Last week one of our classmates made a comment about Che Guevera and his tendency to be Romanticized by Latin Americans, and in some cases, by citizens of the U.S. Even though it's technically not a case of Romanticism in the U.S.A., I couldn't resist posting this because it's such a great example of what Twain criticizes in "Huck Finn."

I love the phrase the write-in listener uses at the end of her comment: "false heroes to get lost in." How do we, as Americans, get "lost" in heroes?
