Joseph Campbell observed that what makes a hero's journey is their belief in the cause their fighting for (no matter what we as the observers might think of it), and there's no doubt that Che was as dedicated to his as any. Unfortunately the cause can betray a hero.Francis Scudellarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008685302028451297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898489019646958343.post-18343444272182483232010-04-20T23:33:04.137-05:002010-04-20T23:33:04.137-05:00Rall,

I am not so sure about the nuclear bomb threat, we know that was his demise. But he tried to lead a noble cause nonetheless. You Rall are also in my list of heroes. Please send me the pic I would love to see it.

You're doing some great storytelling here. I like the premise and your tragic description, and reminder of the importance of choosing friends well.
