Depending on an individual’s opinion of the French Revolution, one can determine their political proclivities.  I have mostly tended to be of liberal persuasion; yes, the dreaded 'l' word.  I look at it as by and large, a positive experience.  Yes, there was The Terror, and the king and queen lost their heads, and so did a lot of other people.  But that is an edge of wildness that is missing in todaThe pounce is essential in making a kill.  Prey will struggle and do what it can to escape, but if a sufficient amount of pressure is applied on the major arteries, with care and discretion, there can be a meeting of opinions.  

I may wear the suit and tie, but the breeding shows through, a horse that should be sent to the knackery cannot hide that for long, and I have never claimed to have a noble bone in my body.  I may have insinuated, or implied, or even suggested that I have found a better way of living, but the truth is never so well-preserved as when lies are the embalming fluid.

I stare out the window, at the sun as the moon, which was beaten at dawn, clubs it from behind.  Their battle is so full of metaphors that only junkies and the damned can find some way out of The Senate could stifle foreign problems by throwing soldiers at the troublesome provinces, but dilemmas on their own doorstep were beyond them.  Such is the withered limb that holds Wolfram and Hart down with the commoners.  And that is what shall, eventually still their wagging tongues.
