Prince Charles's black spider memos to be published on Wednesday

[zazen]

6. I'm glad he cares enough to be engaged and doesn't just rest in entitlement and wealth

I guess the royals ultimately have to limit their "policy work" to non-profit foundations where they bring visibility to certain issues, but at least he's not just enjoying all the wealth without even bothering to engage himself in improving the world (as he sees it, but still. . . . ). Here we have idiots like George W. Bush, given everything, who doesn't even open a book willingly or travel to Europe unless he has to.

And the voyeuristic obsession of people with that guy's private life (including these memos, which is more appetite for the same, since it's hardly some British constitutional crisis) is bizarre, but it's become so commonplace that it's not seen for the sick codependency it has become.

I applaud the guy for speaking out about GMO and climate change and marrying a woman his own age.
