Did Anyone Else Catch "The French Revolution" on THC?

Did it get you thinking?

1. Yes, last night, and yes.

Actually I thought of the maxim "those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it."

Waiting for the inevitable gallows humor...

2. Funny you should say that...

I told my son that very thing and used this present administration as an example!

10. There were at least two lessons derived from the French Revolution..

..one, the Administration could learn. The second one could be learned by some on this forum. Look what happened to France after the French Revolution crumbled.

3. You mean while high? Or just on (T)he (H)istory (C)hannel?

Because a phone book could get me thinking on THC.

5. Ha! Good one. n/t

4. yep. just commented to someone....

the French peasants starving while the Royalty parties on.... so disgusting.

6. Yes. The concentration of wealth in the US is causing a similar

tipping point, as Kevin Phillip's book "Wealth and Democracy" points out. Only a matter of time...

7. Just like watching the US.

the government against its own people.....they were killing about 800 French citizens per month?? and what’s up with the calendar??

8. Very interesting that Louis XVI hatred for the British sealed his doom

French support for American Revolution bankrupted the French treasury, which combined with poor crop harvests sealed the fate of the French monarchy.

9. Yes, I was unable to change the channel.

I have been thinking about it all day, too. How long before we are executed for not being enthusiastic *enough* about the party in power? :scared:

11. I watched it on Ecxtasy myself.

I'm out of weed.
