Happy Guy Fawkes Day!

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
If you don't know who Guy Fawkes is: look it up!

Even though I don't believe in blowing up Parliament, I do believe in citizens getting together and holding their governments accountable - and I know of no other day to better celebrate and recognize people who have tried to do so in the past and people who will continue to do so in the future!

Or as was so aptly put in V for Vendetta: "People should not be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people."
