Re: The Origins and Dangers of the ‘Wall of Separation’ Between Church and State
From the 3rd of September 1793 to the 27th of July 1794, the number of victims of the Terror is 40,000 victims of whom 17.000 by the guillotine and the rest drown, by shooting squads etc…
After the victory of Fleurus (26th of June 1794, where for the first time an observation balloon (filled with hydrogen) was used, in fact a far better moral factor than a real observation role) the Republic felt safer and Robespierre rule was ended.
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. Voltaire.
"I've been in few famous last stands, lad, and they're butcher shops. That's what Blouse's leading you into, mark my words. What'll you lot do then? We've had a few scuffles, but that's not war. Think you'll be man enough to stand, when the metal meets the meat?"
"You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
"Yeah, lad. But I was holding the metal"
