Bread lines in History

I started to read a book last night about finding meaningful ways of spending the last quarter of one's life.  It was written by a very well educated person and writer of many books.  It appeared very dated immediately.  The fear of changing times was missing.

It is silly sometimes the little short sentences that stick in my mind and the big overview is alittle like a cloud, it's there but hard to get a handle on it.  I have been fortunate to have a few different times in my life to visit Versailles.  Location, size and beauty of gardens are what is remembered but like a cloud if is in the end hard to put in words. I found it easier to understand when I heard this, "The new French Government began selling the contains of this palace with an auction every single day of the year for four years straight.  Of course, the French people would not buy because they did not want to be associated with the monarchy so most of the contains went to foreigners."

At a time when the price of wheat went too high to make the daily bread, the French people decided that the ruling powers had to change.  Today we have banks too big to fail much like the palace too big and important fulled with noble men too important to throw out.

When the price of wheat is too high and the bread lines get too long, the men of Wall Street  will be throw out of power.
