There should be little surprise at the position of the English Gentry. Richard Pipes noted in “The Russian Revolution 1899-1919″ (p364) that whereas the Russian gentry accounted for only 1.7% of the population they accounted for 22% of the Bolshevik party.

People have been calling for us to “reconnect” with Nature for decades and decades. So far nobody has been able to demonstrate what such a fully fledged connection would look like. Lots of hippies have “felt the grass between their toes”, but that’s as far as it goes. At some point you have to eat, build shelter, earn a living, and suddenly you’re back to the real world.

People who desire a connection can simply take up meditation and they can get a satori that gives their consciousness a direct connection to the absolute, and at that point they are connected to everything. You need not recycle a single plastic bottle.

Now, the next problem is how do you somehow make the world a better place materially so that we all progress forward and our children can lead better lives? Factories and chemicals and big business are not going to go away, apparently the royal family is not going away either. These are simply structures of our human systems and even bees have to do a day’s work for the colony.

So this is why the greens always TALK about going back to nature but never come up with any real system for doing it, which invariably leaves them with only one option which is to have NO system, to dismantle, to go back, to pull apart, and simply stop whatever systems we have. So “back to nature” ends up as “back to 10,000BC”. That’s like solving the problem of how to get a man on the moon by teaching everyone that the moon does not exist. Many greenies actually believe that there is no such thing as “progress”. So they deconstruct everything back to some sort of undefined original pure state of “balance”. Again, words, but no concrete demonstrable solutions.

I really hope this green sub-culture dies out soon as the damage to rational thinking is just quite a worry.

Charles is a hypocrite just like Al Gore.

And just for the record he is not just “the future king of England” but in fact the whole of the UK.

Mark, your criticism is fair, and others have pointed it out to us too. Our excuses are: being terribly short on time recently, owing to job changes and exams. We hope to be back on form within a week or so.

However, the point remains that there are some serious problems with Charles’ interventions on the climate issue, and the question about whose interests his brand of environmentalism and anti-capitalism serve also remain.

Snide and largely ad hom. Not up to your usual standards.

Like you, I have come to the conclusion that Global Alarmism has nothing to do with science, and everything to do with class warfare and the desire of the giant landowners to keep the game as it is…or was.

As a subject of one Her Maj’s loyal Dominions [OZ] can I say that we will put up with just about anything that Her Maj wishes to do, but the minute that idiot son of hers [or any of her relo's] gets anywhere near the throne, thats the end of a constitutional monarchy in this loyal dominion.

Unfortunately for you Brits, you bred him, so you’re stuck with him, but the minute that good old Betty croaks it, we are out of the Monarchy.

Until then, best wishes cousins – but you are surely going down the drain if you let that nincompoop anywhere near the throne.

Prince Charles is not averse to big business of course when its his own Duchy products. Reports recently (June 2008) state that:

“The new chief executive of the Prince of Wales’s agricultural business is in upbeat mood. He has recently announced plans to launch Duchy Originals in America and India as part of a five-year plan to quadruple annual turnover from £50m to £200m.”

Hardly small fry in the world of business. Green is good when its your own pockets you are filling up.

The British people have been sustaining His Royal Ancestors for 900 years, with a brief interregnum of 40 years, when his first namesake, Charles I, also had a hankering for the old, lost, natural harmony of absolute monarchy

Ah, in the days of yore, when serfs knew their place and Le Droit de Seigneur was actively pursued.
