#4 To paraphrase the Perfesser, I'll believe consumerism is a crisis when the people who say it is a crisis start behaving in their personal lives as if it is a crisis.

#7 I'm sure Prince Charles will set an example by closing down all his Estates and Castles and turning them into bird sanctuaries. He will then move to a flat on the East End of London.

The only way he could draw tourist is with his head on a pike outside the Tower.

Inbreeding!

#8 Sure, Princey. Tell me all about the evils of "materialism"....

Taxpayers funded the work of the Prince of Wales to the tune of £3m last year - an annual rise of almost a quarter, according to Clarence House accounts.

A 48% rise in spending on air and rail travel, which grew to £1.71m, accounted for much of the hike in official costs. He travelled more than 50,000 miles to attend 658 official engagements during his 60th birthday year.

Charles's private income increased by just 1% to £16.4m during the last financial year.

He also paid less tax, with his bill falling almost 10% from more than £3.4m to just under £3.1m.

The prince's non-official expenditure fell by 23% to £1.7m, with the drop being attributed in part to his decision to holiday in the UK last year.

#11 The Prince, who is advised by the leading environmentalists Jonathon Porritt and Tony Juniper

At the risk of coming across as a conspiracy nut, do not I repeat DO NOT - dismiss these people simply lunatic dirt worshipers. Climate change is the motivation, Cap and Trade schemes are the means, and a Marxist/Fascist model is their endgame. Make no mistake; Free Market capitalism is antithetical to their ideology. Jonathon Porritt has long encouraged his fellow Enviro-activists to adopt an Alinsky model towards capitalism. He advocates for the soft landing of capitalism rather then direct confrontation with the prevailing economic system. Now that people with wealth and influence, such as Prince Charles, are openly denouncing capitalism it may signal a new chapter in their quest for control.

"We've wasted the best part of 20 years pursuing to the point of utter exhaustion a model of capitalism that can only succeed by liquidating the life-support systems that sustain us, and systematically widening the 'inequity gaps' upon which any kind of social cohesion depends in the long run."
Jonathon Porritt

#16 Pray for Her Majesty's health, even if you're an atheist and a (British) republican, at least long enough for Charlie to step aside in favor of his son William.
