OK, so I'm 400 years too late, but it illustrates that things haven't changed that much. I'll tell you what, James I dealt with them in a way that would make even Dick Cheney wince -

Would it have made any difference if he'd succeeded? Guy Fawkes succeeds? Who knows? Could one man have changed history? Does anybody care except me?

I guess it's possible. Guy Fawkes framed? It's a good one for the conspiracy theorests, at least. |

From my reading years ago on the topic, Guy was not the brightest bulb (a bit of an anachronism, I know), and not capable of masterminding a complex assassination plot. Now that the Pope has exonerated Gallileo, when will the Crown exonerate poor Guido? [size=14]"Free Guy Fawkes"[/size] -- a catchy new bumper sticker. |

A fairly common piece of graffiti when I was growing up was 'Guy Fawkes was right' They can't exonerate him, the Brits would have to give up the delightfully pagan Nov. 5th celebrations. 'A penny for the straw-man' just doesn't have the same ring to it. |
