| HT DRUDGE Prince Charles: Climate Change Terrifying Oct 30 10:59 PM US/Eastern By MICHAEL McDONOUGH Associated Press Writer LONDON Prince Charles says he believes the pace of climate change is terrifying and people are becoming too dependent on technology. In a rare TV interview ahead of his official tour of the United States next week, Charles expressed concern that economic progress is "upsetting the whole balance of nature." I thought would-be kings were never scared. "You know, if you look at the latest figures on climate change and global warming ... they're terrifying, terrifying," Charles told CBS' "60 Minutes" in the interview aired Sunday. The prince is a keen environmentalist, but his office declined to say whether Charles will raise the issue of climate change when he dines with President Bush at the White House this week. Clarence House, the prince's office, said it would not be appropriate to comment on a private dinner. I guess the whit house chefs better be prepared to serve only "free-range" chicken or tofu. Chaz might be offended otherwise... In the past, Bush has questioned the existence of global warming. The United States has refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol designed to limit greenhouse gas emissions, saying it would harm the economy. "But I am the prince. You have to listen to what I say, after all you are only the colonies..." Charles, who will be visiting with his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, also said he was worried about the importance of technology in modern life. "If you make everything over efficient, you suck out, it seems to me, every last drop of what, up to now, has been known as culture," Charles said in the interview, which was recorded last month in Poundbury, England. Chaz wants to go back to dingy torchlit castles, chamber pots, and being called "Your worship" in a cockney accent... "We are not the technology. It should be our ... slave, the technology. But it's rapidly becoming our master in many areas, I think," he said. Charles will travel to the United States on Tuesday for his first official tour of the country since 1994, although he has made a number of private visits since then. He last visited the United States on June 11, 2004, for the funeral of former President Ronald Reagan. "I wish people liked me just like the way that they liked him. Honest, I AM a nice guy, even if the way I treated Diana sucked." During the tour, Charles and Camilla will inaugurate a new memorial garden in New York for the British victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on the World Trade Center. They will also travel to Washington for their lunch and dinner with President Bush and Mrs. Bush. During the final leg of the tour, Charles and Camilla will meet homeless people in San Francisco. Charles on the tenderloin - What a sight... Of course Britian has no homeless people {ahem}. He's coming here for the photo-op... In previously released excerpts of the CBS interview, Charles said he was concerned about being seen as irrelevant. "The most important thing is to be relevant ... It isn't easy, as you can imagine ... because if you say anything, people will say, 'It's all right for you to say that.' It's very easy to just dismiss anything I say. ... It's difficult," the heir to the British throne said. So, why are you sucking up to Islamists, and Eco-Moonbattery? You ARE irrelevant, it isn't a matter of "seems" anymore... Prez W & Larua Bush are being nice to you out of respect for your mother and elder son, the real heir to the throne.. Charles says his duty is "worrying about this country and its inhabitants." He adds: "I find myself born into this particular position. I am determined to make the most of it." Poking your nose into US politics. You are a true Eurocrat. Charles has won respect for the time he devotes to The Prince's Trust, which has helped more than 35,000 disadvantaged young people start their own businesses and provided job training to thousands more each year. He hopes efforts like these are valued, telling interviewer Steve Kroft lightheartedly: "I only hope that when I'm dead and gone, they might appreciate it a little bit more." How is he always lighthearted and joking at the end of these articles? He knows everyone is tired of his ugly face, and glad the interview is now over... |

| #6 We've been trying to do that with the Kennedys, too, but no luck. Mass is just too far gone. Sorry tu. Keep a full tank and a change of clothes in your car, bro. When you hear "Rather than selecting a nominee for the good of the nation and the court, President Bush has picked a nominee whom he hopes will stop the massive hemorrhaging of support on his right wing. This is a nomination based on weakness, not on strength.", haul ass - but not to Vermont, k? |

| #3 "I find myself born into this particular position. I am determined to make the most of it." Bugger of a job, bugger of a bloody job. Suspect he could find "poor people" in Manchester, if he cared to look. I believe he may be suffering from his own green house gases, at a minimum, too much time on the polo field and mucking around with horses. His selfless act of making Cam an honest woman has certainly saved an island of men an ugly fate. |
