Re: In today's news...
Though seperate post for clarity here: I was referring to the fact that left-right is what it is because of where deputies sat in the chamber during the French Revolution. It's a 200 year old seating chart that's worked it's way to become an actual political term. Just like how the "Montagnards" were called as such because they all sat together on the highest rows in the back. We can discuss the ideas all day if you want, but my quip was just about how funny it is that something as trivial as where people wanted to sit at is now used as such a wide reaching label.
