What is a Happy Bastille anyway? Is it like a Happy Meal, (only without the toy)?

Bastille Day seems to be the French equivalent of Guy Fawkes day (or the USA's independence day).
In the UK we celebrate the capture, torture and execution of a Roman Catholic would-be terrorist and in France they celebrate the liberation of a bunch of prisoners from a political prison.
That said, both countries have a bloody history of religious intolerance and racism.
The French do good firework displays, tho'.

One would think they could do a bit of pope and circumstance - like the Brits
...and Guy Fawkes has been eased aside by Diwali
