Throughout history, views of certainpersonalities change from villains to heroes or fromterrorists/militants to freedom fighters.For example, both Menachem Begin, and Yitzhak Shamir, who later became prime ministers of Israel, were once wanted terrorists by the British.Ramush Haradinajof Kosovo also comes to mind. As an ex-rebel leader in Kosovo his actions were questioned.

This article explores how our assessment of certain figures and movements is subject to biases and prejudices. The notion of: "One people's terrorist is another people's freedom fighter", or as the saying goes: "One people's hero is another people's villain".Let us first start with examples of how some people are viewed differently, either from the dimension of time, or the dimension of society.

I ported three very nice looking Drupal themes from 4.4 to 4.5 and 4.6.All of them were designed by Chris Messina (a.k.a. FactoryJoe), who works with Civic Space Labs, and other Democrat oriented political activism web sites.The themes are:

• SpreadFireFox
• Democratica
• Lincoln's Revenge

Chris has a very distinctive style, and attention to detail. He themes every aspect of Drupal, including things which other themes usually don't bother to theme the admin menus, and such.

Another Drupal module that I wrote is the customerror module.This module eliminates the need to have the 403 and 404 errors as real nodes that get listed.
