Hey Charlie, try growing a Victory Garden on your back 2,000 acres.

Yes, his Royal Selfishness is Feckless, Impotent, Pretentious, Silly, Shallow, Misguided, Petulant and Self Preening. I don't like the Prince of Whales either, I am talking about Algore!

I'm sure the good prince doesn't consume more than his fair share of the earth's resources, the same as, say, a Chinese factory worker.
Why do we so often hear this preaching from people who fly around in private jets and travel in limousine motorcades?

THe less substantial the person, the more out of touch with any aspect of real life, the greater the compulsion to ratchet up the rhetoric with these entirely overwrought, unprovable, but somehow URGENT scenarios for the future. Does NOBODY in authority have the balls to tell him STFU!!! Or is all ANY of them are interested in doing is to "play politics" with this issue from both sides?

I am sure you are right but in 1960 during a trip to England I had the chance to visit a small tower where The Queen and her family stayed next to Balmoral Castle in the north of England. If I remember correctly, they stayed there when work was being done on Balmoral. I was surprised at how little and cramped and down right seedy it was (for a queen to stay in). It was a tower with a curved staircase in the center and three rooms on each floor and with probably 4 floors, not counting the ground floor. I mean, honestly, where would the servants stay? LOL!

Can there be any more conspicious consumers than the Royal Family? They probably have single handedly caused at least 2% of the damage to the ozone layer.

This issue of "global warming" is getting a huge push lately, and is the biggest bunch of BS ever hoisted on the public, they teach this psuedo-science in public schools.

This needs to be countered in a HUGE way or we're going to see the Kyoto treaty signed which will help destroy the economy.

I'm sure from the tone of your remarks, you already get this. But for the benefit of all the DU lurkers out there:

Because they are "special" and you are not. In our egalitarian society, some Orwellian Pigs are more equal than others. Oink, Oink! LOL.

He is a charter member of the Club of Rome. And it's his own resources we are burning up, if he can reacquire title.

The present demographic and geo-political trend continuing, Charles will live to become a Dhimmi, whereupon he will have something real to worry about.

I remember when he and Diana were expecting their first child, and all the tabloids were a twitter over what the Royal Whelp would be named. A friend of mine suggested that he should be named Up.

Naturally, I asked why.

She replied that then the Royal Family would be Up, Chuck, and Di.

No, he's a garden variety idiot, and thus ideal for the Liberal party.
