We watched the coronation on Saturday morning for about one hour, enough to see Charles and his wife playing Halloween in the early part of May.
There's no question that the regal ceremony reminds us on how ill-gotten, large inheritance and birthplace influence people’s destiny. If Charles’ birthplace had been Mumbai and his parents were Untouchables, the cards would have been dealt drastically differently.What’s equally shocking is the $125 million price tag the British taxpayers will have to fork up for that lavish party. Too bad Charles didn’t remember to pay it with his own money (then, if would have been way more subdued)!
To top it all off, 52 arrests of anti-monarchists were made for a variety of reasons, which says a lot about free speech rights under the freshly minted Charles III.
As to what to make for the 62 percent of Brits who still support monarchy, almost 50 percent of American supported Trump too, during two elections, which tends to show that, on average, half the population of every country is made of ignorant or imbeciles….
