Happy Bastille Day! Aux armes, citoyens!!!
We have lots of Bastilles here to tear down. We need more citizen participation!

And thank you, France, for your inspiration to us down the centuries.

2. Play Serge Gainsbourg's reggae version ...
Aux Armes, Citoyens, Et Caetera.

Maybe a duet with Whitney Houston.

it nearly caused riots in L'Hexagone. (The song, not Ms. Houston.)

4. A seemingly unrelated quote comes to mind

Society is like a stew. If you don't stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.

Edward Abbey was right as always.

6. Marchons! Marchons!
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your batallions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!

Aux armes, citoyens !
Formez vos bataillons !
Marchons ! Marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons
