I am very glad to know that these people are capable of great examples of leadership.

Unfortunately the message getting sent right now by these legal changes is "I want my hat to be pointier than yours."

I"m also highly concerned at the example being set by our Prince and Princess who are considering accepting bids for their Coronation outside of kingdom.

In the positive sense this is a pair capable of thinking outside the box in a bad economy where they are having trouble getting bids.  In the negative sense - is it a real solution for those situations where we are having trouble getting bids?  Are we telling the world that Atlantia is not capable of managing its own kingdom level events any more?  What are we saying about our kingdom status when our event bids get accepted by groups out of kingdom?  

I worry about the message that sends to the BOD and elsewhere.
