We Live In 'The Now'

Some Britons still speak of an Empire When an Empire no longer exists. American Dean Acheson Once commented on this With a phrase he could not resist. 'Britain lost an Empire But had not found a role'... He spoke the lines - mid twentieth century. The words kind of touched the soul. My thoughts now roam to the honours system Which is certainly in need of revision: The MBE, OBE, not to mention the CBE Should be adjusted accordingly. Updated at last; the word Empire Belongs to the past. July 2008
