Should we end this misadventure and pledge our allegience to the Throne?

Hell, no!
But I would say we're overdue for another American Revolution, so that those of us who WANT to could get back to the ideals and principles that this country was founded on.

Isn't the United Kingdom de-evolving? If the Scottish Nationalist Party has its way, at least the northern half of the island will soon not be united with the southern half, nor will it be a kingdom, but a republic. In addition to Scotland's new unicameral parliament (re-founded in 1999), I'd also read that Northern Ireland and Wales now have their own parliaments or assemblies. In short, it sounds like the United Kingdom is becoming a federal system similar to the United States--not the other way around, although holding elections and recalling the President for non-confidence, similarly to how the UK recalls an unpopular prime minister, sounds like a good idea. Of course, the UK is now a member of the European Union.
Besides, the tax-rate is higher in the UK than in the United States. Weren't high taxes (without representation) the primary reason for American independence in the first place?

The American system has been falling apart for the last 30 years or so, England meanwhile has improved its system and they have had a higher ranking than the USA for along time. Whether we should rejoin the British i dont know.But i dont think it would happen because colonialism ended finally after vietnam when the french were forced out. Every nation is entitled to self destiny or w.e its called, when a nations people are the ones who make their nations destiny instead of another one controlling it. I really dont care if the USA rejoins Britain, I'll be moving there or to Ireland in a few years.But i do like the Monarchy in Britain and the gentlemenly/lady like mood the nation has, very nice people.

Kick in the pants! Who said the States were ever independant from the UK? The UK has more say in the US than the US actually lets on and that's the way it is...always has been and will probably continue to be so.

i do not think we are done yet but I do believe we need to go back and rethink things through. Find and resolve our mistakes. Our journey isn't over but we need to believe in EVERYTHING we wrote. "We The People" need to stand up for what is right for EVERYONE. there is too much political pull and company control. Perhaps we need to get rid of the political parties and find something that would be true to all interest.

Well, maybe if Prince William gets on the throne since he is so cute (thanks to his Mom's genes) and Britian hasn't had a cute monarch for hundreds of years. And if so, we should still be able to sing the star spangled banner at ball games.

What throne? Join Scotland and be truly independant. No more firearms though, they aren't nice.
