Another view of Bastille Day:

Bastille Day, the French national holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. By capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute: power should be based on the Nation and be limited by a separation of powers.

Off with their heads

The celebration of state sponsored terrorism murdering approximately 55,000 of it's citizens by beheading them in a public square is actually on July 14, not March 14.
