Ok, I am pretty sure that every knows that no ever is supposed to touch the queen , it is standard protocol for anyone dealing with the English royal. Even with people from her own county aren’t allowed to touch her. So it was shock to everyone (except me because I am not sure what the big deal is.) when our first lady put an arm around the queen. Well apparently everything is fine now because the queens representatives said it was a mutual endeavor. But really what is the big deal, so she touched the Old royal. But the queen touched our first lady as well so should we make just as much of a big deal about it as they did? No, I don’t think so. I think the American people are a lot less conservative when it comes to casual touches (unless your me…see previous post 20 things I hate about people.) Its like openness is in our DNA. So, that being said could anyone imagine how it was for our blue blood forefathers? Who most likely still had the don’t-touch-me-unnecessarily-because-it-isn’t-proper attitude still stuck in there heads? It makes me wonder how we got to this point of causality. Was it because we want to be so much unlike where we came from that we acted as opposite as possible? Or was it because we were so far from the “mother land” that as the English influence became less and less our mannerisms change because of necessity and lack of contact with our previous source of behavior? I think that it is the latter. Well I am rambling now so I am going to stop.
