I didn't "Remember, Remember the Fifth of November"


I must have had other thoughts on my mind that morning...

Better late than never. Herewith a photo of the (anti)hero from V for Vendetta...
And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.

  1. Yes, it was a great movie. It brought to our attention what is going on here in the US as well as all over the world. We have less privacy than we should. So, remember, remember the 5th of November and remember where the real blame lies!
