Moreover, Schama's only justification for any revolutionary activity of the French people is that THEY WERE HUNGRY. Had they been well-fed, there would be no reason to protest (even when they were hungry, their protests are not considered justifiable, only understandable). Had they had enough bread and cakes, they would have -AND SHOULD HAVE- continued living in happily in permanent minority of age, patronized by good-hearted aristocracy and clergy and, some decades later, peacefully trasform to the exploited working-class...Beautiful just to imagine it!
