Jeff Painting Face Flash Game
Ideas have consequencies , come scriveva un autore teocon a noi caro. Le idee hanno conseguenze che toccano il nostro quotidiano e quello dei nostri figli. Ecco, noi siamo convinti di averlo capito molto meglio di altri. E pertanto abbiamo l’immodesta convinzione di poter contribuire al pubblico dibattito con un apporto molto, ma molto, di più qualified than those who simply open a diary in the form of blog, or to spend their days around forum and mailing list for loading into their frustrations and obsessions.
But we got to a point where there is a feeling that is not enough anymore. The political hatred began to invade our daily lives. And so it is in everyday life that we must begin to answer.
The attack on Berlusconi has sent an important signal of what is, moreover, had long been widely understood: we live surrounded by monsters.
is the time to walk around on the Internet, to find out what he thinks real people. What do you think that really connects with that every time you're having dinner together with their wives. What do you really think that knowledge - or even that friend of long standing - that you never forget to get a Christmas card, and maybe it makes you even have a gift for your children.
Evil is banal, as we already knew. But now, realizing there is no need of a gentle and polite neighbor who suddenly confessed to have raped three or four children of asylum, or that he killed his mother on the head with an ashtray. Just the newspaper of the Internet. The above
forum and mailing list have become clogged with people like that. Individuals who, when faced with the keyboard, protected by anonymity and a justified feeling of impunity, they begin to download nauseating sewage. And pretend that they are the fruit of their "freedom of expression," that the tyrant would Berlusconi trampled.
Worse, what does just angry, not so much the infamous and shameful things they say. Rather, it is their belief that you have understood everything, to be people who will not give you to drink, to be the thinking people who are defending freedom and democracy.
We live in Bologna, where he is still alive the political and cultural tradition that we know. Here the feeling to be surrounded by monsters is really strong, much more than elsewhere.
We turn on the street, climb on the bus, and we see ourselves surrounded by people with Republic or The Fact newspaper under his arm. People who seem normal. Indeed, it is normal: they have a job, a family (usually made or extended family, but this time is the same), tastes, interests and social relations which might well involve us. Do not go around in an undershirt, and they have a shaved head or a tattoo on his neck.
Yet, if they had written on his forehead that I really think that Mr. B. and the Italian political situation (so that for them there is no difference most do not distinguish between Berlusconi and the rest of the world), there would really be intimidated.
The feeling is just to be sealed in the famous film by Carpenter, They Live . The one where the aliens living among us, and were wandering the streets with wrist watches unsuspecting receivers, to report their suspicions to the human central stop. In the movie the aliens
govern us through television. In fact, it is likely that "they", new monsters, think themselves to be in the same situation, but by most humans.
But then, what? Of course we can not accept the idea of \u200b\u200blowering the tone. Us voice we never lifted more than was appropriate and legitimate. And anyway, he's right Capezzone, really with this story of the lower tones are only proposing the old fable of the wolf and served with the lamb.
On the contrary, we must hold the point for which we are not to muddy the water. E 'unacceptable contrast to Il Giornale Republic, and the excesses of the past today's League to those of Di Pietro. For here there can be no doubt about who is the aggressor and who the attacked. They have the same claim when it comes to the fascists and partisans, that stuff is over sixty years ago, let alone so if we rinunciarci noi, che stiamo vivendo un conflitto che tocca da vicino il presente e il futuro dei nostri figli.
Berlusconi e tutto il Pdl devono stare attenti a non modificare di una virgola la loro azione politica, perché questo equivarrebbe a darla vinta ai violenti. E “loro” lo sanno benissimo.
Ma noi? Beh, intanto bisogna cominciare a modificare il nostro quotidiano. Non è che la guerra non ci coinvolga solo perché non la abbiamo voluta noi, o perchè non ce ne accorgiamo, oppure preferiamo non pensarci come quando non si fanno le analisi perché si ha paura di una brutta diagnosi.
Per prima cosa, quindi, bisogna smetterla di mischiarci a loro, convinti che questo modo accomodante serva a encourage "dialogue" and to pacify the climate. There is no need to disturb political scientists to understand what brings gooders, or theologians to understand that Jesus was actually anything but feel-good.
The true face of Christ today we have just seen a bloody face, not the usual politician or journalist grin on duty. We are not even kindergarten children who must make peace, because the teacher wants it. And then, to be honest, not we fight, we are simply victims of another's blind hatred and unrestrained.
