Desmund Tutu Speaks

Thanks to my other nephew, I was able to get a free ticket to see Desmond Tutu speak (as part of the PeaceJam Festival). It was a simple and direct message, "Making Friends Out of Enemies", but one well worth hearing these days. He spoke for about 20 minutes and then answered questions that had been previously sent in for another 15 minutes or so. One of the funnier moments was when MPR's Kerri Miller asked him what he though Bush's legacy would be. He side-stepped it nicely by remarking that he thought Laura Bush would be remembered for her concern on Burma, then proceeded to tiptoe off of the stage to thunderous applause ( & laughter ). For my part, it was quite rewarding to hear someone with that much impact on World History speaking. If you get the chance to see him in person, I highly recommended it.
