Perhaps I am not looking in the right places (or indeed, not looking in the wrong places!) but perhaps when people discuss such a topic you are confusing the economic term of 'free market', denoting a market free of restriction in the form of government control or taxes with an actual "free" market where nobody pays for anything? ???It is also apparent from your previous posts that you are not opposed to partaking in free samples yourself.. "People in glass houses" and all that. :PQuote from: kitkat82 on December 15, 2012, 04:34 amAnd Che Guevara was a murderer, a sadist and a severely twisted individual. He has been idealized by a bunch of psuedo intellectual assholes in Universities. If anyone researches him for more than 20 minutes they will quickly see that he achieved what he did through mass murder. He is NOT a role model or a revolutionary. Pisses me off to see morons who buy into that marketing crap. Wearing T shirts and stupid shit,and they have no idea the man is a south american hitler.He LIVED IN A FUCKING MANSION IN CUBA!!! HE WAS IN CHARGE OF THE EXECUTIONS OF INNOCENT PEOPLE...PEOPLE LIKE US."Ironically enough, the same rebellious youths who wear Che Guevara shirts most likely would've been targeted by Guevara had they grown up in Cuba. Guevara considered anyone who listened to rock and roll music, who wore his hair long, or who spoke up against him a delinquent. His very goal was to, "make individualism disappear from the nation!" He considered it, "criminal to think of individuals!" Perhaps these young American individualists should think twice before brandishing the picture of a man who persecuted "hippies, homosexuals, free-thinkers and poets," and who employed constant surveillance, control, and repression.For some, these actions can be defended as necessary for Guevara to achieve his ultimate objective of the betterment of the people of Cuba. But I wager that supporters would have a harder job defending Guevara's position as Fidel's chief executioner. In a passage from his famous "Motorcycle Diaries," he quotes himself as saying, "My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood." At the same time, he wrote a letter to his father describing his newfound hobby, "I'd like to confess, Papa, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing." "I thought that my sarcasm - in reply to a tongue-in-cheek comment from Lim - would have been evident from the "Ch bobble-heads" suggestion.. The things people sometimes have in their cars with oversized heads that.. well.. bobble?! ???I am not debating the merits of, or methods employed by, Ch Guevara in the pursuit of his goals; I am, however, standing by the points I made in relation to Silk Road being revolutionary, and that it is more than "just a business", both to its creator, and many of its users.- grahamgreene
