There is really not much that I can say either.

My thoughts are very much with the people of South Africa at this time.

Nelson Mandela was a leader who set an example of calm dignity, love and reconciliation that shone across the world, and was an example for us all to learn from.

All we can do now is continue to remember him, and learn by his example.

A liberal’s disagreement with a socialist or social democrat comes down to this: we both seek equality, but the only equality a liberal thinks is worth striving for is an equality of freedom. A liberal’s disagreement with conservatives comes down to this: we both seek freedom, but a liberal believes no one can achieve it alone. There is such a thing as society, and government’s purpose is to shape a society in which individual freedom can flourish. (Michael Ignatieff)
