Remember, Remember

I wanna talk tonight about one of my favorite movies: V for Vendetta. That's right, "remember, remember, the fifth of November". The movie itself is great. However, I would like to talk about the idea behind it. The idea that "we are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed, he can be forgotten. But years later, an idea can still change the world." Being the lover of history that I am there is one thing that is constant; ideas can be eternal. "Words will always retain their power" Let's look at particular historical figures such as Abe Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. They placed words on a piece of paper. Then, with every fiber of being within them they opened their mouths and spoke into the lives of Americans present and future. Words and ideas. Those have the ability to travel. A simple idea can do more than any physical person can. Without an idea, or without words, humans would be unable to accomplish anything of importance. Words are powerful. With the stroke of a tongue a person has the ability to build someone up or tear something down. Over the next few blogs, I am going to explore ideas. Ideas that keep me up thinking at night. Ideas that cause me to question if I am really doing what I am supposed to do. What if government is not for us? What if it is only there to make us behave, while having an alternative plan? This is what I am going to be exploring. These ideas are dangerous. The idea that people should not be afraid of their government, but the government should be afraid of their people.
