Just saw Mandela. Wow.

Awesome. Powerful. Tender. Agonizing. Amazing.

Random thoughts during the movie: powerful tugs of emotion remembering this country in the 1960s / thinking that about 30% of this country would have us go back to that tomorrow if they could... gotta get out the vote in 2014 can't let this happen........

I had a sudden desire to put my hands around Phil Ducklips neck and crack it.

Other reflection during the movie: the only true despicable creation is the human race, or that portion of it that thrives on fear, hatred, control, domination, repression.
