Occupy this.

       The directionless masses forming the "occupy" movement have recently started wearing masks, as a symbol of their movement.  It was reported by the Ass-ociated Press that it is a "V for Vendetta" mask.  To those of us with an education it is a Guy Fawkes mask.  Not surprisingly named for Guy Fawkes.  Guy Fawkes was part of a group who attempted to bomb the House of Lords with casks of gunpowder placed beneath their chambers in 1605.  He was caught there, guarding the gunpowder on November 5th.  The plot, quite obviously, failed.       
       Which brings me to the main thrust of this missive.  Appropriateness.  See the mostly peaceful sit-ins of the occupiers, which amounts to nothing more than noisy complaining, is the exact opposite of a violent bombing of an entire branch of government.  One of these things is an action, the other whining.  On another note, were I to pick someone to represent a political movement I were a part of; I would pick someone who succeeded in what they were doing.  Guy Fawkes failed.
       Another group had taken to wearing Guy Fawkes masks.  You may have heard of them.  The Tea party.  Now I will not begrudge anyone a fashion statement, but given how politically disparate the two groups are, it is amazing they both feel a connection to this character.
       One positive to come of this though is the mask wearing.  If only we could get every idiot extremist to wear a Guy Fawkes mask...
