Lets not get carried away

That's a pretty cool tune. Reminded me of the vibe on Get Back; Beatles w/Billy Preston. Raunchier though.

Sarchi,

 

Is that pic in your signature line George Clooney? ;-)

 

George Clooney has bad taste in cigars. And bad breath. Ok, I made that part up.

 

The pic is of course Dr. Ernesto "Che" Guevarra, medic, thinker and revolutionary. (motorcycle rider too)

Or "The Butcher", as my grandfather knew him.

yeah seriously. If you want someone really cool and revolutionary on your shirt, theres much better options. Like Ghandi or MLK.

Have you read any of Ghandi's writings when he first gained notoriety? But he's crazy racist. Hates black people. I'm not jumping on you here at all, I was surprised myself. One fact that he always tried to get across to people was that people from India are not people from Africa. Whatever you do, do not mistake an Indian for an African.... Africans' are lazy, stupid, so on... Yikes.

 

But anyway.

FUCK Ghandi. Total and utter pretentious asshole.

 

His theories on "pacifism" are whack to the point of criminality. F'rinstance? He espoused that the Jews should kill themselves and deny the Nazis the pleasure of annihilating them -- that was Ghandi's solution to the Holocaust. As a Jew who lost many relatives to the gas chambers, I have no use for that sort of pacifism.

Probably because he and Castro kicked ass, literally. Booted the capitalist oppressors right out of Cuba, and ushered in a new day of, well... Soviet style oppression. :punch

 

I agree Che's image is over commercialized to the point of being repugnant now. But I've always liked the pic below.

"If I were a Jew and were born in Germany and earned my livelihood there, I would claim Germany as my home even as the tallest Gentile German might, and challenge him to shoot me or cast me in the dungeon; I would refuse to be expelled or to submit to discriminating treatment. And for doing this I should not wait for the fellow Jews to join me in civil resistance, but would have confidence that in the end the rest were bound to follow my example. If one Jew or all the Jews were to accept the prescription here offered, he or they cannot be worse off than now. And suffering voluntarily undergone will bring them an inner strength and joy [...] the calculated violence of Hitler may even result in a general massacre of the Jews by way of his first answer to the declaration of such hostilities. But if the Jewish mind could be prepared for voluntary suffering, even the massacre I have imagined could be turned into a day of thanksgiving and joy that Jehovah had wrought deliverance of the race even at the hands of the tyrant. For to the God-fearing, death has no terror."

 

He never said the Jews should kill themselves.
