All of you really need to read Le Chevalier de Saint-Just, if only for passages like this:

—Ainsi, vous vous appelez Louis Léon Antoine Florelle… Vous voyez, je me souviens. Et moi Maximilien Marie Isidore. Mais mes proches m’appellent Maximilien. Et vous, quel est celui de vos prénoms que vous préférez ?

Saint-Just parut un peu décontenancé.

—Que vous dire… Mes parents m’appellent Antoine, mais moi je préfère Léon.

—Et moi, Florelle. Voilà un prénom charmant, et peu ordinaire ! N’évoque-t-il pas Flore, la déesse des fleurs ? L’épanouissement des qualités physiques et spirituelles de l’homme ? Comme il vous va bien ! Vous permettez que je vous appelle Florelle ?

Saint-Just, maîtrisant sa confusion, répondit simplement :

—Avec plaisir. Ce qui vous plaît ne peut me déplaire.

Now, now, as undeserving as they may be, we're supposed to be helping the people achieve a Republic, not setting them on fire. Go set the counterrevolutionaries on fire!

;__;

...

Can I set the bimbos on fire, first? There are a few here who would be perfect examples.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Well, bimbos, counterrevolutionaries: same thing, right?

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

What happens if we find out there are bimbo revolutionaries?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

That's by definition an oxymoron. I mean, I suppose they could have been brainwashed by Girondins or Dantonistes as easily as by the monarchy, but does that make them any less counterrevolutionaries in the end?
...Unless you're suggesting we may be able to get them on our side, which I suppose would necessitate not setting them on fire.

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Damn. And here I was all ready to have a bonfire...

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Well, that's if you think they can be won over. If not, by all means set them on fire.

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

...yay!

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

I take it you don't think they can be brought to the side of the Revolution?
...It figures. *sighs* Burn away, then.

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

And thus I will shout another: yay. Aren't they the new incarnations of the past false gods Maxime burned for his cracktastic party Fête de l'Être Suprême.

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

It's quite possible.
...You do know that the FdlES isn't Maxime's per se...?

[maelicia.livejournal.com]

Nyeah... many decided of it... etc.

But Maxime was the most excited about it, non?

[estellacat.livejournal.com]

Oh, probably--what with the not-eating-breakfast and all that.

Silly Maxime. XD
