The Royal Wedding: hard to find anything more insulting to the "common man." Poo poo Rumi, such a downer. Just pageantry and tradition, mere pomp and circumstance. No harm intended. Celebrating history. Just a visit to the illustrious past.

What history? Dictatorial rule, persecutions, oppression, classism, religious attacks and so much more rich ugly rule. Letting the Irish die in the millions in the 19th Century, twice. God bless the queen.

Am I overreacting? How about imperialistic colonialism using and abusing whole nations of people for Profit by the home country? No matter, it's in the past. Look at that dress on Meghan!

Rumi, are you just a h**er extraordinaire. Is there anything you like? Get a freaking life.

The British rule of a king is what we rebelled against in 1776, the whole notion, nuance, and extent of such a despotic rule. A threshold obviously came when they saw something radically different than the world had ever seen was necessary. God's grace. What was wrong when the Jews asked God for a king, putting a political force between them and their father, which the father reluctantly agreed to, was still wrong more than 5000 years later.

When we honor ine******y it subconsciously undermines our drive for freedom.

Let’s see, he rips our loyal allies a new one including insulting Canada’s PM, then cuddles with a known murderous fratricidal dictator that overseas the abuse, rape and execution of thousands of his own people in Korean Gulags, even calling him “honorable” in order to score a diplomatic c**p. If this initiative is successful, (and in spite of my antipathy for Trumps distasteful personality) I will give him credit where it is due. Remember though that Nixon went to China under similar circumstances and look how that ended up.
I’m sure we all wish for the best outcome regardless of who is in the White House but history has a way of using fools to achieve useful ends when nothing else seems to work, a risky proposition at best and a potential disaster at worst.
