9th October 1967. the world without voice cried ernesto guevara de la sierna called "Che". 40 years ago a great man of our era died by enemies hands, Bolivian military and CIA. a man who became a hero, a mito who is died for an ideal and that unfortunately is became also a piece of merchandising, but this is another point. If we can still find a flag, a t-shirt with his face is because that man changed the mentality of some people, he has been the proof that is possible to hear injustices also far away, and that to spend a life to put the end at that injustices doesn't mean to waste the life. of course he is not the only one who did it, he is just the emblem of them, the emblem of the freedom.

the merchandising product you were talking about...
People always wanted to have symbols, something or somebody to represent ideas and ideologies cause this way they get more immediate and accessible by people. Che was a great man, he was one of the few who showed that fighting for your ideas and beating this fight is not an utopia. Personally, I prefer to have Che in my heart, I dont like pictures, posters, keyrings or other products that have been depicting him for years in an effort to turn him into a pop idol. Lets keep his figure what it has to be and what he would want it to be...
And, in the meantime, I have returned from my very-well deserved, yet short-in-time, hollidays.
Like we say in Portugal:
"Já Che...ga de papo para o ar. Vai mas é trabalhar, malandro."
Anyway, nice post and my best regards to you all.
