The Royal Wedding: The Art of Showmanship & Illusion

For those of you who didn't know, Prince William of Britain got married yesterday to his long term girlfriend; Kate Middleton. Thank goodness I didn't waste a whole day watching the great show that was put on for this occassion. That's right, a show, not a wedding. The white man for centuries has proven himself to be the grandmaster king of grandiosity, hypocrisy, illusion and showmanship. This was simply another great show, from the originators of this type of great showmanship; The British Royal Family. Instead of using the proceeds of colonisation and slavery for such grandiosity as they have done in previous centuries, this time they decided to use the proceeds of taxation instead. As if a wedding day has anything to do with a real marriage. If they end up divorcing each other in 5-10 years time, what the hell would this wedding day have meant? The show means absolutely nothing in the context of a real marriage. A marriage is based on how long the integrity, goals and principles of two individuals stay in alignment with one another. That's it! And how long two individuals can tolerate each other's bad habits. When Prince William and Kate Middleton start living together and she has to deal with the fact that he doesn't like to clean up after himself, she will soon begin to understand what a real marriage involves. Getting married is not a fairytale but the Royal Wedding has now provided all women with this illusion that a marriage is all about having a horse and carriage on your wedding day. They have provided us with an illusion versus the real reality of a day to day marriage. I just feel sorry for anyone who is planning on getting married to a materialistic woman within the next year. How could any man possibly compete with this showpiece of grandiosity, materialism and illusion.
