While everyone else is voting today, I will be listening to this tomorrow. ;p

I know, we can criticize Guy Fawkes and what he stood for, and we can criticize the movements that have clung onto him and his visage; however, for me it isn't about the smallness of any one movement or individual, it is about the spirit of rebellion, independence and liberty. The 5th of November isn't about ideology, it is about life, the splendor of illumination and the fires of passion being breathed into humankind again so that we might resume our creative efforts despite the forces of darkness and slavery that are acting against us.

Freedom begins as a mindset. Creativity begins as intentionality, and from these small seeds, great renaissances have been born.

This song to me sums up USA and to some extent UK elections.

America was created with the spirit of rebellion.
I think most have forgotten that or are to dumb to know what they should be rebelling against.

The story of American independence and the Alamo warms my heart. I think that is the spirit of humanity in action, struggling to push forward to that next higher stage of existence. Unfortunately, you look around America today and what I see being actualized before me doesn't strongly suggest that it was born out from a movement of independence, liberty, and creativity.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and plot.
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

Step right up! Be the first on your block to become one em' terrors.

Capture your fifteen minutes of fame as they beat down your door and drag you kicking and screaming to jail.

You wanted to be free, what a tragedy.



Now, let us make up your mind for you.

Tell ya what, I voted this morning and there wasn't a heck of a lot of rebellion goin down at my polling place. There were more election workers than voters. Sad.

Every breath we take is an act of rebellion.

This will be sung tomorrow:



It depends on the results as to WHO will be lamenting.

Bleh voting... what does it do? Nothing. What does it change? Nothing. I only voted once in my life. What a waste of time.
