PoP KulTure ... Bah

Charles Manson died this last Sunday.   An interview on NPR labeled Manson as a sociopath.  The piece, also, reported pop cultures facination with  Manson as some kind of folk figure.  

Why?  Why take  the life of a mentally ill individual and polish it up for what?  

Pop Kulture also dotes on Joseph Stalin and che Guevara.  

Guevara raises issues.He stirs feelings positive, mysterious.    Manson and Stalin do not.
