[net.politics] Monarchies today parse date string

bis (03/09/83)

I seem to be turning into an apologist for the British monarchy
here.  In an event, while starving the animals is reprehensible
behaviour, are we sure that this was the visiting royalty's idea?
It seems more likely that this scheme was thought up by some
sleazebag of an American protocol officer (or maybe it was the
zookeeper's idea).  Indeed, maybe this is standard procedure for
visiting dignitaries at zoos and we only heard about it this time
because it is very democratic to point out the cruelties inflicted
by royalty.
