when I watched that American flag program on OETA.
To wit, OUr flag, the "Stars and Stripes," was the first flag in world history that was completely and totally secular. That's right, no religious symbology and no monarchical emblems from monarchs -- who purportedly derived their authority from God (a/k/a "The Divine Right of Kings")
"Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever they can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser; in fees, expenses and waste of time." -- Abraham Lincoln, (1809-1865) Lawyer and President who saved the United States.
"Without opportunities on the part of the poor to obtain expert legal advice, it is idle to talk of equality before the law"-- Justice Chas. Evans Hughes
Sic'em picking up a hottie.

The French Revolution is definitely one of my least favorites coming in only ahead of the Bolshevik Revolution.
