Entry: Diana Deserves Better Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/diana_deserves_better#4288 Post contents: Teachem, Have you read what Greer wrote to judge? You ignore the truth if the mouth it comes from is not to your liking? The Spencers were courtiers; Diana was not a 'lamb to the slaughter. As Bishop Chartres movingly said, there is darkness and light in every soul. But the dissension she has sown still remains. And you admire Miss Teen South Carolina and the bubble headed Fox News anchors, not people of accomplishment. People like a lot of wrong things; people become mobs, that doesn't make the choices 'right' Your DNA is the same in your hand as in your heart; 'materialsim' doesn't explain a great deal, another 'lie'. Read Rupert Sheldrake. And read Greer: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article2326662.ece EXCERPT: Lady Diana Spencer was not a princess in her own right, as have been most of the princesses of Wales, but an English aristocrat. Though the aristocracy is sometimes referred to as the nobility, there is very little that is noble about it. In England it cannot be said that “noblesse oblige”. English aristocrats are usually poorly educated, vulgar and ostentatious in their tastes, and extravagant and licentious in their personal behaviour. Diana grew up in the company of louche young lordlings and ladies, one of the most flamboyant of whom was her elder sister, Lady Sarah Spencer, the original flame-haired temptress. Diana was chosen precisely because she was shy and backward. Though Diana pretended to have been an innocent at court, describing herself as a lamb being led to slaughter, her family were courtiers, thoroughly versed in the ways of the Firm, as the royals like to refer to themselves.
