Prince Charles: Indian Slum a Role Model For Western Cities
The man who would be slumdog?
(News.com.au) –BRITAIN’S Prince Charles has cited the Mumbai shantytown setting for the film “Slumdog Millionaire” as a role model for sustainable living in Western cities, a report said Saturday.The 61-year-old heir to the British throne writes in a new book being published next week that the Dharavi slum is better and more instinctively organised than many Western towns, London’s Daily Telegraph said.In the book, called Harmony, Prince Charles contrasts the “fragmented, deconstructed” housing estates of Western nations with the “order and harmony” of the dusty potters’ colony featured in the Oscar-winning movie.

Prince Charles always struck me as somehow "inbred". He hasn't made a lick of sense since he began talking (as a young child) and I don't expect that will change anytime soon. I hear that the heir and the spare (I forget their names) are squared away boys. They have the Spencer bloodline to thank for that.
If it was the mid 1700's, Charles -- would be the same as George III and would loose the Americas.
LL,
Are you English? It seems like you pay attention to this stuff.

WTH???
In Prince Charles we see the negative effects of inbreeding. Just look at him! Sheesh.
I thoroughly hate these mega-rich bastards that think it's OK for us to live in squalor but they get to enjoy luxury on every hand.
I don't hate rich people because they are rich, just the ones w/the holier-than-thou my-$#!T-doesn't-stink attitudes.
I'm with you on that.

OK Pasto,,, you really had me laughing.
At least Marie (tho a tad misquoted) has a certain panache lacking in the current royal ass to mouth leadership
