New pope? Show me some smoke.
Monarch dead? Show me the crowds.
Insurrection on certification day? Show me the prison sentences.
But seriously, agree that it has worldwide significance to @Gordi and his point. But also agree that there are other priorities for 99% of the living and breathing population.
We are polar opposites on this one.
I can't stand pageantry or crowds. I even hate dressing up.
I guess I have been a tomboy all my life. Just give me a T-shirt and a pair of jeans, and I am good.
Oh I certainly hate crowds. It's more tradition for me than pageantry, probably not a good way of putting it. But in order for me to enjoy new popes and monarchs, death needs to strike first.
