Let them eat cake

We all remember learning in school as kids about the famous words of the french queen who responded to her people's lack of bread by saying "Let them eat cake". Since this was in France hundreds of years ago, why was it so important that we learn about it in schools now. The real reason why we study history is so we don't repeat the mistakes of the past. This lack of caring for her people led to a huge anarchy that got way out of hand. The thing I don't understand is how our congress could be so foolish as to do the same thing and risk anarchy against them. I definitely do not think it's too far fetched to say that if congress doesn't get more in touch with what the people want, there could be an uprising. We now have gas prices that are far too expensive which drives up the food and other goods to higher prices, and people can barely afford to live. Nancy Pelosi is the modern day Marie Antoinette, who is more concerned with her own political agenda than what the poeple need. She has a president that will not veto any bills that allow drilling in America, but she won't do a thing to get the house going on this. She says she would rather we just go green. I wouldn't have been surprised if she had said "Let them go green". It's the same thing as "Let them eat cake", just with a modern twist. Let's vote her out ASAP.
