Don’t you Remember,
The Fifth of November,
‘Twas Gunpowder Treason Day,
I let off my gun,
And made’em all run.
And Stole all their Bonfire away. (1742)
It’s party time somewhere!
Guy Fawkes Day

“…the truth is there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there?”
Yup – there is.
Gotta love the commie sympathizer hippies with Guy Fawkes masks… The irony of the haters of Christianity wearing masks of a man who wanted a theocracy…
@2 – That’s because most people these days get their recognition of history from pop culture and political ideology.
They get about as far as him trying to blow up a government building and disregard everything else.
To quote Zombie:
“I’ve always wondered this: How hypocritical is it to wear a plastic toy, designed and licensed by the Warner Brothers corporation, and manufactured in a polluting slave-labor Chinese factory, to advertise a mainstream Hollywood film, starring overpaid actors, the profits from which will go to corporate shareholders, and yet you think that by doing this you’re somehow anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian?”
Don’t condone the behavior, however they are making a valid
point. Remember, our country was founded in revolution. VIVA
LA REVOLUTIONE POUR DES ETATS-UNIS D’AMERIQUE! SEMPER FIDELIS
FORGET Guy Faux Day!!!
A much more significant event happened on this day 56 years ago.

How does the old pun go? Guy Fawkes was the last man with noble intentions on his way to Parliament.
Or something to that effect.
