last week i spent the most pleasant day just watching the french revolution documentary on the history channel. not exactly the most scholarly piece of work but it brought up pleasant memories of the marie antoinette and louis XVI, as well as the october days and robespierre. tonight gabe came over and we talked about the revolutions nuances- the abolition of christianity and the christian calendar, the declaration of the rights of man, and how for fives years after the revolution france was a black hole with no leadership. it simply was a delicious night. the way to my heart- talking about political upheaval.
