    The Ancien Regime was a precise target?

    They embodied the problem of class inequality and political tyranny.

    So were put to symbolic use by the revolution.

    And this putrid Congress does not reflect malefaction?

    Not really.

    Ineptitude. Greed. Stupidity. Ignorance. American politics as usual.

    You really think you're going to get people streaming onto Pennsylvania Avenue with pitchforks and torches because you tell them Congress is governing/not governing very well?

    Are you going to get them to storm the Federal Reserve because their 401Ks are down 28%? Or lynch Jamie Dimon because they can only afford the 42" flatscreen this year, rather than the 50"?

    Well, sure, as long as they don't need to miss an episode of Dancing with the Stars.

    I know it's become very popular to call the people stupid and ignorant, and there is certainly truth to that in a society where Honey Boo-Boo is a celebrity, but OWS and even the Tea Party - the sheer numbers involved in those disparate movements - reveal an acute awareness of the brokenness of our government.

    Already had them. Women wore bobby-socks back then to cover up their ankles.
