Well, another huge distraction from the economy and the war in Afganistan - Prince William is getting married! Now, for the rest of my life, there will be news flashes at the checkout counters, covers of Kate for eternity, an industry arising to analyze her every move and look. It wasn't just Princess Diana who was hounded, so were we all. And it's a teensy tiny bit difficult to be happy for her. Him, maybe, he's got an ally and a female presence he has been missing. But her? What a deadly life! It's like life in prison without parole.
Oh, well, there are benefits, if one likes attention and expensive babbles. I don't, so I can't see the sunny side.
And she will never be able to do what Greta Garbo did, just leave it all. They would hunt her down. It's a different era now, with no pretense at respecting privacy. We're all over exposed, and have no secrets. Not protecting each other leads to an inability to protect ourselves. We are in a culture that does not teach us we have a right to say no. Invasion of the body snatchers has already happened, but just as in the movies, nobody has noticed, and nobody can fight it.
