    The reason I feel it would be irresponsible for us not to face the fact
that a Principality does become a Kingdom is because it is the next logical
step in growth. To not face that as a potential is like getting a
kitten or puppy and expecting it to remain in the same state of maturation
and not become a cat or dog. I agree that it does not have to happen but I
disagree that we should not face the facts that it could and most likely
would become a Kingdom.
