This is Madison's Peacemaker Award, something given to Madison for being the long arm of the law. She's on the side of the right, a kind of white knight, and if you get her uptight, she's a frightening sight. Peacemaker doesn't have the peaceful sound that it probably should anymore. We can thank Wyatt Earp for that. I hear "peacemaker," and I think of that solitary sheriff in the middle of the town's dusty street, facing off against villainous scoundrels in long black trench coats. Fortunately, he's got his peacemaker with him!
Madison doesn't have a peacemaker though. She is a peacemaker. That's one who makes peace, which supports an earlier statement on this blog about her someday perhaps being a lawyer. She practices litigation and negotiation in the classroom, recognizing the path to peace.
This just may be her first stop on the way to a Nobel Prize. I mean, she might as well get that award too, right? I mean, not mentioning any names, but other people have gotten that award for their potential, and not for actual accomplishment. So in that respect, she's probably a lock!
