Human history is filled with incredible moments of triumph but maybe moreso equally horrific atrocities. Sometimes, these incidents occur in desperation, but often, unfortunately, that is simply not the case.

Gods, those classes were a bore. . .until I took English Styles, and English Humanities in my last two years of high school. Then they got into some of the juicy stuff.
