Walt Disney World is a magical place.  Really, its creators tell us so, a lot.  For Spring Break, I visited this magical place for the first time in my life and I have a feeling it is a lot different going as a 20-year-old than as a 10-year-old.

'Vendetta' hits home with a futuristic political storyline

"Remember, remember the fifth of November; gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot."

The opening lines of the film "V for Vendetta" are from a British rhyme about the day Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up Parliament and reinstate the Catholic Church in England. Although he was caught moments before lighting the fuse, the British government used it as an excuse to begin persecuting Catholics.
