95....wow.

One of the greatest men in history. So much evil was perpetrated against him yet he took the high road in transforming a country bent on retribution and led it thru what could have been a very bad very bloody time.

Not very surprising, given his ill health recently, but he does leave behind a great legacy.

A legend.  Not just for his country, but the world as well.  His example of non-violence showed that the impossible was indeed possible.  An open acceptance of his enemies, an outreach of forgiveness, and class act of embodieing peace, goodwill, for all of humankind to follow.

Well done, Mr. Mandela.  The world needs more Madibas.  Rest in peace.
