So many foreign worlds, so relatively fucked.

Che Guevara’s farewell letter to his children Dear Hildita, Aledita, Camilo, Celia, and Ernesto:  If you read this letter one day, it will be because I am no longer with you. You will hardly remember me, and the smaller ones will not remember at all.  Your father has been a man who acted on his beliefs and has been absolutely loyal to his convictions.  Grow up as good revolutionaries. Study hard so that you can master technology, which allows us to master nature. Remember that it is the Revolution which is important and that each of us, taken in isolation, is worth nothing. Above all, always be capable of feeling any injustice committed against anyone, anywhere in the world. This is the most beautiful quality in a revolutionary. Yours, always, my children. I still hope to see you… A big kiss and a strong hug from Poppa Dr. Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevera, executed by Bolivian Army special forces, assisted by the CIA Special Activities Division, La Higuera, Bolivia, October 9, 1967.

And yes, the Founding Fathers wanted you to have the right to bear arms, but the guys who wrote that would pee through all eight layers of their pants if they saw what guns are now. In 1787 shooting a bullet was slightly faster than throwing one. If you wanted to be bulletproof in 1787 you put on a heavy coat. So with that in mind, I’m all about Americans having guns as long as they’re the muskets from 1787 that take forever to load.”
