Indeed. To my recollection he never seemed to dwell on his past and the countries injustices, he only looked forward.
Interesting to me that a man who has been compared to Ghandi receives three posts and film star who dies in a car crash receives 5 pages of posts.

I have some family members fighting on Facebook about that very same thing. VERY FEW of us could endure what Mandela did.
RIP- Mr. Nelson Mandela
....and short of blaming who plant the tree in the street to split the car.....or it could've been....many innocent bystanders/youngsters were xxxxx but if the city of Valencia had plant a few trees, might save a few lives. Nothing about driving a tricky car with 600+hp going side ways to show off to the crowd.
its an up-side-down world.

Perhaps, but presidents, kings, rulers and the world will commemorate his life; and people will learn about him and his significance in text book for generations. By January Paul Walker will almost be a footnote.
I mourn the passing of Nelson Mandela and think of the greatness he accomplished. I think about P Walker, shake my head and think about the waste; even though he did a bit of good.

Stated this on another forum, but I doubt his significance to the world will be widely acknowledged by those outside of his continent. His methods will be argued about for years but his legacy is set. What a remarkable man and story.
Well said!
This was almost like the time when Princess Diana died and a couple of weeks (?) later, Mother Theresa passed away.
The spotlight was still on Princess Diana.
RIP Mr. Nelson Mandela.

1st of all - Nelson Mandela did alot for his nation, Africa and Humanity in general. May his sould Rest In Peace.
2nd: Nelson Mandela was a great man but he was no Ghandi. I might be biased(b/c my parents are from India) but I have read enough about both men to say that.
3rd: What's up with who sign interpreter debacle. How the heck can the South African gov't not have a competent and more importantly stable sign interpreter when they have so many world leaders under one roof?
