-- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they should give serious consideration towards setting a better example: Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate... This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers, associates, or others. Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the first place... --------------------------------------------------------------------

And last night was Guy Fawkes:

Eh? array zero-origin error! "Remember, remember the fifth of *November* " as the old rhyme goes. Last night was the fifth of December.

Gunpowder and all.

And that "bonefire" site killed my browser. Ken Brown Here's a full version as used at Lewes in Sussex (the only county where Bonfire is properly celebrated!). I guess when they bring in all their silly new laws such verses will be illegal. Remember,Remember The Fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot; I see no reason Why Gunpowder Treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'Twas his intent To blow up the King and the Parliament; Three score barrels of powder below Poor old England to overthrow; By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holler boys, holler, make the bells ring, Holler boys holler, God Save the King! A penny loaf to feed the Pope, A farthing O' cheese to choke him, A pint of beer to rinse it down, A faggot of sticks to burn him! Burn him in a tub of tar, Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say old Pope is dead! Hip, hip, Hooray!
