The recent rioting in France fills me with joy. There is nothing in this world as satisfying to me as youth rebellion. It is almost spiritual, may I dear call it Divine, when the young oppressed masses, and the children of the oppressed, gather with content by the ashes of a simple catalyst. Be it martyrdom, like the spark that rekindled the French rioters, or simply unconformity. All civil unrest is beautiful to me.
Sadly in the U.S. our desire to rebel has been breed out of us. But that doesn’t mean that we don’t rebel in our own way. The unifying theme in all rebellions is the willingness of the individual to sacrifice what little they have, usually their lives, to right an injustice. It all comes down to the words of Patrick Henry, “give me liberty or give me death”.
