"I've given up trying to figure out certain countries, and their people."<br>
<br>
Welcome to the Middle East, private Tiberius...<br>
Your stay will be one of innumerable puzzlements.<br>
I spent eight months in Lebanon in 1978 and I am strill trying to figure out several things..<br>
Never give up, man. There MUST be a logical reason...<br>
<br>
And a "human shield" type of story, but a "soft" version. This cute little french actress was one of the main persons in a protest type movement called DAL, the french acronym for "a right to a home". Those people demand no less that free homes be provided to all in need, including the illegal immigrants. And she was all over the TV at prime time, leading demonstrations and stuff.<br>
Then one day some mean, nasty paparazzi, specialized in hunting stars decided to play a trick on her. They gathered a family if illegal immigrants from Mali.<br>
A man, his two wives and their seven or eight children...<br>
And in that company the went knocking at the young actresse's door.<br>
Since she lived in a seven bedroom condo with two baths, AC, valet parking and swimming pool on the roof, they told her they figured that being such a militant and all that she was ready to sacrifice a bit of privacy to help..<br>
Guess what? She refused. Quite violently actually. She threatened to call the police and everything. And meanwhile of course, the camera was rolling, with the sound..<br>
Ever since we definitely see much less of her on the eight o'clock news, for some reason..<br>
Hee hee hee hee<br>
Amongts us elitistic journalist persons we call those guys "the rats".<br>
But by Jupiter, sometimes, I do love rats! <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub45.ezboard.com/bromanarmytalk.showUserPublicProfile?gid=antoninuslucretius@romanarmytalk>Antoninus Lucretius</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://localhost:1094/Homesteads/_1750094854/files/Cesar_triste.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 8/14/03 10:40 pm<br></i>
