It is dangerous point as far as you are concerned, but hardly an idiotic one.

Does anyone object at this reference point? |
With all due respect to French Revolution (which leveled Bastille and quickly failed without bringing much of human rights. If you wish to use similar marker American Revolution predates French one by 17 years and was much more successful) I see no relevance of it to the subject at hand. However, I appreciate your attempt to bring some sense into out discussion.

I believe that we cant go back in reference 4000 years, because then we wouldnt be taking into consideration human life and supposed human rights. |
I would like to offer an alternative idea. How about as long as people remember who they and are willing to take back what was once taken away from them?