Personally, I avoided for years now to argue about politics or religion on the net with some people. I had no take more from the desire to replicate, by virtue of the aphorism that to argue with an idiot, people might not notice the difference.
But now, the game became hard, and the stakes become higher, there really need to change style.
My friend Camillo would think that this issue can be addressed by opening the case to the scriptures, for inspiration. Right, but do not go to the event. We must know what we do, because this is precisely what distinguishes us from the new monsters.
Thus, the correct quote is this: "If your brother sins, go and admonish ... if you do not listen even to the assembly, be for you as a Gentile and a publican " (Mt, 18, 15-17). Other than the dialogue. Other than "confrontation." And I jumped directly to the intermediate steps, because we can not delude ourselves, the new monsters are people who are not able to listen to anyone but their own.
So deferiamoli first meeting. Denounce to the police post, of what we read on the net.
And since the effort will come to nothing, if not to hold the point (which is already much, it is our duty), we begin to consider even pagans and tax collectors in our social life. No more dinners with their wives. Neither football games. Nor talk the bar.
In fact, I do like the bar and choose carefully where to go for breakfast. First, carefully avoided the ones that, among the papers on the counter, also held Republic. It 's a matter of respect for yourself. It is no longer a question of civil coexistence between those who see the glass half full and those who see it half empty: the reader does not see things even the glass, so you can share something with him. Neither a public space.
And then, even if at first it will cost some sacrifice, begin immediately to remove some names from the phone book. And to remove your account from certain points of discussion in the network, if you're not constrained by their professional reasons.
We are not proposing to surrender to the logic of hatred. Indeed, it is just counter it, not to be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good (Rom, 12, 21). And then, of being true disciples of Christ.
There are in fact asking to hate them in turn. We are not not like them, omnipresent on the pain of the enemy. Moreover, there are already those who forgave them, and then no one denies that we should love them as our neighbors, once we saw them in trouble, so instead of snarling and arrogant.
It 'just forgive them, as did Jesus But remember that, as has been to the Samaritan woman and the leper, to merit forgiveness should they intended to sin no more. They however have no intention of doing so. Let us not forget that the only difference between the new monsters and psychologically pitcher souvenirs is that they sometimes are cowards, and certainly more aware of the consequences. However, if they could do the same thing with the certainty of impunity, would even the uproar that followed.
They are bandits, not the man beaten and left half dead on the road to Jericho. So it is with them that we have to be good Samaritans.
Moreover, the spiritual works of mercy ask admonish sinners and counsel the doubtful. Admonish, not dialogue. Advise, not to confront.
Therefore, it is simply to practice writing, and then treat them as they deserve.
I know, the first time could be annoying. It 's like quitting smoking or dieting. But then you will gain in health, especially in respect of yourself and the community.

Is There A Diffrence Between Laptop Memories
Dear Mr. Director. Tarquin
if not thrown so brazen in politics was better.
We sympathized with much less embarrassment to a man who was wrongly seen nailed to a mistake. We would have done without reservations, as children of that the Church always teaches us not to judge, and to distinguish between sin and the sinner.
However, it is not respectful of your readers to continue to pretend that we are all so biased and gullible is not to be noticed that the ruling still exists, and that you're not just talking about an anonymous letter.
When Dr. Boffo has not even wanted to make public acts, and honor to the full truth, it was insulting to our intelligence to bet everything on the theory of libel and slander.
Okay, we are Catholics living in the world, so we men of the world, as well as charitable people. We understand that bad luck can happen in life to leave the phone unattended, and to have so betrayed by a wayward friend who used to molest a girl, plus he knows us.
can happen, for further misfortune, that friend ends up dying before they can accommodate all take the blame in the court ... and can also happen to be incredibly unlucky then goes to end the lawsuit but the call girl molested then does a time, or forgets, or refuses or whatever ... but in the end is not to say to the judge hearing your voice and then know that you were not the abuser, so they must perform.
And just to not to miss anything, it can also happen that when because of that incredible event, after a few years you are in contempt before the world as harassers and "known homosexuals," here, just then - at worst - it can happen that the same girl, hiding behind the no comment, and once again not even consider the case that was the harasser was another bad story, and in that homosexuality had nothing to do.
