It is interesting the link drawn between leadership and hope. And those words that first inspired him were from Nelson Mandela.

Commented in The Lost Art of Growing Blueberries With Fire
Nelson's blueberry farm does this in eastern NC and I always thought it was just to remove weeds. Interesting.

Commented in Trevor [Noah] Celebrates Nelson Mandela’s 100th Birthday
Ack! Sorry about that. Can't be sure from here, but maybe Dailymotion. From what I can tell, you may be able to watch it directly on Comedy Central. If not, the gist is available here.

Commented in Walesa Legend Now a Spy Story as Polish History Is Rewritten
I don't know that anybody thinks of Walesa as a figure like Nelson Mandela, a reform leader deemed an enemy of the state that served decade after decade after decade as a prisoner of conscience rather than succumb to a fatally flawed system, until ultimately winning his freedom as that system collapsed, presiding over the establishment of a new system for a new nation, and becoming one of the most important leaders in the history of the world.
Walesa was a man who did the best he could. If he was a union president that informed on his members, he was a creature of his time and the system he was born into. Ronald Reagan did the exact same thing, only he was eager to inform on people he suspected of being subversives. Who benefits from pretending Walesa was the only one pressured into informing under that system? Who would want to tear that man down any further than he already has been? Has he ever claimed to've done more than his best under trying circumstances?

Commented in Grand Theft Auto 5: A New Perspective
“It’s a very intense, in-your-face experience… literally,” says Rob Nelson, the Animation Director on GTA 5. “Obviously, we felt like one of the most compelling things you could do to make an experience people have had before feel different was the new first-person mode.”
This! Really looking forward to trying the FPS mode.

Commented in Legal Pot in the US Is Crippling Mexican Cartels
“The DEA doesn’t want the drug war to end,” said Nelson, when asked about a possible connection between the agency’s hatred of legal pot and its buddies in Sinaloa. “If it ends, they don’t get their toys and their budgets. Once it ends, they aren’t going to have the kind of influence in foreign government. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but where there’s smoke there’s probably fire.”
Perfect example of an agency that has grown into a cancer, looking out for its own interests instead of the interests of the citizens this agency is serving. If I break my leg, I will use a crutch to help me walk, but once my leg is better the crutch becomes a burden to me, and so I retire it until such a time that it is needed again. It would be ridiculous to walk around with two good legs and a crutch...

“They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time.” Nelson Mandela will never die.
