Our People's House Families

HG probably has me blocked, so I may as well speak freely. What a bizarre question. The families should remain private as far as I'm concerned. We have zero claim over them, this is not a Royal Family scenario.

To answer the question, I suppose I'd go with Millard Filmore's daughter Mary. Lovely girl.

I was just a little grumpy when I made that post. I still find it weird to judge who had the best family. In any other profession, it would be odd and downright problematic to do such a thing.

Perhaps there is a smidge of merit in the concept of monarchy if it allows the actual power-holders to avoid such inanity and intrusion.

Unrelated, but I also find it perplexing that the OP on one hand praises Ken Burns, then on the other hand calls FDR a hero. Did he not see Ken's docu series "The US and the Holocaust"? The man was FAR from a hero. I guess if you look at those events from a MAGA-style America First angle, I guess he could be portrayed as a hero. From a humanity angle… not so much.

Agree, but Highland Guy did not ask for best family. He asked about having a favorite family.

Would you like the Swiss model?

No one person as head of government.

Concrete operational vs Formal operational.

No, I’m not… but thanks for such a quality contribution to the thread.
