28. Because sometimes the system is so corrupt...
...that the simplest solution is to just wipe the whole thing out and start over. It's the idea that the system is no longer capable of being fixed from within, and that only an external force can apply the changes needed. Fawkes is a representation of that ideal. He's a guy who tried to "blow the whole thing up" so they could start over.

I think the OWS thing is rather pointless overall, but I happen to agree with that assessment. Our system is irreparably broken, and I don't know what the fix is.
