Storm the Bastille
On July 14, 1789, the citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille, a notorious prison where men were sent for opposing the tyrannical government. It was an important part of the French Revolution where the rule of the King was overthrown and French democracy began. During the revolution thousands of members of the oppressive former government, and those who opposed the new democracy were summarily parted from their head by a guillotine. The storming of the Bastille is commemorated every year on July 14.
On July 14, 1789, the storming of the Bastille immediately took on a great historical dimension; it was proof that power no longer resided in the King as God's representative, but in the people. The French revolution was largely inspired by the American revolution. The people of France saw that it was possible for a free people to throw off the chains of a tyrannical government. The three values of liberty, equality, and fraternity became the motto of the new order.
Today we are once again bound by the chains of tyranny. Our government has abrogated much of it's constitution. The freedoms promised to a free people are long gone. Millions of American men rot in hell hole prisons for fictitious crimes which can only be called a refusal to live in bondage. The time has come for a new generation of Americans to storm the Bastilles in our country, to free millions of political prisoners and separate the forces of the evil tyranny from their heads.
Storm the Bastille! Break out Lady G. She has a ton of work to do.
Liberty! Equality! Fraternity!

A bit emotional, Bob?
Have you been seeing "A Tale of Two Cities" too many times?
Got my pitchfork ready. Waiting for DeFarge & Co.
Free Cagliostro (heard they locked him up there).
Bob, reading your Blog, one would think that you had the world's worst marriage.
That you had married a violent Shrew who left you for another man. Then stuck you with alimony and child support.
They'd think your monster kids mistreated you and cursed you. That you worked 3 jobs, with mean bosses, to pay that unfair alimony. Alimony which your ex-wife squandered on luxuries and Caribbean cruises with her boyfriends.
I mean... we know none of the above is true. But it's sure easy to draw that conclusion.

You assumptions tell us a lot about YOU, and nothing about Bob. Your "foregone conclusions" are your own misandrist prejudice. Thanks for sharing an insight into the evil feminazi mind.
Bob it is gratifying to know that your marriage is happy and healthy. And that you are enjoying retirement.
