Remember, remember

It's the 5th of November!


But what on earth are we celebrating, or commemorating, or remembering, or whatever?



On this day when Britains are celebrating...or mourning...or remembering the

• torture and execution of traitors/Catholic freedom fighters, and/or 
• the successful foiling of an assassination plot,

I encourage all Americans to go vote.

And remember that the winners write history.

And remember that I don't encourage assassination and think there are many better ways to work for justice.

But there are probably also better ways to commemorate the capture and death of a hurting man who felt he was fighting for religious freedom than to burn his effigy.

That being said...I'm totally going to watch fireworks tonight.
