"Everything is a choice." America vs. Nottinghamshire
Apologizing in advance for any differences of opinion. This is MY opinion, I will respect yours, so don't think that I am against presidency or anything. ☺
The BBC Robin Hood series is a blast.
But it also has some strangely relevant parallels between now and then.
Let's find some, shall we?
Robin Hood leaves to go to the crusades, and comes back.
Everything has changed completely within the span of a few years.
America has changed almost completely from a Christan nation to a 'whatever-you-like-it's-a-(sort of) - free-country-as-long-as-you're-NOT-christan Country.
Another parallel:
This is a picture of Obama.
No, he's not the sheriff.
He's Guy of Gisbourne.
Why do I say that?
Well, because Obama is a big, bad, very nasty guy. But he's really just an *evil henchman on a leash.
Who is holding that leash? Well, we don't know. But it's a lot like Guy of Gisbourne and the sheriff of Nottingham. (Who, I might add, is himself working for Prince John. So who is Obama's leash-holder obeying? Prince of this world, maybe?)
Parallel 3: Those who stand up for what they believe in are imprisoned, hung, or similarly punished.
In Season 2: Episode 4: Angel of Death, Will Scarlet's father is murdered because he stands up for the King and what he believes in.
Yes, it's scary. But I'd rather have my hand cut off or be outlawed than give in to the wrong thing.
Actually, I think I'd like to be an outlaw. I'd rather be an outlaw than an oppressed peasant.
I'd rather be a hunted, chased person who actually does some good, no matter how dangerous.
And, my friends, that is what we will become.
This country is becomming Nottingham - and only us outlaws can stop it.

Titles!
Okay, I got a lot of title help!
My favorites were:
Locksley
Sherwood Arrows
Robin of the Hood
King's Outlaw
And my sisters were SO helpful: "Robin Hood and his morose men: How they found purpose and became merry" and "the pointed bow??"
I think I might write a parody Robin Hood called 'Going Green' thanks to Maralie...
With morose men as his followers XD
Thanks, guys!
Title help?
Yes, I knew Hood was a book =D It's a working title.
I'm tired of titles like "The adventures of Robin Hood" and "Robin Hood and his Merry Men."
One great big BLAH.
Hood was my favorite so far, I think I might call it Sherwood or something.
I don't know =D
Any ideas, anyone?
