...a great, great man.

And now, Gregg will regale us with all the "dirt" he can find on Mandela.

The dirt on Mandela is too hard to find. Mandela is a convicted terrorist and he was a
communist until the day he died. His best international friends were Fidel and Muammar.

I will be honest here and say I don't know a lot about Mandela... However
what I have "caught" listening was that he was a decent man who's actions
reflected that... He walked the walk, for what he believed, and
sacrificed his own "life" as it were, for the greater cause with no regrets...

He had his flaws, but overall he did good. Those who have taken over the
ANC, have corrupted his ideals. Big thiefs! It amazed me that Mandela
lived as long as he did. Visiting Robbin Island prison, and seeing the
work they had to do, and the living conditions he lived under, was amazing
he was still that healthy. His weakness was women. So he had a divorce in
his life. He left home, as he did not want to marry the women picked out
for him. Winnie is not even well liked in South Africa. The day we left
she was being investigated for murder charges when we were there in March.
Killing those on her side in the struggles. I do not think Mandela was a
Communist, but was a Socialist. And a conviction for terrorism? Thomas
Jefferson would have been convicted by the English under their rule for
terrorism.

Mandela was a communist and terrorist before he went to prision, he was a communist while he
was in prision and he was a communist after he was released from prison. The only thing that
changed was the level of terrorism that he was directly involved with.
