Who is your favourite/the greatest human?

Good fucking shout mate. A poet and a genius.
 
Debatable, another person in charge could have ignored Mandela and international pressure. DeClerk I believe was very brave and decent (he saw apartheid was wrong) everyone lauds Mandela but it took a willing government to finally seek an end to a disgraceful system
Not to diminish his role in it, but is that not like giving Kennedy and Johnson the credit for the 1964 Civil Rights Act ahead of Martin Luther King and the various others who fought for years to make it happen? Or even David Cameron for introducing gay marriage?

It's fine to praise people in power when they do the right thing, but I'm not sure it qualifies them as the "greatest human" above people who fought often for decades at great personal cost to bring about the change.
