Leave Prince Harry Alone

Britain's Prince Harry is the object of much media attention these days because of a video that shows him making reference to "our little Paki friend", telling a soldier he looks like a "raghead" and other horseplay that the PC Police have determined is racist or homophobic.

Do we really have nothing better to worry about? These are the common vulgarities of a bored soldier goofing off. True, they are not high-minded, but they are the kinds of things people say in private. It's not worth getting so hot and bothered about.

Cut the guy some slack. If he were not a member of the royal family, nobody would have known about it. Harry did not pursue his royalty. He had no choice in the matter, and probably would rather it weren't so. Of course he does get many privileges, including financial wealth, from his position. But some people are reacting as if he had raped or murdered someone. He didn't.

Come on, people. There are real villains in the world and much more important things that require the attention of the media.
