14 Jul 06 - 10:40 AM (#1783412) Subject: BS: Le Quatorze Juillet From: John MacKenzie Today as we all know [don't we?] is the anniversary of the storming of the Bastille in Paris on this date in 1789. Now if you were to storm somewhere as a part of a revolution, where would you storm, and why? Giok |

CarolC, I now have visions of a band of well nourished and over-clean "sans culottes" (nice neat, cartoon like patches on the clothing, of course) parading around the burning wreckage of the Magic Kingdom, with the head of a certain rodent impaled on a pike.

Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib (and other prisons in Iraq), the secret prisons the CIA operates in Europe and elsewhere, people serving in "for profit" prisons in the US for possession of marijuana... |

It is the song of angry men; It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums, There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! (Oops, wrong French revolution...but I think I'll put my Les Miz Complete Symphonic Recording on really loud and sing along while I clean the house today. It's the most Bastille Day-esque music I've got. ;) Molly |
