Alright, HOLD IT.
Let me just clarify the hype surrounding this Royal Wedding.
First of all, most people just like to complain about things - It's just how people are.
People like to put things down, hate things, or talk about how 'useless' things are. I guess this makes them feel better? I don't know exactly.
Anyway, the fact that the future King of England is getting married doesn't really affect the rest of the world. You could even say that it doesn't really do much for the UK, either. The Monarchy hasn't had a whole lot of 'power' in quite a few years, so it's really just a 'feel-good' thing. Why is that wrong? Do we have a lot of things going on right now that make people 'feel good'? Or anything in the last decade or so??
Let's see.
The Columbine High School Massacre - 1999
The September 11th Terrorist Attacks - 2001
SARS 'pandemic' - 2002-2003
Hurricane Ivan - 2004
Hurricane Katrina - 2005
The Great Recession - 2007-Current
H1N1 Flu Pandemic - 2009
Haiti Earthquake - 2010
Japan Earthquake - 2011
I didn't even include all of the issues in Iraq - The war, the casualties, the horror.
Amongst all of this negativity, why can't we be happy for something that our children will be learning about in school? They'll come up to us one day and say
"Wow, you watched King William and Kate get married? You're, like, ancient!"
Why would you want to take that from them??