So, you may occasionally end up being affected as a result of a series of unlucky coincidences. But maybe at that point should be a bit 'of caution before you start shouting slander and libel, if it happens that a colleague's uncharitable you reproach the thing in front of everyone and do not even want him, as judges, to believe what has been your unfortunate story.
Yet you just installed as the interim Director , instead of trying to turn the page and blind us, we immediately asked to judge just on that matter and on the theory of defamation. With an impenetrability to the evidence of the facts - especially when he brought up the television - which frankly we would have expected from her, having read his articles.
In that part of the public still can not think of deployment criteria, you are given the idea that communication between people of Catholic logic family (In the worst sense of the word) takes precedence over everything. Also on that love for the truth in love, that we've been called recently by Pope Benedict.
In a country where now, at least in some quarters, even the kids who go home with a bad report card are tempted to blame Berlusconi, did not feel the need to see your journal so shamelessly with this easy to cede recall.
It has lost all credibility Future , and frankly has been astonished to see that this so decomposed to face the unpleasant question was adopted, first, by the highest representative of your "publisher".
Cardinal Bagnasco was really the minimum to expect more caution. It is unacceptable that this has not taken that he represents a group of newspapers, but all the Italian bishops, while Victor Felts, by contrast, represents only a newspaper, not the head of government.
In these situations, arguing only between peers, and the manner and tone befitting the reality that it represents, would have been more than appropriate.
So, dear Director, she has explicitly asked readers to judge: it is not so sure of their opinion.

Can You Fix A Broken Micro Sd Card?
speak of the scandal concerning the future of manager . Meanwhile, we begin to wonder why none of the secular media has yet named, although it is one of those itchy events that usually attract an instant healthy first hail of stones on anything that smells even remotely of the Church. According to us - and we think the worst aspect of the whole story - what happened is also and above all a lost opportunity for the Catholic world.
Mind you, there was nothing to get too many illusions. However, in principle, this unfortunate situation could become even before the explosion, for pastors and all the intellectuals truly Catholic a wonderful opportunity to reaffirm in front of everyone, high and strong, a real lesson in secularism. Of those that only the Catholic culture that secularism was invented, it would be able to give, if only they showed less unconscious of itself.
First, by the leadership of CEI, he would have insisted on the concept that the Church condemns sin but never the sinner. Possibly, it should have been done in Caritatis room before the scandal broke, making news comes with holy prudence, the same ear Dino Boffo. In fact - as also pointed to the influential Vittorio Messori - the story of the sentence harassment had long been well known in the Episcopal, and more. Perhaps in this way could be achieved by Future greater discretion on the private matters of the Prime Minister. In the chorus of the secular press would not have certainly felt the lack of voice of the newspaper of the CEI, and if the thing could have a look on the publisher's director of censorship, well, who cares.
Moreover, to feel the same Avvenire, the position (after all moderate) on the alleged events of sexual premier was not spontaneous but had been requested by throngs of disappointed readers that the newspaper of Bishops have claimed greater severity and moral rigor against the outrageous (to do) the Knight libertinism. What you read in the editorial Boffo, in well over a parish of the beautiful country, where the able pastors every Sunday put Future bench of good press, we were advancing grim suspicion of cowardice, or worse, to compromise with Sodom and Gomorrah, the power of Berlusconi.
Precisely for this reason, therefore, from the bishops would have spoken loud and clear, in advance, just to the public of the Catholic faithful.
First, he could remember them, and everyone, that it was Catholicism that invented the possibility stessa di un approccio “laico” al rapporto del popolo con i governanti.
Infatti, è stato il cattolicesimo – e nessun altro – ad avere portato nel mondo la distinzione tra l’autorità spirituale e quella temporale. Senza l’esperienza storica della Chiesa cattolica, il potere secolare in Europa non avrebbe mai lasciato a nessun altra autorità il diritto di definire, in ultima istanza, cosa è morale e cosa non lo è. Tant’è che tutte le forme di governo che si sono succedute nel nostro Continente, dall’Editto di Costantino in poi, in un modo o nell’altro questo potere hanno sempre cercato di riprenderselo.
La storia della civiltà occidentale ci insegna that the relationship between the Church and the secular power has never been so troubled dialectic and on any issue, as on that of the right to have the last word on the morality of the rulers and the ruled. The most bitter disputes
between popes and emperors, ultimately, always referred to this crucial principle. There is no need to bother Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli, to prove the claim to absolute moral autonomy of the civil power, which also dates back many centuries before the Renaissance. At least since the time of the investiture controversy. Indeed, even before that, let's say from the time of Pope Gelasius I (late fifth century), who first formulated the theory of separation of powers, against the caesaropapism of the Byzantine tradition.
