A Harmonious Hole

Why does the word "twit" suddenly come to mind? (Tip to Mad Minerva)

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.  ...

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.

"We have a great deal to learn about how complex systems can self-organise to create a harmonious whole," he said.

Wow. The grandeur of poverty!

Sustainable cluelessness, is what he has. When the man is living in Buckingham Refrigerator Box, I'll take him seriously.

The man has a great deal to learn. Full stop.
