Been thinking about this recently. For those of you not up on your French Revolutionary history this is an image of the clergy and aristocracy on the back of the peasantry from the 1789 era. Don't you think it makes a nice background for birobi's post today on 78 million reasons to keep Wayne Watson?

  2. Corday,

    Reminds me of Diego Rivera's murals all over Mexico depicting the conquistadores, priests and businessmen in their attempts to consolidate power over the indigenous and, later, mestizo, masses.
