ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love...
Remember, remember, the Fifth
of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the
Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot. But what of the man? I know his name
was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of
Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember
the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be
killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've
witnessed first-hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of
them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it,
or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love...
And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember
the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget.
