Monthly Discussion Point: Camille Desmoulins

[trf-chan.livejournal.com]

This month's discussion point is Camille Desmoulins.

Discuss any and all aspects of his life, how important and influential he was in the course of the Revolution, why he brings so many fangirls to the yard today, how jealous he obviously was of Saint-Just, etc. etc.

Because People!Discussion points seem to actually yield up more...discussion. O.o;

Also, feel free to use the comments to suggest other monthly topics you'd like to see coming to an LJ community near you. I expect 'Why Our Mod is Always a Week Late Putting up Monthly Discussion Points' to be rather popular, personally. D:

Heh, it's probably better that you don't understand it. XD And I hope you didn't take the post to mean that I thought everyone who liked Camille was a 'fangirl' or anything. I know that's definitely not the case, especially not with you. So. Yeah. :D;

Anyway, I think you make a really good point with your second paragraph. Have you noticed how often that seems to happen in American History? -_-

Oh, no, I didn't think you meant that - I just started thinking on it and got carried away, I guess. And, um, it is good to know that you don't get that impression from me. :D;;

Thank you. Er, yes. It's been especially great with my American History teacher. (This is her reading from the Constitution: "Wait, what does that mean? This, like, doesn't even sound like English..." and "I think what they meant to say was-" oh, God, she's making an amendment.) I expect it's mostly bad because we're Americans, too. It gets a little ridiculous to watch.
