A little of everything

Blackness has always been assosiated with evilness, wrong, mystery, etc... Why is that so? In the dark, many things can not be seen, therefore it is far more dangerous and the bad guys are able to do treachery without getting caught. In the dark things are not clear and probably that is why they are not appropiate. The queen has black, but it is not refering to the literally meaning of being black the color, but black the symbol. The symbol that represents all those negative things. But why was this color assaigned to the queen? She doesn't seem evil at all...

What happened in November 5th?
"Guy Fawkes Day is celebrated in England on the 5th of November every year. On this date in the year 1605 a large group of Roman Catholics, led by a man called Guy Fawkes, tried to blow up the House of Parliament. The men were angry because the king had treated them badly and they didn't like it. The plan they had was called the Gunpowder Plot. " http://www.internet-at-work.com/hos_mcgrane/holidays/gregory.html
"The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, or the Powder Treason, as it was known at the time,was a failed assassination attempt by a group of provincial English Catholics against King James I of England and VI of Scotland. The plot intended to kill the king, his family, and most of the Protestant aristocracy in a single attack by blowing up the Houses of Parliament during the State Opening on 5 November 1605. The conspirators had also planned to abduct the royal children, not present in Parliament, and incite a popular revolt in the Midlands." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot

Quite an important day for England History, in the text it is associated with September 11th 2001, an act of terrorism. In which an important building or place was attacked. Both were for political reasons just like most of the conflicts there are in the world. Political or religious are the most controvercial issues. "November 5 1605 was a day that changed the history of England."

I don't understand what is a "plotter", is it a person who creates problems? or a person who creates a plan for something? Interesting termology. If I understand the word's meanig as a person who plans out a scheme, then for example Osama Bin Laden would be the perfect representation of a plotter. He was able to control 4 airplanes and make then crash into two of the highest buildings on earth without geting CAUGHT! Adolf Hitler is also a perfect example. he planned out to extinguish a whole human race, and was almost succesfull.

I find torture an infame activity, absolutly useless and ridiculous. Is it logical to make people confess a crime that probably were not guilty of, but were forced to say "I commited it" because of the pain they are going through. It is so hard to belive that today, they still practice torture. In Irak and in all those far way countries were war is the daily food. Amazingly absurd.

Are you practicing automatic writing?

The ideas are wonderful, but they look like you've dictated them to a horse trained to type! Please correct the orthographic and typographic errors.

I think the difference with Hitler is that he didn't need to plot. He had the support of thousands of people who were working for him.
