One Man Can Make a Difference

Let's hope the lessons from Nelson Mandela's life and message of peaceful resistance and reconciliation gain new life with his death. Even more than that, it seems that we first need to understand and identify, as Mandela did, the very intentional war of poverty by the "haves" against the "have not's." We citizens have to take an active role in our future and not simply leave it up to the power mongering red tapers that are our elected officials.
