Comment on LulzSec's 'Topiary' arrested parent

Almost positive that's a direct quote toward the end of Alan Moore's V for Vendetta.

Which kinda makes me grin and roll my eyes at the same time.

I've been listening to the teaching company's audio lectures on the history of freedom, and I think the idea that "you can't kill an idea" is also represented in Socrates & Jesus-- both of their influences did not waver after death. /historynerd

That may be so, but I suspect it's in more direct reference to the LulzSec/Anon open letter to the FBI posted at http://pastebin.com/RA15ix7S

I'd guess that both were derived from Medgar Evers:

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
