Surely if this was the case the submissions could still be published without including those details. Which doesn't confirm the reasoning of TF that it was to avoid responses from "experts who know how things work" but certainly adds weight to that reasoning IMO.

We now live in an age where we have many benefits that can argueably be attributed at least in part to the French Revolution. Try using more contemporary example of popular will over-throwing unpopular regimes such as the fall of Communist controlled Germany or the so call "Orange Revolution" - these are much better and are remembered by many more people as events that happened in their lifetimes. In the case of the latter revolution it also used many techniques and tools (eg. mobile technology and Internet) that are available right to anybody that may feel the same as you.

Both here in the US and over in the UK they're quickly becoming police states. There have been some big changes in the last 20 years and it looks to be accelerating at an even higher pace. Some examples are: More and more taxes Cameras in the streets for spying and to fraudulently increase revenue Fake war on terror, drugs anything else they want Free speech zones Harassing and arresting protesters It's all about control and it doesn't matter what the topic is.
