The Capacity for Self-Delusion and the Divorce from Reality

This is an interesting read, and I can tell you campus leftists haven't a clue about actual history.  Who would dare to wear a Mao t-shirt who actually knew what the man did?  But the oblivious undergrad whom I saw sporting such an outfit on campus recently clearly hadn't the foggiest notion that he was wearing the face of a man responsible for the deaths of tens of millions.  Ditto the airheads with the Che Guevara shirts (I know I've ranted about them before), clueless about the bloody thuggery of their fake hero.  OK, OK, everyone is allowed some youthful idealistic foolishness.  But you gotta grow up sometime.
