Hope everyone follows teh link... very inspirational. Peace is sought one on one rather than through politics. No law or law enforcement will ever result in peace. It must be initiated by each individual.

(As of this comment, the scrolling is not working on my Firefox: it just links to the full picture file.)

The scrolling problem has been fixed. Thanks Don. Turns out trying to make the image link back to the 'larger' size somehow caused the image not to scroll in FireFox.
