Remember the 5th of November...

Para assinalar a data, deixo-te com um excerto de V for Vendetta...

"Remember, remember the 5th of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot
...
We are told to remember the idea and not the man
Because a man can fail
He can be caught
He can be killed and forgotten…
But 400 years later...an idea can still change the world…
...
Have witnessed firsthand the power of ideas
I've seen people kill in the name of them...and die defending them
But you cannot kiss an idea...cannot touch it or hold it
Ideas do not bleed.
They do not feel pain.
They do not love.
And it is not an idea that I miss.
It is a man.
A man that made me remember the 5th of November…"

"I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is…
But on this most auspicious of nights...permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet...to suggest the character of this dramatis persona…
Voilà!
In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran...
Cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate.
This visage, no mere veneer of vanity...
Is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished.
However, this valorous visitation
of a bygone vexation stands vivified...
And has vowed to vanquish these venal
And virulent vermin vanguarding vice...
And vouchsafing the violently vicious
And voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta...
Held as a votive not in vain,
For the value and veracity of such...
Shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose.
So let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you...
...and you may call me V!"
