First Dates is the Topic of the 14th Virtual Symposium
|
First Dates is the Topic of the 14th Virtual Symposium First Dates Is The Topic For The Fourteenth Virtual Symposium The topic of the Fourteenth Virtual Symposium is first dates. It might have been numerology. In that case I might have pointed out that at a time of showing solidarity with our oldest ally, France, that the Fourteenth of July this year was the two hundred and twenty sixth anniversary of the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789. It was a largely symbolic act. The Bastille Saint-Antoine was mostly empty when the Bourgeois Militia of Paris attacked. It was ancient, having been built in 1357 during the Hundred Years War, and had proven too expensive to maintain to house political prisoners, but still stood in popular imagination as a symbol of tyranny. The engagement began with negotiations between the royal garrison and the militia on the morning of the fourteenth. The militia were after the store of arms and powder housed there, and as the crowd confronting the garrison grew more restive a couple of them were invited inside to commence discussions in earnest. But the throng were impatient and rushed the courtyard, cutting the chains of the drawbridge. The battle raged until five thirty in the afternoon. The garde francaises and regular army mutineers entered the fray in mid afternoon, bolstering the ranks of the attackers. Several defenders of the fortress were killed, but ninety eight of the insurgents lost their lives. The governor may have given an order to fire cannon into the crowd but the rebels thought they had been trapped by a ruse to lure them in and they refused any further attempts at negotiations or a cease fire. By evening the Bastille was in the hands of the revolutionaries. There are nine hundred fifty four names on the roll of honor called the Vainqueurs de la Bastille. What is the point of all this? The French know how to riot. When it comes to first dates, this date in my own memory always pops up when I think liberte, egalite, fraternite. In recent history the French have protested job losses- what we in the US call downsizing or right sizing they refer to as perfidy, piracy and a violation of their rights as citizens- by seizing the company’s headquarters and taking executives hostage. Vive la France! Meek and docile Americans who are accustomed to think themselves residents of the land of the free and the home of the brave could take lessons from the French on how to run a protest movement. True, some of those protests seem to have come to little. On more than one occasion I have nearly wept when observing that though they have burned thousands of cars in a riot, there are still a hundred thousand Renaults on the road. First dates can be interpreted in any damn fool way you want, as I think I have effectively demonstrated. That is of course the idea of the symposia- take an idea chosen by popular vote and run wild with it, like the French do when rioting. Assert your independence! Flaunt your individuality! Do it by joining a group of social outcasts on a site devoted to free sexual expression and fulfillment and become a participant in the Fourteenth Virtual Symposium. Visit the blog of humorlife for details of the Symposium. The rules are quite relaxed and the deadline flexible. The French would tolerate nothing less and certainly nothing more, and they, although small in number, have become irreplaceble contributors to the Symposia.

Well played. I love the way you mix history and culture, past and the present . If you were writing history books, kids would have actually learned something. Even I could beat the high school text book writers of today. They are as much fun as reading the content of a serial box.

I love and admire the French. I just think they should stick to cooking and writing about philosophy and justice and leave building cars to the Japanese. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

Yeah, so, you just did that! I thought we had agreed that was a one time thing and that what happened in the goat shed stayed in the goat shed. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Premières dates devraient être un sujet amusant. PD a voté pour les chiffres, mais je présente mieux comme moi. (Les Français et les Américains sont très plein d'eux-mêmes , mais les Français ont pratiqué pendant des siècles.) Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I love watching the French protest. And I love how France almost shuts down in August as nearly everyone goes on holiday. But I still won't eat veal, snails and horse meat!

I'm pretty sure that if cars were edible this would be a solution for dealing with a Renault, too. They aren't much good for anything else. (I know I'm a bigot when it comes to Renault. My ex wife had one. It was a maddening piece of driveway sculpture.) Become a member now and get a free tote bag.
