Anything can be a cultural asset, but not everything is. A person's death, or a baby born, are milestone opportunities to reinforce culture and society. And culture and society is what separates decent people from absolute scum. And it is ok not to use the niceties all the time, one lives once and it isn't as if we are machines that need to replicate the past. But things from the past are a gift of love that allows us to function. When they are cultural assets being passed on. But things from the past can be a curse too, when they are not cultural assets. The monarchy under Queen Elizabeth 2 may cost millions a year, but compare them to the powerful failure of Obama, who has cost the US many Trillions of dollars, and one sees them as cultural assets. Because it is more than cost. Queen Elizabeth and her family return much of their value by doing the selfless acts, and also doing the high profile presence needed of heads of state. One shudders to think how Prince Charles will take on the responsibility when he does. Maybe he will be a responsible king. But Charles missionary zeal for alternative lifestyle and science, and his inappropriate involvement in politics in the past doesn't suggest it. Despite what many say of Edinburgh's mouth, his life has been exemplary and he has given much. Malcolm Turnbull is wrong to despise knighthoods and choices that reinforce cultural assets. Maybe, from shallow association, Turnbull sincerely believes that knighthoods are anachronisms of the past. More likely, however, he is being opportunistic in pressing home an advantage against Mr Abbott, much as he tried to do when he embraced AGW in the past. If only Turnbull's choices were conservative ones.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin' up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell rock
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bell chime in jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin' in Jingle Bell Square
In the frosty air
What a bright time, it's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
To go glidin' in a one-horse sleigh
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle bell
That's the jingle...

It is good, but here is my response
I've finished the first book for Bread of Life compilation for populist podcasters VivaFrei, AUS, The Duran and Bongino.
In the first volume, with quotes from months Jan to Apr, I write about how Australia came to be up to Federation.
In the 2nd volume I write about Australia from Federation to Menzies (Ming the Merciless)
In the third edition I write about Australia post Menzies.

I've pubished it in Hardcover too. Limited publishing because it is a non standard size to accommodate the amount of text.
