Very good movie and I have to add the little tidbit, did you know that the etymology for the word "guys" are people who followed Guy Fawkes?

No, I didn't know that ....
 
As the election draws near and our financial system continues to fall apart, I am reminded of the movie again and again.

Nudging this for relevance.

Please exercise your mind, do some fact-finding on the candidate you want (partisan rags and blogs don't count), educate yourself and take the time to vote today.

Of course it matters. Every vote count will matter. If nothing else, large numbers of people voting third party may help send a message (which will, I'm sure be ignored by DC) that the American people are fed up with our "two party" system. The bigger picture for your vote is that eventually the numbers will have to come out about the third party candidates and more of the population may become emboldened to vote outside of the "norm" next time around.

Actually if you look a "strong" third party, decent single digit numbers, you will see through recent history that one or both of the major parties will pick up and address some of the issues from the the strong third party be they independant or actual party.

Substitute your own words in the appropriate places in the above famous rhyme and remember:

Vote tomorrow.

"Remember, remember, the 4th of November, when the war of words comes to a head. We clash of future finance, and terror, and hope, but it's the past that we all dread."

Gave it a shot, anyway.

Well I've always liked the 4th November, it's my birthday lol though this year I'm very old. Five more years and I'll have my bus pass ( am hoping only the Brits know what that means lol!)
Damn fireworks are a pain though.
 
The movie (and graphic novel) V for Vendetta based on these events certainly has lasting relevance.
