philosophical movement that occurred in Europe in the 18th century when reason
and individualism started to be emphasized instead of tradition.

5th November is Guy Fawkes
night in the UK, when the innocent and guilty alike celebrate the execution of
a man and his cohorts who attempted to murder the then king, so they could
replace him with a Roman Catholic monarch. That they would have killed many
others along with their intended victim illustrates the fact that terrorists
have long held the general populace in contempt, caring nothing for the lives
of other people and blinded by what is often religious dogma.
