There's been a lot of talk at the Occupy Stuff encampmetns about Guy Fawkes and I've seen several V for Vendetta masks being worn. I loved that movie, but more on that later. Seems several people are concerned that the Occupiers are going to go all Guy Fawkes and cause some chaos on Saturday. I found this little blurp at
Forbes:
After his arrest, Fawkes is alleged to have declared that “A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy,” and that quote too makes appearances in chat rooms. Authorities therefore have been forewarned, and the more cautious of citizens may want to stay indoors.
and this
As for today’s anarchists and revolutionaries, a closer look at the Guy Fawkes plot and England today shows that the plot’s true lesson may be that in fact contrary to Fawkes’s declaration – no dangerous remedy was needed.
No remedy was needed - time and cool headedness was needed. Determined direction. That's what we see with the Tea Party. Cool headed, determined direction. Now that we've awaken - we're on the move and we won't be stopped.
