Indeed our thoughts are with him, he is still an amazing man for a 92 yr old and accomplished almost impossible things for South Africa. (By the way it is Nelson Mandela (or Madiba). |

Most people have an opinion of him, one way or another, but as a human being, I hope he is able to recover from this setback in health. Age is against him, but others of his age have gone on much longer than he is now...Best wishes n prayers for him. ( I would never argue with someone as aged, ill as he is now....but in good health anything is fair) |

Those whom aren't out to rape/plunder their freinds, famiy and neighbors out of everything they own or their dreams..... are meant to be respected. |

I think that with Mandela, and many others, they have shown that they are due the respect that people give them, but like anyone else, the respect should be earned more than just a an entitlement. |
