Nelson Mandela is still all over my tv screen!

Then again, once upon a time, I might have said the same about Mugabe.

Suppose you give two people the same amount of money, and ten years later when you check on them one of them has spent it all and is living in poverty and and the other invested in creating a thriving business that makes him "rich."

Why is the schlump who pissed it all away entitled to anything of the "rich" guy's?

The way the entire world is run is the result of a typical liberal wet dream — the UN.
