    Good start.

    The rich (and those licking their boots, even in these comments) would be well served to remember where the phrase “eat the rich” originates, and what the French (as should we all) do to those in power when they refuse to give up that power voluntarily.

      You can go ahead and at least put the full quote, because I just love it so much.

      “When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.”

      Do you remember how all of their revolutions ended up? My personal favourite is the one that led to Napoleon.
