Hero worship.
MY READ? Mandela was no hero, neither was Martin Luther King. They were at the right place at the right time...that is, guilty liberals ready to weep and PAY, PAY, PAY anyone claiming victim-hood--with MY money.

Now if you want to talk about HEROS: Mickey Mantle.

To: cloudmountain
I was being extremely sarcastic. I dont expect any legal action to be brought against winnie and nelson EVER.
