Für Gott, Fürst und Vaterland!

The The Princely House of Liechenstein & Princely Supreme Court will be unhappy you think they believe in democracy.

At any time the Prince can dissolve the Parliament. That's precisely the sort of power that brought about revolution in Russia when Czar Nicholas II used it.

Don't confuse national impotence or a nation completely off the radar of major global politics with enlightenment.

Trust me, there is no nation that is a bigger proponent of democracy than the United States of America.

Heck, most folks here aren't even aware that age discrimination and many other types of discrimination are perfectly okay in places like Germany.

"You've seen younger years haven't you?" was what a German friend of mine was recently told as she was turned down for a job based upon her age. (she's in her late forties).

And still, here in 2007, obedience to ancient Catholic religious edicts is still enforced by various European governments.

Keep trying though...
