let us also not forget that today is another type of historic day. on this day in 1605, a group of catholic conspirators set out to destroy Parliament and the royal protestant family.
this is commonly referred to as the Gunpowder Plot.
Tonight is also known as Guy Fawkes night.
- Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
- The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
- I can think of no reason
- Why the Gunpowder Treason
- Should ever be forgot.
the graphic novel, and later film, V for Vendetta, presents an anarchist revolutionary dressed in a Guy Fawkes mask, trying to bring down the fascist government. One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter, it just depends on which side you are on... i think that the only sanity lies somewhere in the middle.
