Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill.

LOL! Reminds me of Constable Dogberry’s lines from Much Ado About Nothing.
Something to the effect, “ Be it written that I to, am an ass!"

Oh, but I am! (just with class apparently  )

I don't know much about him,
Many of the comments here are news to me.
I do know it is in poor taste to speak ill of the dead.
So I will say
Rest in peace
And leave it at that.

I don’t wish to think Prince Philip would have gone all Banastre Tarelton on us. I believe he was probably a pretty nice guy.

I really don't think I ever heard him speak.
He seemed ok to me and 99 is a great run.

From what I know of him he seemed to be a real alpha man's man who was placed in a supporting role - by his choice - and did his duty in that role to the best of his ability. Definitely lead an interesting and long life and I guess that's about as much as anyone can hope for.

It's amazing that in the year 2021, people look up to other humans as "royalty." That family is worth $88 billion due to centuries of exploiting the peasants...

In the old days, if you questioned the royal family, they lopped off your head.

Just heard it. He was 99, and died of a broken heart because Markle called him a racist. Well, that's what the American media thinks. You’re gay.

OK Jorge, I thought I was making a lighted hearted comment about the wealth of the royals. In that case you would be 100% correct. I just grow weary of the classless here.. Apologies. Yes, an unsophisticated bunch. Bunch of rabble....really. Eh old man?
I am MAGA.

My wife's father left his job as a coal miner in Yorkshire due to lack of opportunity for those born to a lower "class". He died here a wealthy man of dignity and a pretty classy guy.
In America your rep is earned not inherited. The royals are a parasitic tourist attraction.

The man had no choice about his lineage and circumstances of birth. He studied and learned, took responsibility, served well in the armed forces of his country during deadly wartime, courted and married a girl he apparently loved very much, and for more than 70 years performed loyally as a husband and in the very public supporting role. Which part should one not like? May the good man rest in peace. I feel sorry for his wife.

mike r Yep. There’s no class distinction in America. No favoritism. No elites. Equal justice for all. Everyone is treated the same. Really nice story, though.
