since then he has become a hero to most americans well respected humanitarian and survivor
as a kid we didnt see things that way all we knew is we wanted to float like a butterfluy and sting like a beerolling on the floor laughing
Same with most great man and those not so great, the most event in their lives that is feared is to be misunderstood, or wrongly labelled. In his home Ali has on top of his fireplace, a copy of the Holy Bible and the Coran ... his adeals and principles are sound and more than many others with warped mentalities or hidden agendas could understand, or wanted to.
Whitehorse,

Why did you say that Ali had "wasted 30 years of his life?"
Were just going into winter here, temps drop to 0 degrees at night and early morning, but the day is like warm. I had a go at boxing a while ago now, trained for two years, but they wouldn't put me in the ring ... so I quit. I'm glad I did now, I look at ali and how his voice has slured, to much knocks to the head I reckon.

Mau, I'm gonna take a wild guess why he wasted 30 years, I think all ali done for his people and the country was in vain, in the end. Like most activist, the goverment just can't wait to get rid of a solution, in this case ali.

Here in our country our old people (100 year ago or more), were fighting the british to keep them out of our country. Since too many of our people had died, they rose the white flag and decided no more shall die. Instead the old people signed a declearation of independence for our people, to protect our rights. Later the old people signed the treaty of waitangi, for the same purpose, our people were suposed to be self govened. Today the goverment is trying to re-nag on what I know was a contact between the Queen and Maori.

Our old people wasted their time and effort nearly. We still fight on, but with paper in this era.

I belive we are the last ones left with such a contract..
hello guys, specifically my friend Manupassant... please note i did not say Ali waisted 30 years of his life. i admire this man and helped to write documentaries about him at pelican studios in 1987, i also have letters from him. the words at their best i presented in the subject blog, are Mr. Ali's own words. they are not my words reflecting on him. ok friends?
You're a good guy, Ru4eva.

You've got soul. A living, breathing soul.
Elections comming soon mau, look whats going to happen..haha
