I refer you to the film of Charles Dicken's Novel "A tale of Two Cities", where, in the latter scenes, the oppressed French population sat around the Guillotine watching their oppressors (in their case the Monarchy who had no Humanity)executed while the population knitted and operated toy guillotines. In our presnt Era, there is an extrordinarily greedy group of people who really have little idea how much their actions are hated by the Majority of the Population or, if they are, they certainly don't care. I suspect that, if say 100,000 people were to turn up outside their "Castles", clicking needles (or knitting/crocheting - hopefully a practical use could be made for same) or using model Guillotines, this ENTIRELY PEACEFUL protest might give them cause to reflect on why France is a Republic. But the're probably too busy Gambling with other peoples money to care! An extra late but related comment on Crocheting/knitting.
