So...who ELSE thinks the Royal Wedding thing makes an even better case for abolishing monarchy?
   
In the UK, obviously, but, everywhere else as well.

Isn't this really a sign that we're WAAAAAAYYYYY the hell past the time when the world still needs kings 'n queens 'n stuff?

But of course these pampered purebreds earn their money the hard way... sucking an extravagant living off the public teat.
   

Yet when Americans suck off the public teat, you want to give them even more.

Uh huh.

I still remember that famous news headline about one of the Big Zero's and Shelley-0's cruises, "Not since the days of the ancient pharaohs...."

Well, at least while britain's free loaders bring in tourist dollars.  Everyone wants to see Buckingham Palace.  The projects?  Not so much.

Yeah, nothing works like replacing the clear arbitrary decisions of one individual with the vague arbitrary decisions of an unaccountable committee.

Well Like we have told the Dummies before from other countries,You don't vote here then you have no say in how it's run. Same thing applies to DUmmies here that bitch about how other countries have been run differently. You don't live there so STFU.

What the British choose to do with their country is theirs alone to decide.

Indeed it is, and they seem to be doing just fine with the system they have.  Aside from their insane nanny-state laws, which are entirely due to the hi-jinx of Labour in the Commons and inbreeding combined with the benefits of a Left-wing education in Lords, neither one the fault of the Royalty.
