Nelson Mandela RIP

[5 Sams]

I think it deserves a thread of its own. The death of a man who was considered a terrorist in his day and who ended up as one of the most respected world statesmen ever.

"I was called a terrorist yesterday, but when I came out of jail, many people embraced me, including my enemies, and that is what I normally tell other people who say those who are struggling for liberation in their country are terrorists. I tell them that I was also a terrorist yesterday, but, today, I am admired by the very people who said I was one."

RIP Nelson Mandela.
