How Many of You Wear the Che T-shirts?

Why do you wear it? Are you madly in love with the communistic philosophy? Or, do you really idolize terrorists and killers? I cannot believe so many of our young people are wearing this symbol, paying homage to a murderer, who's wish is to see Americans destroyed. Even the foolish rock singers are wearing the shirt. One black singer wears the shirt and frankly, I'm puzzled as to why. Che thinks people of color should be crushed. He thinks they are useless drunks, not worthy of notice and yet, this singer, proudly wears this destroyer's face on his body. But then, our leaders think Mao is a great philosopher. Who cares that he, too, oppresses human rights. Evidently, they have forgotten he destroyed thousands of people for no earthly reason other than to show his power. Our politicians and entertainers hug Chavez and laud his accomplishments, while he speaks against their country and its residents. Are we so dumb that we really think these people are worth even cursatory worship? Why are we giving them power by pushing their agenda. Just wearing their symbols pushes their agendas; speech isn't necessary, i.e., a picture is worth a thousand words.

I have a good experiment for anyone who usualy wears a che tshirt to try out. Put the following quote from Che Guevara on a t-shirt without his picture on it, walk around with it for a day and see what happens to you..."the black is indolent and fanciful, he spends his money on frivolity and drink; the European comes from a tradition of working and saving which follows him to this corner of America and drives him to get ahead."

If that didn't get someone's attention, nothing would! I find it so difficult to believe that people wear this stuff without knowing what they are really doing. Our laziness in not knowing the background of people like Che, Mao and Chavez, stuns me.

That's the saddest part of a fad like this. It spreads without the wearers knowing how much they are giving comfort to the enemy, because they have no idea who the face really belongs to.
