While discussing the true causes of revolutions throughout history our professor mentioned a theory that the French Revolution occurred as a reaction to rising prices of sugar and coffee. These were luxury items in 18th-century France. While the masses wanted their pain, the emerging bourgeoisie delighted in café avec sucre. That got me thinking - the only way to foment a revolution in this great land of apathy would be a shortage of gasoline, a pox on all reality television show hosts and the simultaneous immolation of every Starbucks chain in the country.
