[Cro Dreoilin] An interesting article

[Donna Miller]

I am American.  I pointedly avoided the Royal Wedding.  I don't get it.  
I don't get why there is a big todo about royal people getting hitched.  
I also never gave a damn about whether this actress married that actor 
or how many babies they had.

Stop paying so much attention to them.  It only encourages them and 
encourages TV sponsors to put more boring things on TV and nothing to 
stimulate the mind.
