So are we going to see 10+ pages of comments and people showing up for local meets like we did in the Paul Walker thread? After all, I think people would agree Mandela contributed more to this world.

^World, Yes... Car community, No.

I've always felt that for a guy who was convicted of bomb making and spent 27 years in jail, there would have had too of been better picks for that election year.

Regardless RIP Mandella.

And you would think a guy who spent 27 years in jail would be bitter and would punish people who implemented apartheid but instead he forgave them stopping a civil war.

just to assist those who are confused with Freemans pic...

Invictus (2009)

Invictus is a 2009 biographical sports drama film directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Made a Nation about the events in South Africa before and during the 1995 Rugby World Cup, which was hosted in that country following the dismantling of apartheid. Freeman and Damon play, respectively, South African President Nelson Mandela and François Pienaar, the captain of the South Africa rugby union team, the Springboks.

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."

One of my favorite quotes ever is from Nelson Mandela.

RIP
