As if many/any of the 15 year old kids you write about actually read any of Che's writing.
I am an advocate for reading (and not necessarily following) a wide variety of writings.
Hell, I even read Mein Kampf. That doesn't make me a Nazi. What it does is give me an insight into the psyche of the person whom wrote those words and the motivations behind their subsequent actions.
I was a History major in college and read volumes of material, some of which enlightened and inspired me, some of which I detested and depressed me, and some which I still cannot fully fathom.
For me, it is less about the destination (especially a predetermined one), but more about the journey.
I applaud your "passion" and enjoy most of your posts...
