Re: Napoleon's demise!

yeah I remember reading about this battle
I wont call myself a history buff but I am fascinated by it
especially by battles
its so easy to write, 30,000 people died
but they were men, someones husband, sombody's sons
u know, living breathing people with lives just like ours, maybe a little simpler but still, people with dreams
blah, im just a mess today (nothing some mother's milk cant fix!)
