I agree wholeheartedly. The fact is that 42 days is not needed.

However, it is sometimes about the lesser of two evils with regards human life. Else are you arguing that Nelson Mandela is a fool? "It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."

He was willing to give up his life for his ideals. His death is the lesser of two evils when compared with the other evil; the lack of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities.

The right to freedom is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. It would be the lesser of two evils. A life without freedom is no life for me.
