    I would just like to take the time to recognize the fact that today is Mr. Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela's 95th birthday. Although he may be celebrating it in the hospital it is still a special occasion none the less. Not many live to see 95 especially not as good of men as he. Thinking of you today Madiba, much love.
    You can check out some of the things that they are doing today in South Africa as they help celebrate his birthday here:

    Are you saying he isn't a good man?

    Regardless of the means he utilized to get his objective, we can't deny that Mandela did what was possibl to stop the apartheid in South Africa. I don't think any historical figure was a perfect person (yes, I'm talking about you, mother theresa) but we can't deny that the world was a worse place before he was elected. So I wish him recoveries and a happy birthday, and even if he dies tomorrow, he has lived a very long life. I hope my grandmother lives up to 95 too.
