Tell me what you love and i'll tell you who you are

A few weeks ago, the Siniora government started putting these posters up around Beirut.



The excellent Lebanese artist Mazen Kerbaj has come up with his own reply:



Translated, it reads:

i do not
LOVE LIFE

and i do not
LOVE COLORS

and i do not
LOVE BLACK AND WHITE

and i do not even
LOVE grey

and i do not
LOVE ANYTHING AND ANYONE

is it possible that i also
WANT TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY

If you want to understand what this is all about, read this. I'm sure our readers in Beirut will have something to say. Razan?

I love the blog that you have. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and in return I would do the same for your blog. If you want to, my site name is American Legends and the URL is:

www.americanlegends.blogspot.com

If you want to do this just go to my blog and in one of the comments just write your blog name and the URL and I will add it to my site.

Thanks,
David
