In 1358, according to historian and author Barbara Tuchman, a peasant
revolution started in the Oise valley of France. The peasants attacked
and looted a manor house, killed the knight who lived there and roasted
him on a spit while his wife and children watched. A dozen of the serfs
raped the lady of the manor while the children watched, and then they
forced her to eat the cooked flesh of her husband. Then they killed her.

Now that is serious class warfare.

Discussing whether the top one percent of the wealthy in this country
should pay a higher tax rate is not, though I think the "French"
treatment of a few dozen Wall Street chiefs and industrial chiefs would
provide quicker results.


Lets hope a similar fate doesn't come to your doorstep.


Not likely.

Could happen. Po folk like me are envious of your toys and wealth. No
tellin what folks will do when they are hungry, cold, and homeless.
Might be a good time to stop braggin about your "stuff" if you catch my
drift.
