I posted that right after it dropped. So true.

Also, here's my own way of eulogizing Mandela:

Nelson Mandela's story has been a major influence on my life and how I try to live it. I don't believe at any point I should have to spend 27 years in prison, but the lessons taught by Mandela are universal. When moving to New York, it was a Mandela quote that gave me the strength to say it can get better. In honor of a great man, allow me to throw out that amazing quote one last time: “As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison.”

This. And these wing nuts calling Nelson Mandela a terrorist (Really? Really??) need to get the fuck off my Facebook before I go off. :twisted: So blangry.

It's my belief that one should decide for oneself when it is time to end one's stay," -- Peter O'Toole

I adored this man, my favourite actor. Somewhere he and Richard Burton are opening another bottle...

Mikhail Kalashnikov, inventor of the Ak-47, has died today. May he (in a neutral view) be remembered for his achievement, creating a invention that had changed the world.
