"Bastille Day festival..."

I've always wondered why anyone would want to celebrate Bastille Day or anything having to do with the French revolution. As far as I can determine, the French revolution was nothing more than an excuse for the public murder of many innocent people. The innocents far outnumbered those who might have been found guilty of actual crimes against the people.
