Rest In Peace Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela passed today at the age of 95, a truly remarkable man.

Oh, Man does that suck. Well, he lived a full and amazing life, leaving Black South Africans better off in his wake. How many can say they did such great things with their lives? I know I can't.
RIP Nelson Mandela! Dave

My dad worked at a power plant in South Africa in the mid 50s. Many white folks tried to get him to smuggle cash/jewelry out of the country, they all believed 'the blacks would run them into the sea.'
I think largely because of Mandela, it didn't happen. This is a wonderful legacy. RIP. Pete
