If nothing else, Che stood up and fought for what he believed in and never took no for an answer. He even died fighting for his beliefs, something we could all learn from.<BR/><BR/>In a day and age where nobody has a backbone and governments go against the will of the people throughout the world, its a shame that we do not have strong leaders anymore.<BR/><BR/>I have always found it Ironic that the ICON of communism, socialism and comrade life should be a POP ICON in the countries he fought so hard to defeat Something about buying a Che t-shirt at a FootLocker seems wrong!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-24330938940647107052008-06-02T15:13:00.000-03:002008-06-02T15:13:00.000-03:00Ironic indeed.

Though I think irony is only what we see when we can't understand complexity - the fact that things aren't so clear-cut as they seem.<BR/><BR/>Myself, I respect the ideas that Ernesto Guevara fought for, but I'd rather not have anyone like him trying to implement them on my country in the same way as it was done in Cuba. I think the statue is a good idea; it reminds us of a great man, with equally great faults, that was born here. And it's good for tourism, too. In my one of my previous articles about this I commented that having a visible reminder of someone is a good way to get people to think about that person's life and work.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08296074005654785159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-46358893393085308422008-06-02T09:43:00.000-03:002008-06-02T09:43:00.000-03:00Ironic how the Che statue arrives in Rosario at th...Ironic how the Che statue arrives in Rosario at the height of the Farmers Protest.<BR/><BR/>The model of equality, sharing and official opposition of big business to be honored in a city that is currently the center of protests against those very beliefs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132273.post-43805823198194599512008-06-02T09:40:00.000-03:002008-06-02T09:40:00.000-03:00That statue is impressive...!
