I know that you yanks think you got rid of Kings and Queens and the Aristocracy, but you do have one Kingdom within your midst..

Did you know Hawaii was the only Monarchy in the US?

And did you know that;
"King David Kalakaua was the last King of Hawaii who reigned from 1874 to 1891..... Kalakaua was proud of his status as a 32nd Degree Mason, and local Masons came to the aid of the Friends by offering to pay for the sword. The Masons laid the corner stone at the 'Iolani Palace in 1879 and stood guard when Kalakaua lay in state after his death. "
