Prince Charles Blames the End of the World on Capitalism & Consumerism (Royal Company Excluded, Of Course)

"Capitalism and consumerism have brought the world to the brink of economic and environmental collapse, the Prince of Wales has warned. . . . And in a searing indictment on capitalist society, Charles said we can no longer afford consumerism and that the ‘age of convenience’ was over." (The Independent)

And, as Mark Steyn remarks, "He then got in his limo and was driven to his other palace."
