He was one of the great humans of our time..... and thankfully I once had the great privilege of shaking his hand.

The world is a richer place because of his courage.

Quite an impressive man indeed. To be able to withstand the treatment that he endured and come out of it with the honor and integrity that he did was indeed impressive. He could have ripped the country appart and exacted a horrible toll on the white South Africans but he did not. He definitely left a mark on the world.

"Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies."

"A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world the better place we so passionately dreamt of."

 Obama had no time for Maggie Thatcher, long time US allie and conservative but at the drop of a hat he's off and running to his democratic socialist brother.

What does S Africa have to do with US? Oh. yeah, American $$$$ helped the useless cause of a country I am not interested in.

Cash in before he gets too cold?

If you had a movie made ready for after his passing, when would you release it?

[Glenn Quagmire]

Christmas movies come out around Christmas, scary movies around Halloween, and reflective myopic bio films come out around anniversaries of birth and death.

This is a little soon, but how long do you wait before release? I guess it also depends on how he is portrayed?

Well worth it when you can spare some time:
