The wisdom is on the wall, IV

Full of walls, full of wisdom.


Context: A few years ago, the Ecuadorian congress toyed with the idea of legalizing gay marriage. This sentence was first mentionned during the negotiations, which were a ray of hope for the homosexual community. "If your disguize is asfixiating, seize this moment."


"To survive?" A creative-- albeit cynical-- person replaced the trash being thrown away as an example on this bin with hearts...


Context: A few years ago, President Correa put members of the Marine corps in charge of the various Ecuadorian-owned petroleum companies (Petroecuador, Petroamazonas)-- a very controversial move.
"Marines: do business for Correa the pro-imperialist!"

"Communism without political parties."




"Che: Semillero insurgente, Latinoamerica presente". Very hard to translate, so I'll proceed word-for-word. SEMILLERO= seed-bed. INSURGENTE= rebellion. Therefore: Che is a seed-bed for the growth of insurrections and the man who heightened the continent's importance. Weak in English, but very strong in Spanish.
