civilization steeped in ignorance must be.

A great artist can inspire fear in a Queen better than an opposing standing army.
