11, 231 words later I am finished describing genocide of the Italo-Ethiopian War..
 
This class is horrendous. But I have gotten through it, and just finished after a month of research, and seven six-hour days in front of this damned computer [that is why I have increased my posting if y'all didn't notice]...

I have successfully described the events of the genocide against the Ethiopians by the Italians from 1936-1941, and in particular documented the successes of the massive Ethiopian Patriot's Movement, and also thoroughly compared the activities of the Ethiopian Patriots to Jewish Partisans during the Holocaust, in 11, 231 words....

It has been hell, and made for the scariest halloween of my entire life, however since monday i have been writing about the Resistance, and it is uplifting of messianic proportions to discuss Ethiopians killing Italians in defense after spending so much time documenting Italian atrocities....

the moral of the story, sometimes the world is an absolutely terrifying place, however, never underestimate the perserverance of the human spirit.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to akprodr again.

[there is truth to that, I do know personally several folks who were children in Ethiopia during this time]

It's always amazing to discover another genocide that I was unaware of. Not amazing in a positive way; rather in a "how many of these fucking things were/are/will there be."

1,321 words later and I've finished a paper comparing the post-globalization megacorporations in the fictional worlds of Red Mars and Neuromancer.