The history of this troubled relationship is nothing less than the history of secularism. E 'Catholicism was in fact the need to bring to the world - is now being claimed as a "secular" - a clear separation of the spiritual power to interpret the moral standards that God expects from men compared to temporal power in regard to the Government of policy.
Before the advent of the Catholic Church, in ancient societies all this religious power belonged to the civil power. E 'hardly necessary to recall that the Roman Emperor was also pontifex maximus , ie l’unico autorizzato interprete del rapporto tra gli uomini e la divinità, e quindi delle norme morali.
Ancora nel IV secolo, fu Costantino a convocare il Concilio di Nicea, nella convinzione – indiscussa ai suoi tempi – che l’Imperatore fosse il massimo responsabile delle questioni religiose. Dunque, solo per questo si deve riconoscere che è stata la Chiesa di Roma a “inventare” la laicità, togliendo al potere politico il compito sacrale di definire le norme della morale pubblica e privata. Un compito che, come vedremo, in Europa è ritornato nelle mani del potere “laico” solo con la riforma protestante. A seguito della quale, non a caso, le chiese sono tornate a essere “nazionali”, and to recognize the king as their supreme leader.
It is therefore not a quirk of history, nor the expression of a greater sense of civic duty, if they are still countries in the Protestant tradition those who place greater emphasis on sexual morality of their leaders. And at the same time, it is not a coincidence that the popular press in the Anglo-Saxon world wallows in a bed of political events with a delight that, prior to the event Noemi, Italy had not really ever seen.
To explain it, let us take it a bit 'at a distance, which unfortunately is necessary. In 1525, Martin Luther, to maintain the political support necessary for the dissemination of his theological reform, wrote to the Princes German (just waiting), the famous Exhortation to Peace that was considered legitimate use of brute force against the rebellious peasants of Swabia.
This is because, according to the great religious reformer, if any legitimate authority comes from God, the rulers were not to be bound by the moral law in suppressing the revolt of the peasants who had "took the sword without divine authority" . From this it follows that "a prince can, spilling blood, earning heaven" .
Luther concluded his letter with an exhortation to the present day, deep down, it would be very pleased to loyalists Antonio Di Pietro: "dear sirs, exterminated, slaughtered, strangled, and who can use it" .
Now what does this historical background with modern secularism and even more with the gossip about Mister B. and Mrs. D'Addario? A factor, a factor, because it is the Protestant tradition that comes the belief that the private behavior of public figures - especially with regard to the sexual sphere - may never be their only business.
fact in a democratic system, whether it is for the political power finally to determine what is moral and what is immoral, then it can not the fact that being a legitimate - even vital - that voters will affect the private morals of our politicians.
In a similar set of values, the people can legitimately expect that, after the elections, the private morality of the Prime Minister will be the same that will be claimed by them. E 'for this reason that the private virtues and vices of politicians in countries that have experienced the Calvinism in all its various forms, still become automatic in a deal that covers all citizens.
Precisely because of the lack of a spiritual authority distinct from the politics, the culture of Protestant mold has become quite natural that - quanto meno nella percezione dell’opinione pubblica – il livello medio dei costumi della nazione venga definito da come si comportano i governanti nel loro privato.
Invece, la cultura cattolica consente di mantenere ben distinti i due piani, proprio perché si basa sul principio per cui ciò che è morale in definitiva lo stabilisce Dio, ma non lo interpreta il Principe, bensì la Chiesa. E comunque, il potere politico non può usare la spada a cuor leggero e di sua autorità, per ripristinare la pubblica moralità violata. Questa ben diversa concezione, d’altra parte, nella storia ha sempre viaggiato in parallelo con il noto principio, altrettanto “laico” nella sua essenza, e parimenti forgotten by those Future, for which the Church condemns sin but never the sinner.
The doctrine of the traditional canonical potestas ecclesiae in temporalibus - so cursed by our laicones the amatriciana, because the mere mention of the phrase in Latin, gives them a sense of oppression and undue interference - has always been the caretaker of this fundamental principle of secularism. In fact, bringing the world the idea that the Prince must be considered subject to the spiritual authority of the Pope, is that it is not worth getting to the civil power lay down on his own canons of morality.
short, if Future or whoever it had spent two lines for this simple ripassino history of political and religious beliefs, perhaps the initiative would have been enough to remind everyone, Catholic or not, that the criterion for which you do not go under the Ravana sheets of public men is just a principle of Catholic culture. That is, of secularism. Why - other thing that should never be forgotten - the secular nature of the man who invented it taught to give to Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's
As is evident, therefore, Burian that has unleashed by the accident happened to the poor Dino Boffo, yes it is a political issue, at least for a few days will involve the relationship between Church and State. But in its essence it is also a theological question, and no morals. Probably for this reason that the Holy See, so attentive to that which is not contingent on the political life of nations, it seems so far tried in some way to mitigate the morality of the Italian bishops' newspaper, regarding the events of private life Cav. and immigration.
And it is always why, in the rough story of the director of Avvenire, the bishops themselves have not only lost a great opportunity to exercise prudence Gospel. The newspaper of the CEI was also well able to remind those of his readers so kind and hard-liners, who tore their clothes for the licentiousness of the premier that one of the most important criteria for life, for a Catholic, should not be to judge not to be judged.
Indeed, once again, it is sad that no one who knew the story of Terni has invoked that golden ear of poor policy Dino Boffo, before exposing himself on the columns of his newspaper to preach to the jolly Berlusconi .
But other than that, more than anything, we regret that the pastors of the Church and especially the Catholic intellectuals have lost the opportunity to give everyone a good lesson in secularism.
L 'Osservatore Romano , almost unheard, at least tried to respond to moral theologians from overwork, like the ineffable Vito Mancuso, the souls that the Catholic Church accepts them and care, not condemnation.
doing the reverse - that is, to condemn the sinner not the sin, as used by the neo-Calvinist Republic of cattocomunisti and their friends - not only the symbol of the morally inferior. And 'well, what interests us most, an expression of total absence of meaning of secularism.
short, it was a missed opportunity, and we hope that next time, if you must there be one, go better. Even if, as things go in the Italian Catholic world there is too much to hope for, if not in the Seat of Wisdom, which is always the best thing to do. And we are asking where is this Seat of Wisdom, and if you are in Rome or elsewhere. Catholics in the pipe.

How To Build A Garage Loft
We feel a bit 'all, for some years to understand what you're trying to do Gianfranco Fini. We, too, so we will give our modest contribution.
We do this willingly, however, because the former leader the MSI gives us one of those rare cases in which the words in the last of the freedom bloggers will never be less authoritative quelle della media degli opinionisti politici.
Infatti, il pensiero e le intenzioni di Fini rappresentano ormai uno di quegli argomenti sui quali chiunque può applicare a cuor leggero, nel suo piccolo, la linea editoriale di Repubblica . Nel senso che si tratta di uno di quei casi in cui le opinioni possono essere completamente svincolate dai fatti.
E poi, si tratta pur sempre di interpretare quel che dovrebbe avvenire dopo il governo Berlusconi. Quindi, siamo in un campo in cui tra il sapere tutto della politica e – come si dice nel baseball – non capirci una mazza, alla fine il risultato è uguale. Possiamo dunque sbizzarrirci a piacere.
Dunque, vorrei inziare col dire che I still remember a public meeting with Gianfranco Fini, which I witnessed, by chance, in the early 90's. Maybe I already told you: I'd cross the street, and - wearing his historic loden - walked up Via San Vitale, Bologna, accompanied by two of his loyalists forever. Knowing
public meeting which was scheduled in the vicinity, I decided to follow him.
When I entered, the room was already filled with a large band of militants, who have just seen approaching the then secretary of the MSI began to stand up and shouting slogans still pretty gruesome for the time. I still remember that, at the precise moment when our arrived at the table of the rapporteur, slogan turned into one deafening chorus "Fine, Fine!" , which went on for a couple of minutes .
At that time were still recent clashes with Congress Pino Rauti, and the divisions between their militants. Fini had just returned to be secretary of the MSI, after being ousted from a historic conference, and then resume the party leadership a year later, in the wake of a resounding electoral defeat.
The wounds of that phase of transition were all still open, and Fini was still a relatively leader weak even in his own party. So, his loyalists in Bologna, with all that noise, rather than render homage to their leader were trying to mark their territory, discouraging any demonstrations of dissent of any infiltration of the opposite faction.
Still, there were very few, even among his own, those who doubted that Fini would be the liquidator of the MSI. Although no one even remotely imagined what would happen in a few months.
At that time, the fall of 1991, Tangentopoli had yet to explode, and only the League was less timidly collecting the protest of the productive classes of the north.
were still missing about three years for customs clearance Fini and the very idea of \u200b\u200bright, which just happens to be the case in the now legendary hall of the mall Casalecchio, just a few miles from where we were that night.
However, Fini has played his entire speech to his feet, never sit down for even a moment, as to want to impose on the audience and never let go. According to the custom ever lost, speaking spontaneously without any notes in front.
Just as it did his master Almirante, all night tried to offer his audience wanted to hear the jokes. In his speech Secretary of the still young, the rhetorical skills that would make him famous, to the point that Today there is even those who call upon him as a statesman, was already present throughout. But on that occasion his tone was much more stentorian, Mussolini, as yet imposed the concepts expressed.
He spoke for half an hour in fact plenty of moral values, law and order, flying very high, as was fitting for those who still can not guess how many would still have had opportunities to play a role, with regard to this and the future of Italian politics. The famous
"Fascism in 2000" thesis of his latest conference was still fully present in this speech. Although - in hindsight - perhaps you could already guess that, at least in his head, and so confused and still embryonic, it was going to find a way out.
More than once he claimed the best tradition of thought right, "... and then fascist" , as I heard him say verbatim. However, in all that his impromptu speech, the evocation of fascism occurred only in those words, added at the end of a sentence, lower a little 'voice. As if it were a concession to the audience, but should remain within the walls.
Here, recalling that evening in Bologna today for nearly two decades ago, are behind the idea that mutations of the Speaker of the House, after all, there is still the attitude of those who would already be elsewhere. But at the same time knows that somewhere else is not, and maybe realize that in politics the miracles are not repeated, and therefore can never be. How well have guessed
those of sheet, probably there is no political strategy behind the conversion of secular Fini. Is not moving in the perspective of the Quirinale. Although, without doubt, a good politician by profession has understood before others that the role of the Dauphin of Berlusconi would eventually crushed, and so he should somehow get rid of.
However, in its search a way out, we believe there are reasons more personal than political.
One of quite a few things that our Speaker of the House agrees with Massimo D'Alema, together with the taste for the ideologies historically losers, is sentenced to be costly - more than honored - of his own intelligence. That is to say that it is condemned to be consistently overestimated, and always being chased by the attempts of others to explain, with some kind of hidden motivations, choices that ultimately, from a political point of view, they represent only the sesquipedalian bullshit.
already had been such a thing when, chasing his note ansia di legittimazione, aveva pensato di smarcarsi dal suo partito prendendo posizione contro la legge sulla fecondazione assistita. Lo ha fatto non senza frasi sprezzanti verso chi la pensava diversamente, nello stesso preciso momento in cui i suoi militanti di AN si stavano mobilitando per difendere quella legge dall’imminente referendum .
La gigantesca tramvata che gli intellettuali laicisti si sono presi in quell’occasione avrebbe dovuto rappresentare, da un punto di vista politico, una sorta di pietra tombale sulle eventuali strategie di avvicinamento di Fini al fronte “laico”.
Il risultato referendario fu infatti talmente eclatante da mostrare in modo addirittura plastico la sproporzione che ancora esiste - In the opinion of the Italians - including the Church's credibility and that of mainstream intellectuals who dominates the media.
But, still, the ineffable Gianfranco seems willing to try again, threatening dramatic gestures of disassociation from the law on living wills, even in contrast with that institutional profile that until now seemed to have become the leitmotif of his entire action policy. And beyond all decided to do so in the days when all the others, by the allies to opponents (which is in the case of Fini now no longer be distinguished), are wiggling to get the attention of the Catholic world - Or what purports to be - recognizing what a good relationship with the Church is essential to rule the Italian democracy.
Here, precisely, in our opinion for these reasons alone can not be a political choice, not a strategy for the future.
Well, in hindsight, only one that cares about his political future may come to think of coming down from the bench chairman of the House - with unprecedented action - to go on the benches of the deputies to vote against the majority who hoisted the office. It is not what you'd expect from a reasonable man. Even less so from a politician that, moreover, is in the fortunate position where there is already who took him for a statesman, and perhaps could even aspire to go to the Quirinal.
