    Every movement comes from somewhere. This serious historically accurate reenactment explains it all perfectly.

    By coincidence, I’m reading Age of the French Revolution, Vol. I: Twilight of the Old Order 1774-1778, by Claude Manceron. Mesmerizing, highly recommended.

    Fun fact: around the time of the French Revolution tomatoes were considered poisonous and were called “poison apples”.

    So, it’s a good thing you threw those tomatoes at the Bastille, Arlo.

    Funny how a populist movement to remove elites from power is only truly celebrated several hundred years later.

    Since it is also International Nude Day should not Arlo have gone forth in the buff to toss his tomatoes?

    Let them eat cake…or…“It was the best of times, it was the worse of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us…”That is all I can remember from the top of my head. The last time I read that book was when Clinton became president.

    In that era, this would make Arlo an early adopter of both the tomato and the sandwich.

    Just work twice as hard, twelve hours a day, and you can afford a slice of bread.

    Should have picked it earlier for a Fried Green Tomato! But you’d still need breadcrumbs.

    The Bastille prison in Paris is attacked by a mob demanding weapons and the release of political prisoners, signaling the start of the war.

    Not having bread to make a BLT with a fresh, still warm vine ripened July tomato definitely IS grounds for revolt.

    Since the subject is Bastille Day, there’s something I’ve been wondering about for some time, and perhaps someone could help enlighten me: Why is Bastille Day celebrated in Quebec? By 1789, Quebec hadn’t been part of France or a French possession in over 25 years. The events of the French Revolution should have had no significant effect on Quebec at all. It would be the same as if the United States celebrated Queen Victoria’s birthday.

    For that matter, New Orleans would be in the same boat. It was French before 1763, and again (briefly) after 1800, but it wasn’t in 1789. By the way, is Bastille Day celebrated in Haiti? Haiti was still a French possession in 1789!

    That whole French revolution didn’t work out well for anyone, except the Americans. French traded a king for several governments, ending in an emperor. Who totally screwed up Europe and got the flower of France slaughtered. The Brits burned DC. But, USA survived as most of their imperial army was engrossed dealing with Nappie.
