Writings on the current state of affairs in Lebanon...by Michelle Orange
Michelle Orange reads from a piece about her recent, harrowing travels through Lebanon.
Thank you so much for giving us something inside Beirut. I recall being on some social networking site during that harrowing time of mutual invasion with Israel and writing everyone I could find from there to tell them they were really, really cool people and to take good care of themselves. I mean, they're My Spacers, ya know?and there's just no "they" about them. (Anyone can find out about this for themselves.) Since when has anyone gone back? It got so quiet. No, I admit I didn't know they didn't have a Prime Minister now. No matter how hopeless things might seem, the "bei" "rut," it's pronounced like ROOT. It will grow again. It's got Mount Carmel there--one of the power points of the Planet! Thanks for going into the Roman site, BTW. I hope someone from Lebanon hears this audio and knows that the finest Americans think highly of the Lebanese people. Such a travesty, such a shock to the physical system, ya know? No wonder that guy was so frozen in place. These are cool kids, beautiful people. (Loved the joke about the Awld Ninnies :)Thank you for bringing back some of the news. Thank you.