Only, as we said, our Gianfranco shares with Massimo D'Alema being affected by the overvaluation of others. The journalist, and in general the intellectual who must prove to himself and others to be a keen interpreter of politics, in general, made a great effort to understand the flight Fini is just a fucking fucked up.
Instead, the key to interpreting the gestures of rupture of our Speaker of the House probably is entirely outside the political logic. It is to be found today in the way in which, almost twenty years ago, we heard almost imperceptibly lower la voce, mentre aggiungeva in fondo a una frase quell’inciso “…e quindi fascista” .
Non si sta insinuando che, nel suo intimo, già si vergognasse di esserlo stato, per carità. Anzi, è significativo che oggi Fini abbia deciso di scegliere il laicismo, proprio nel momento in cui esso sta dimostrando di essere l’ideologia più perdente, sorpassata e senza prospettive del nostro tempo.
Una simile scelta, così poco “politica”, vorrà pure dire che tra i tanti difetti che il nostro può avere, ancora oggi, non vi è certo la paura di essere in minoranza.
Anzi, al contrario, da un punto di vista strettamente politico, secondo noi Fini è ancora oggi vittima di un’attrazione incoercibile per le idee più perdenti di ciascuna epoca. Scegliere proprio oggi di essere laicisti duri e puri non è tanto diverso, dal punto di vista della credibilità e delle prospettive politiche, dall’aver scelto di essere neofascisti trenta o quarant’anni fa.
Quindi, non è tanto la politica a ispirare le mosse di Gianfranco Fini. Secondo noi si tratta di un uomo molto più impolitico di quanto non suggeriscano la sua carriera e la sua posizione. Per questo è così difficile interpretarlo, per tutti noi che ci attendiamo che ragioni secondo le categorie proprie della sua professione (aspettativa che, peraltro, è assai più saggia e ragionevole than that of politicians who claim - or pretend to expect - only the moral integrity, as demonstrated by the events of recent months).
probably at the bottom of the choices of Fini's still just his desire to be elsewhere, and now that is no longer leader of any party finally feels liberated from the burden of having to always give his audience the joke that is expected of him, as he had taught Almirante.
So, those who are wrong - just because it is a professional politician, plus clever and good looking - still expect Gianfranco Fini is still consistent with what was stato e che non è più.
E non sarà più quello, almeno per i prossimi quattro o cinque anni. Ma questo è già un altro discorso.

Ho To Keep Cats Off Counter
Molti anni fa, quando ero ancora un ragazzino, per un certo periodo ho abitato a Forlì.
Tuttora ho l’impressione che la Romagna abbia conservato una particolare vocazione per l’accoglienza di quei personaggi un po’ svitati – e talora matti da legare – che una volta si incontravano facilmente nelle piazze centrali di paesi e cittadine.
Erano soggetti stravaganti ma solitamente innocui, anche se un po’ fastidiosi. Tutti quanti, però, li conoscevano e li rispettavano, e spesso volevano loro anche bene.
There was always someone who takes the trouble to warn the few strangers who picked their nagging presence, lest they become irritated and react badly. And always, among the people of the country, there were those who took care of them, worrying that they had to dress and where to sleep, or at worst giving them a cappuccino and a croissant (though of course those involved would have preferred toast with yet another glass of wine) when they saw them too shabby.
Nobody contradicted these little cute characters of many urban legends, when they began to strike up a button with those who passed through the square, staring, or to improvise meetings, or otherwise disturb others with their antics. And this is not so much for fear of finding trouble, as is done today with the beggars and hawkers washer, but because they are considered part of the community, and they were really.
Once it was thought that even the village idiot they were protected by God and therefore sacred persons. Of subjects so there were many in Bologna, and I think I have met them all during the college years.
Just recently released an instant-book is visionary, and sometimes even prophetic, excellent Danilo "Maso" Masotti, entitled "The Code of Bologna" . Here are portraits of some crops These wacky characters, fewer and fewer, sometimes embody the true human types, now suspended between the past and the future of the collective memory of Bologna. And by the way are much more complex and socially significant than it seems.
