(42,279 posts)I think you'll find a major source of the stupid in the family. I tend to think she's done the best she could given her circumstances (But no one should be in those circumstances; I'm anti-monarch--except for butterflies!)
Thanks for the toons!

(6,846 posts)I might add when we criticize royals it might be better to stick to their actual failings, not sraw men.
They actually work and often quite hard. the work they do is generally done elsewhere by NGOs and maybe it should be ... but they are not totally idle. Anyone old enough in Britain will likely tell you that Diana not only worked hard with children's charities, but worked herself to exhaustion. And I've never liked Charles - but he does work with preserving heritage sites, and Antiques Roadshow UK likes that.

(14,118 posts)As I think about reading Dr. Seuss as a kid I come to the conclusions that first, it was
entertaining. Second, it introduced me/us to the use of language and illustration. Third,
it introduced and reinforced certain ethical and moral principles. These are all useful
things for people of any age to learn!

(12,421 posts)Because the books were targeted to a specific age range, the publisher restricted Geisel to a very limited list of words that could be used for that age range, often much less than 100. But the publisher had no problem with him inventing words, so to meet the demands of a writing lot of rhyme with easy flowing meter and still make the story interesting, Geisel invented words, many of which can be found in common usage today.
