The Curtsey

A story in Harper's Bazaar about celebrities meeting the Queen has a bit of a ruction going on Facebook. I've been around the world a bit and see no harm in respecting the culture of another country. If I went to Saudi Arabia, you can bet I would wear Niqab. If I went to the Jungles of South America, I am not sure I would run around in a few leaves, but not out of disrespect. If I went to Japan, I would try to find out about their usual greeting, and bow and say hai as is proper.

I am surprised that the Curtsey to the Queen is so divisive, especially amongst those from the UK. To me, it would be a natural thing though it is well established amongst those who know me, that I am a submissive of the 11th order. EXCEPT, when I'm not. In my rather casual study of the history of that area of the world, it looks like the English pretty much forced Scotland, Wales, and Ireland to knuckle under for a long time. There is a Welsh woman who talks to me about UK history from time to time and it seems as though "Game of Thrones" is mild by comparison.

Americans think they are such a bunch of tough basterds but they really don't have a clue do they? Sure they went around slaughtering the Native Americans with disease and superior weapons, but where is the glory in that?

I am confused about the emotional response of some to the curtsey.
