I was still recovering from a serious overdose of royals when I learned that the Prince of Wales was in Washington, DC this week to promote sustainable farming. Back in the UK, the Daily Mail charged Prince Charles with secretly lobbying ministers for homeopathic medicines on the NHS. The NHS spends millions of pounds each year on alternative medicine at a time when its restricting proven lifesaving drugs for those with cancer. The most popular cold medication in the world is Oscillococcinum; the active ingredient is Anas Barbariae Hepatis et Cordis Extractum (extract of liver and heart of the Barbary duck) 200CK HPUS. The 200CK means the solution has been diluted 1 part in 100, shaken, and repeated sequentially 200 times. HPUS means the medication is listed in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States, and prepared according to 1938 federal guidelines. That the ignorant and antiquated law sanctioning homeopathy is still on the books is a national disgrace. The dilution is totally meaningless; somewhere around number 30 of the 200 sequential dilutions, the dilution limit will be reached. That is, not a single molecule of the so- called "active ingredient" remains. Millions of people all over the world reach for this non-medicine every time they sneeze. The French company, Boiron, that makes Oscillococcinum should be locked and its officers put on trial. In terms of "sustainability," all this makes perfect sense. The world will not run out of Oscillococcinum. |
He kind of got the job by default.
AntwortenLöschenHe has been at a loose end ever since he left the military. So he made up his time pissing off architects, wives (he was ESPECIALLY good at this one!) and making piles of money out of his Cornish estate.
But when the Queen dies, this adultering divorcee automatically comes head of the Church of England. Now what does that say for the state of Marriage! hahahahaha!
Hmmm, he's still not quite as bad as the monarch that founded the Church of England in the first place. Not only did he divorce wives, he beheaded a couple and gave the rest of them syphilis I believe. LOL.
AntwortenLöschenHmm beheading wives would sure save on alimony!

AntwortenLöschenAmazing role model! The morals of a sewer rat who apparently cheated on his wife from day one.
AntwortenLöschenSheesh!
Considering who wrote this.......
AntwortenLöschenHahahahaha! Mate of yours, is he, Rattie?
No cheating! All legal. He was surely following his father's steps. His father used to have an "imam" in his company at all times. That way, he could divorce a wife and marry another on the stop as desired. According to "Islamic Law", a man can divorce his wife by citing three times "I divorce you" and the cleric (imam) act as a "notary". And then the cleric would on the spot marry him to the new woman...
AntwortenLöschenHence, it all would be "According to Sharia"
Of course, all that hoopla is "Cheating God", because it is violating the spirit of marriage in Islam.
That same "technique" was(is?) also used in Iran, where the visitors to a whorehouse (yes, they are there!) would be married upon entry to a "girl" of his choice, and before leaving, he would divorce her at the presence of an Imam.
The "procedure" may be different, but the bottom line is not different than anywhere else in the world:
If you got the dough, you will have it your way.
What happens if some fat bloke dies of a heart attack before he gets a chance to divorce his chosen prostitute? I guess she'd inherit?
AntwortenLöschenThat means you have a whorehouse where the whores have a vested interest in making you collapse and die.
It is a strange world. ;)
