ROYAL WEDDING NONSENSE

What's wrong with this picture? (The correct answer is: "Everything")

The plight of millions has been trumped again. This time by a pair of filthy-rich kids getting married.

A Royal Wedding. Media hoopla. Incredible cost to the public purse.

Are we so spiritually impoverished that we somehow need to be "a part" of this? I really don't believe so.

We don't need royal families. Personally, I'm quite convinced we don't need presidents since they do virtually nothing good and plenty that is bad. Many thousands of people die around the globe every day due to poverty related problems and the media feeds us stories about the stratospheric cost of a wedding dress. This is insanity.

Rich people wasting money is not news that we need. I say, abolish all royal families. Throw out all figureheads. Don't worship plastic prophets. These people are not our friends. They don't have our best interests at heart.

I believe most people no longer buy into all this garbage. But if you turned on your TV or looked at a news story on the Internet or in a newspaper this past week, you'd be led to think otherwise. This is the Idiot Culture at work and it's a drug we can't afford, don't need, must kick.

If you need to celebrate something, celebrate your life, your potential, your kids. Celebrate YOUR royal family. Celebrate the opportunity to make this a better world.

Let's focus on what's real and important and not let the mass media spoon-feed us distractions as the climate goes to hell and children starve.

We are better than that.

Take care,
Adrian
FOOTNOTE: In reading the comments threads about the royal wedding on various news sites, it seems the main theme of the "pro" comments is "Boo to the cynics. Thank goodness for a positive news story." This is so very sad. The fact is there are many positive things that the media could report that would be more meaningful to the masses. This isn't a choice between positive and negative. It's a choice between meaningful and absurd, and absurd won again.
