    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.  <br>
    <br>
    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.<br>

      sake of birth alone.  If you haven't figured out by now, we still
      live in a class based society and here in America that notion is
      very alive.  We can have an idiot like trump get on national TV
      and ask our president to present his birth certificate to all. 
      What a racist!  Frankly I'm tired of the crap that is going on and
      felt the need to speak out about this.  My hope is that some day
      we wont need monarchs, we wont need class elites to run our world
      and we can live closer to the Earth and respect one another for

          It's interesting that the author regularly brings up the idea
