Grandma's house stood high on a hillside overlooking an endless mosaic of forests and lakes. Every summer Kaisa travelled there to spend a few months in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and school troubles. This year, however, everything seemed different – grandmother had become quieter, and there was some unexplained feeling in the house, as if someone was watching her.

One night Kaisa woke up with a strange whisper. At first, he thought it was just the wind playing in the cracks of an old wooden house, but the voice sounded too clear. He got up from the bed and peeked out the window. Outside, right under the old apple tree, stood a dark statue. My heart began to beat faster. Kaisa closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, the statue was gone.

The next morning, she decided to ask her grandmother if she knew anything about the sounds of the night. Grandma sighed and said: “Some stories come to us in our dreams, some actually decide to come back...”

retour à la souveraineté des Etats
that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.

Make sense of it all.
I would like to see threats of global warming has been taken seriously and measures to halt its progression is in full force. I would also like to see either IQ tests or common sense tests for people, in charge of government. I also hope religion not to have such a strong hold over weak minds.
