<html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000'>That mammoth cost of the wedding is a drop in the bucket compared to the tax revenue generated by the event. Additionally, it was an event which united the people in a way that nothing else has been able to do for decades. It was a brilliant move as a future leader, and it bodes well for him as a king who will care for his land and his people. While this article was very much from a Wiccan standpoint, as has already been mentioned,I believe that the wedding was done in such a manner that reflects well on the royal couple making a very tasteful acknowledgement of their collective heritage.<div><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Sebastian" <jsburns@gmail.com><br>To: community@crodreoilin.org<br>Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2011 10:53:22 AM<br>Subject: Re: [Cro Dreoilin] An interesting article<br><br>It's interesting that the author regularly brings up the idea that the Prince is doing this to become a king of the kind that will ensure a bountiful land, but does not consider how far back the mammoth cost of the wedding is going to impact Britain for years to come.<br>

Probably making it up but perhaps at least taking some from the past. One can hope. I thought it was a really interesting article.<br>
