He probably fears that an educated woman can call his bluff and would want him to stick to what he said and not just say it because it sounds good. Before his speech in July I must say that I was mainly amused about PA and his lifestyle. I didn't take him seriously, though I thought he might have the potential to do better then his dad in regards of environment and social matters. Then he gave his speech and I thought: wow, this guy has been picking my brain all those years, he's going to be good. Well, it's not even been a year and it seems as though both our enthusiasm has left us. We have seen a few changes (which he might have initiated but others have the responsibility to carry through), but when it comes to major issues we are still waiting.Laviollette said:Great points especially about the "lack of intellectual curiousity." But doesn't PA know what will be the most suitable princess for MC? I hate to keep beating this into the ground, but it is his lack of responsibility that he refuses to involve women in his life who are intellectually curious. Those kinds of women don't seem to excite him the way swooning types who are less educated than he is seem to.
There have been several articles in the local paper about our incineration plant, which is a major poluter in this area. MC does not select its rubbish, because they need it to burn it in a substandard incineration plant (and it is still substandard after an investment of over a 100 mill Euro) and will be soon far from even admissible standards in Europe. Every weekend Fontvielle is poluted by disgusting odours (whether they are affecting peoples health in longterm we don't know yet, but I guess MC just takes the risk). The plant will not be closed until 2020 since they have made such a big investment.
PA said that MC should be an example to others. Where is the example here? Shouldn't he, if he was truely convicted of what he says, make the decision to immediately close the plant? inspite of the financial losses? Wouldn't that be giving an example and show people that our environment is worth more then any money? (besides MC should be rich enough to handle the losses, and who made the decision to invest money into a plant that the already knew they could under no circumstances get on standard. And even financially it doesn't make sense anymore to run it since all surrounding French communities have tri-select and thus they don't even get the money for the tons they used to take from France. Where was a gutsy decision here?) And how about alternative energy? I don't see anything here. No use is made of the sun or the wind. In Monaco gas stations I have not seen alternative fuel, just regular. So he thinks he can set off on a couple of sleighs to draw attention to global warming? He is doing this for his own amusement more then anything. If he was interested in the environment, he would be doing sth about it right here under our noses. ( well, we can't say his, since he hasn't been here much this year, has he?)
Also, he managed to liberate himself for the Olympics from his MC obligations, but where was he during the paralympics? Don't they deserve the support of a high profile IOC member? Those people are not only remarkable athletes, but they also have to achieve what they are doing under far less favorable conditions then all those other athletes, CW among them.
All in all I can only say that he is disappointing me and his CW thing (lasting or not) is just adding to it. There is nothing wrong with having a GF and enjoying yourself, but his priority should be to get his job done and not parading through the world with yet another bimbo.
So far what ever is written about her is all speculation. She might be disappearing rather quickly again. Others have done so before. So until PA makes an announcement I wouldn't even bother discussing her.
PS apparently he actually did manage to show up briefly at the paralympics after all, but in comparison to his presence before, I find it rather disappointing.
