V for Vendetta
An excellent movie, I must say!
In honour of Guy Fawkes Day, I'm watching "V for Vendetta". Then I'm going create a plot to overthrow the US government. Sounds like a fantasticly productive evening, don't you think?
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.

British history is so strange. It's really just a family feud. I wonder why Libertarians/Anarchists like Fawks. He was fighting to restore British fealty to Rome. He was no liberty lover.
I was reading up on "Guy Fawkes Day" and I don't understand why it's even celebrated. The Brits ARE strange!
But I still really like "V for Vendetta".
I wonder if the Brit fascination with Guy Fawkes comes from some deep seated guilt for leaving the catholic church. When this was happening England was still going back and forth with it's own church or alignment with Rome. So I bet his fame comes from an issue long dead. But if people today are fascinated with him for trying to blow up the British legislature, why not be in love with Osama Bin Lauden?
