Guy Fawkes

Guy Fawkes Day is a funny celebration.

It is a funny celebration because, in reality, we are celebrating a foiled plot. Guy Fawkes was caught, Parliament wasn't bombed and then he and his co conspirators were executed. Noble cause or not in a day where we live in fear of terrorists overthrowing our government maybe we do need to celebrate the foiled plots.

Still, it seems sometimes Guy is a hero. Sometimes governments need to be challenged, okay maybe not murder the king but you know what I mean.

All this said, Sam's right, there isn't a lot of difference between our candidates. Same shit different pile. Maybe some shit needs to be burned. Maybe I'll run with the socialist party. Anyone want to sign my petition?
