Guy Fawkes - was he good or bad?

sarkyfox [Edit] [Delete] 12:30, 9 May '07

well? i'm not really that up to speed on this apparently momentous dude in english history. so, he tried to blow up parliament in days of yore. was this actually for the greater good or evil? i say, good. but, my historical knowledge, is... shall we say, slightly biased i think.

is it not slightly disgusting and wrong to burn an effigy of someone once a year?

the first bonfire night i went to (2001), i felt really uncomfortable, standing around gangs of people shouting 'BURN HIM! BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN HIM!'

thoughts please? thanks.
