In 1992, Marvin Simkin wrote in Los Angeles Times, Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote

The *only* thing I remember about the royal wedding stuff was the hats that I saw briefly while channel surfing. LOL. I was told some of the hats are called "fascinators". I think people waste far too much time and $ on fancy weddings. I say save the $ for something useful.

They should have the opportunity to be miserable like the rest of us.

I don't get the big deal about weddings or royal families or any of that junk.
It's like, someone was born into an inbred family. Let's stalk them, stalk their children, and play armchair psychologists to every aspect of their lives. Although, in the UK there are laws protecting celebrity children-- they are not supposed to be photographed without permission and so forth.

LOL. Around here, you'd be lucky to see your doctor within an hour of your appointment time. Although, at the VA, the wait time is something like 3 hours. Fortunately here they don't charge if you miss the appointment.

The couple from the "Fixer Uppers" TV show were fined $40,000 for 33 violations of lead paint removal. It would have cost a real contractor that much for one house.

Didn't even dent their wallet.

I guess I'll just have to keep guessing if my replies load up.
I clicked and loaded my comment and the top of the page showed it was doing so, but the page never shifted back.
I just took a shower and noticed the page still hadn't moved so I clicked on my comment a second time............ well this time it shifted back to this page and now I have a dupe post.
