Amen to that, Matt.
I find my faith in humanity dies a little bit more every time I turn on the telly.

I've stopped going to television for news. I think they stopped providing news about 10 years ago or so. I've been getting my news from a few sources on the radio and Internet for quite a while. It's sad...I read a newspaper daily for years ever since high school, but most newspapers, it seems, have been cutting back so much that they're barely qualified to continue to call themselves journalists.

I agree, Matt. We shut off the cable about a year ago and the only thing I really miss is . . . well, I don't miss it at all.
I do confess to watching the highlights of the wedding online today though .

I thought it was refreshing to have some happy news for a change.

Couldn't agree more Matt, I rarely watch TV nowadays.

I am certainly not a Monarchist being born and brought up in Scotland but I do admit I do like the pomp of such occasions. We do it so well in the UK and very few other countries have the traditions and the history.
It must be of interest as the event was broadcast to over 180 countries with an expected audience of 2 billion people.

I don't follow the logic. How does being born and raised in Scotland automatically make one a republican? They are the royal family of Great Britain.
That said, I did note a conspicuous lack of anything remotely Scottish associated with the wedding. The Duke of Kent in the uniform of a Colonel in Chief of the Scots Guards notwithstanding. Not that I expect wall to wall bagpipes and kilts, as thats not all there is to Scotland and only represents one historic language/cultural group of Scotland, but in as much as the groom attended St. Andrew's and met his bride there, I expected a little something.
