Cool. Pitcairn Island has had a very troubled history, all sorts of Incest and Pedophilia scandals in fairly recent history, but when the British re-discovered Pitcairn and found the Bounty decendants living there they found the most ordered and peaceful society they had encountered anywhere in the South Pacific. It came at a cost for the mutineers though, they had themselves a little alcohol-fueled civil war on that island for a brief time and claimed to find salvation for their little band only in the teaching from the Bounty's Bible which they salvaged before they set it ablaze. Pitcairn has it's own interesting history for such a small secluded place.

People were surprised about what happened on Pitcairn because for so many year people thought it was a perfect paradise. Unfortunately they are people to and there are crimes in every country in the world just like what is found on Pitcairn Island. However, there are also people there who have not committed any crimes and who live good lives. It is like any place on earth, no where is perfect. it is a very interesting place and I have an encyclopedic knowledge of Pitcairn history, so if anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

Daily Horoscope for December 14

Leo

Stand by for fundamental changes in a close relationship today. Something that has been hidden or secret until now comes to the surface, forcing you to acknowledge it. For instance, if you fancy someone but haven't done anything about it, the atmosphere between you now could become so torrid that you're finally overtaken by passion.
