[royalty] Prince Charles: ‘What is wrong with people nowadays? Why do they all seem to think they are qualified to do things far above their capabilities? This is all to do with the learning culture in schools. It is a consequence of a child-centred education system which tells people they can become pop stars, high court judges or brilliant TV presenters or infinitely more competent heads of state without ever putting in the necessary work or having the natural ability. It is a result of social utopianism which believes humanity can be genetically engineered to contradict the lessons of history.’

It does have a certain rolling grandeur doesn’t it – at least we are assured of an erudite King if he ever gets the chance.
cheers, mog.
“infinitely more competent heads of state without ever putting in the necessary work or having the natural ability”
The irony of this statement has had me smiling all day.
Please look at the original article, the CARTOON that is.
LX, it’s an actual quote, despite the link to a cartoon. Check Google News.
“We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives. We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact. And we’re very, very pissed off”
Doesn’t anybody get it? Prince Charles really is Tyler Durden …
