" Pity Party Prince Harry" and manipulative " Miss Meghan Markle "  may well be the most narcissistic couple on the planet: endlessly self-absorbed, utterly oblivious to others’ feelings, and blaming everyone but themselves for all their “troubles.”

And precisely what “injustices” do the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have to gripe about? Of the world’s eight billion folks, Meghan and Harry are easily among the richest one-tenth of one percent, two of the few thousand royals, as well as young, beautiful, and (physically at least) healthy to boot.

Perhaps their real problem is that they are typical well-heeled leftists: incredibly entitled, dangerously bored, cynically secular, and desperately in search of meaning. If they were not such fine-looking celebrities, who would give them a second look?

 As children, we constantly asked that most annoying of all questions: WHY?  The most patient of parents would eventually close the session down with the statement " Because I said so. " 

And that was an end to it. And that is what our governments have done with Vaccines, with transgender issues; with racial division and with just about every issue we face today. 

When we ask " Why "  the politicians and bureaucrats simply said " Because we told you so. " 

That is the crux of the issue.  And I, for one, am bloody sick of it. 

The introduction of Eddie to his new home would have to wait, as I had to get to Sydney on business, three hours behind the wheel.

And so we went, Eddie comfortably settled on the passenger seat, grinning at me—probably thinking—“sucker.”
