Dark and terrible? Never spent any time under Islamic rule then.

Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

You're right. I'm sorry. Let us all gaze at the wonder and majesty of a nine year old being forced in to an arranged marriage as the third wife of a 45 year old man.
I am wet with envy.

The only thing a wedding needs to be really awesome is an open bar with top shelf liquor. People expect the food to suck, so sucky food will never be below expectations. While the centerpieces and decor might get a few comments about how nice they are, they will never compensate for a cash bar or one that turns into a cash bar at an early hour. And, if the centerpieces and decor are poor, as long as people have a good time they'll remember the wedding fondly.

We had plenty of alcohol. Before the wedding, lunch was a cookout at our house. Afterwards, we went to a local Mexican restaurant for some more good food and Margaritas. We didn't decorate at all. The whole plan for the weekend was for everyone to have fun! I've seen too many weddings where everyone was miserable because the bride (and it is usually the bride) was so hung up on everything being absolutely perfect on 'her big day.' We knew perfect wasn't in the cards. Really, in a few years, do these women actually think people are going to remember that the flowers and napkins weren't both the exact same shade of pink or that the bridesmaids were wearing different shades of lipstick?

Why specifically the "American" wedding? Are ours more dark and terrible than the rest?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
