In 1999 a BENIGN child was born in the philpines to a humble family. Life would soon cast a ray of good fortune upon her.
During a summer vacation, the Swansons arrived in the Philpnes not knowing of their FORTUITOS event. While on the beach, samantha, with her INHERENT DEBONAIR personality approached them. Samantha's SLOVENILY attire and knowing only how to speak flippino, smiled and raised her small hands filled with beautiful shells.Captivated with samantha , ingrid knew what she must do. Ingrids PREDILECTION to adopt her was SPONTANEOUS. In DISCOURSE with her family to ACQUIESCE her adoption.
Samantha was now a Swanson leading a normal american life. EMBELLISHED with FOPPISH dresses, samantha was the center of the family's attention. Years passed and ingrid was ANXIOUS to have a baby. This gave her STAMINA to perservire her goal. Finally she was blessed. Her pregnancy was normal until the unfortunate event. Samantha knew the new child would take away her parents attention. Sam's RECESSION lead to REGRESSION. Her younger years were full of happy events & made her feel safe.
Ingrids INTUITIVE feelings left her with SKEPTISIM about her own daughter. Did she really know her ? Even though ingrid has EQUABLE temper, she had to be PRUDENT with samantha. Because her INCESSANT behavior DEPLORED attention.
On a dreadful night, that ingrid will never forget. Samantha had been EMOTING feelings of anger. she REPUDIATED her mothers request to calm down. running UNDULATING, ingrid tried to SUPPRESS sam. But with one strong kick she flung ingrid across the room. Ingrid was left in pain. Her belly throbbed !! she was rushed to emergency where she soon discovered her miscarriage.
All her dreams were MEGALOMANIAED. Her husband, Paul was PETULANT. These tramatic events began to emulate in an NONCHALANT behavior. It began with INGENUOUS acts, samantha was ignored than it resignated to violent HACKNEYED behavior. His ANIMOSITY and resentment escalated each day. Samantha was distroyed. Her once DEBONAIR personality was no longer there. She was lethagical and felt hopeless. Sam was suffering physically and emotionally.
The cycle has just begun. Pauls STOLID behavior lead him to severly hurt samantha. One CONCILIATORY blow to her head left her lifeless and STUPEFIED . Paul had killed her. Showing no REMORSE and with a VOLATILE behavior, paul left. The act was PEPRHENISBLE and charged with 1st degree murder. Ingrid DEPLORED the fact that her husband was gulity only because she was also in denial. What would happen to her now ? She lost her two children. She lacked DIFFIDENCE , only time could heal her

Mohammad Ali: Speech
Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights?
No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. This is the time to stand for what we don’t believe .
I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. I have been warned that it could cost me, my career and even my freedom But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. It lives with in us.
I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality.…
If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what?
We’ve been in jail for 400 years. And yet here I stand and will fight for my rights to the end.

Marvin Gaye lyrics - What's Going On
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brotherThere's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to meSo you can see
What's going onYa, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brotherThere's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
