Continuing with our red theme this morning, El PaleoFreak has some radical imagery. The bourgeois Darwin would have freaked.
Look — you can get them on a t-shirt! (Errm, wait — isn't combining Darwin, Che, and the rampant capitalism of CafePress an example of head-exploding irony?)
Yes, it is.
While watching DVDs yesterday, I saw a trailer for a movie about Che Guevara, whose name is not new to me, but who I know relativetly little about.While watching DVDs yesterday, I saw a trailer for a movie about Che Guevara, whose name is not new to me, but who I know relativetly little about. The movie had several quotes, and to avoid falling into the first one:
Che is a cultural icon because of his capacity to provoke empathy among the spoiled youth of the affluent west
-- A review of the book Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life published in The American spextator
I'd like to learn more. I've already google'd and wikipedia'd things. The next step I guess is to go to the library and check out the movie. Nelson Mandella said that "Che Guevara is an inspiration for every human being who loves freedom." But I'd like to be able to judge for myself.
Oddly, someone at work whom I don't think is too bright likes to quote Jean-Paul Sartre who said that "Che was the most complete human being of our age." I bet that is something that my co-worker would be taken aback by.
