Comments:
: The famous English king who tragically/romantically fel in love with his romantic (E2?) US woman Mrs. Simpson had clearly an E4 personality: : - he absolutely positioned himself outside the aristocratic 'fine fleur' by marrying an devorced non-royal woman in 1936 (remember the UK E1 culture is still not very permissive; but it was absolutely rigid and intolerant at that time!) : - provoking the establishment still more he sympathized with all the ex-centric (as seen from the royal perspective) sub-cultures he could find: mineworkers, nazi's (he greeted Hitler the nazi way) : - he used booze to get over his depressive periods : - un-realistic nazi inspired 'wonderful' plans for reforming Britain (remember at that time nazism was not seen as 'wrong' by many people; Hitler was chosen as Man of The Year by Time magazine!) : - another non-conformity: he thought the UN was a dangerous organization : - more ex-centrics: he didn't go to the church; had liberal plans for India; gave everybody who opended a door for him a 5 pund banknote : Cheers! : Jan
