Tragically, heroine's must die at the whim's of those that they have made war with. History continues to repeat itself as war remains headline news everyday. When will humanity come to realize that every individual has the freedom and power to make a conscious decision?

Funny, how the French always seem to be involved in some type of conflict. And, although they rarely ever win the war, their presence is wide and far spread throughout the world. What is it about French colonization that keeps their culture alive, even after they have been conquered and defeated?

The decision that I have made today today is to live in, and at peace, with the world. And so it is......
