====================== HES POSTING =================== 
 
As would have say Jean Rostand, when being asked wether frogs belonged 
to the insects family, I'm firstly iclined to answer that such a story 
is approximately true, except that there was no "french parliament" 
before 1789 (up to this time, "le parlement" was only the highest 
courts) and no "socialist government" at all, and that in 1791, the very 
year of reference to "left" and "right", there was no matter of 
"capitalists" and "activists" (the revolution was driven by the 
capitalist bourgeoisie). In the "Assemblee Legislative" of 1791, 
succeeding to the "Assemblee Nationale Constituante", the "rightists" 
(on the right of the assembly president gallery) were "physiocrates" who 
were, thats'true, rather supporters of "laisser faire" (Dupont de 
Nemours had belonged to them in the former instance, one year before). 
As for the "leftists" (on the left of the gallery), they were just 
"socialist" enough to vote a law (with the "rightists") baning not only 
corporations, but unions too (Le Chapelier's Law).
