***I wont mention all the births of March 10th, but id like to note that for some reason ALL of them are of an artistic focus (appart from a few athletes) and none of political interest. This is pretty weird as I am a writter myself, and have a very extensive passion for music as well... something about the cosmic allignment of march seem to create... creativity... however most of the deaths on this date are of a political nature... Im sure they all died in very creative wys.