Well, in these days of controversy over Berlusconi's private life, and mutual complaints of alleged clashes between prime minister and the Catholic world, I often come to mind is one of those guys that I met a boy at times for center of Forli, on Saturday afternoon. He was a gentleman already quite old, those who would call in Bologna umarell , which always hovered around the square, dressed with a pair of rubber boots, a windbreaker and a military haversack that was said to contain food for comfort, or perhaps actual rations for survival.
In the hands he always carried a transistor radio to , a bit 'bigger and battered than that - before the advent of pay-TV - men "normal" carrying around on Sunday afternoon to listen the radio commentary of Ciotti and America as they strolled through the center with "mad wife alongside," as a memorable song by 883.
Our little man attacked a little rectangle 'with all the passers-by, but could be progressively listen to fewer people. Because the reason for the strange and the transistor radio held to the ear was always convinced that the outbreak of war was imminent, a matter of days if not hours, so we must be ready.
Among other things, the wise character seemed perpetually a bit 'pissed off. Probably was not true, and only me to remind me that, but now it seems to me to think that looks a bit 'to Mourinho, obviously in a more ugly, old and battered by life. He was always moody, but not so much the prospect of war in itself, but because it did not seem to comprehend how they could treat everyone so condescendingly.
You knew very well, and often also said that his countrymen seemed all inexplicably unaware, uncaring, irresponsible and stupidly addicted. To hear him, made him shudder at the thought of how many people could be so stupid and dazed by the painful lies of the press compliant.
According to our little man, all the media did nothing but hide the danger looming horas to us all just to please the government. And this seemed to be the only necessary and sufficient explanation for the fact that - every day - he continued to appear in the square with haversack and radio, without which the war had ever broken out before evening.
Indeed, those who mocked him asking him why they were still there, he said, explaining excited indignation with the stories of new plots always organized by media, and of course by the government. And once again made it clear - with his usual solemn and gravely misunderstood by Cassandra, but also angry black - that just did not realize how certain risks could be underestimated or even ignored by the people ox, were so serious and obvious.
Well, here, as ever these days for some reason every time I meet someone for the way it goes about his business with a copy di Repubblica sotto il braccio, oppure quando lo vedo mentre la legge al tavolino del bar, con una espressione più o meno pensosa e corrucciata, non posso più fare a meno di pensare a quell’ometto con la radiolina.

Basketball Baseline Inbound Plays
E poi uno si butta a destra. L’ateneo bolognese, nei giorni scorsi, ha offerto l’ennesima occasione per incoraggiare il ministro Mariastella Gelmini a proseguire nel suo tentativo di riformare in profondità l’università italiana. Certo, c’è da dubitare nel successo della sua iniziativa viste le nostalgie sessantottine che ancora abitano le menti e i cuori di tanti (troppi) cattedratici. Ma la speranza è sempre l’ultima a morire, notoriamente. What happened in the Two Towers?
Facing the serious prospect of disciplinary action decided by the pro-rector Paola Monari against some students are members of Bartleby, a movement that for weeks now occupies a building owned by the Alma Mater, a battalion of prof felt the need to feel his indignation. So people put a letter in which as many as 81 teachers (in the re-write letters for confirmation, how do you Allowances: eighty-one) have definitely taken the side of the four boys in the odor of lecture to defend them and say that their occupation is considered substantially good thing.
will. But when dozens of professors decided to take a stand on support of those who commit abuses, then there is something wrong with the university corpaccione obese. In fact take is to commit violence, an outrage in fact, a bitch. Because it prevents the rightful owner to dispose of its space as it sees fit. And if the owner coincides with a public institution, that share increases exponentially the character of a coward.
For the simple reason that the vast majority of citizens (or students, as in this case) are excluded from the enjoyment of a good that has them too. So this is the usual story of the noisy minority who will retain the right to unilateral decision to act for all others, on time silent. Yeah, what they think "everyone else"? Who cares. Good luck, minister Gelmini. His reform or will be, first of all cultural or not.

How Do I Watch Southpark Episodes Online? Uk
While the Democratic Party tries to escape the ghost of Bartolini, the party officials in 1999 for the first time - the complicity of the large abstention - Palazzo d'Accursio did lose the left, and we beat a carpet the beaches of Romagna Bologna and the hills to bring the ballot to vote for the greatest number of elderly people have fled the heat, the moderate front something moved. Giorgio Guazzaloca has sided in favor of Alfredo Cazzola, supported by PDL and the League. A choice of field made through gritted teeth, even tight. In his own way, in fact. The former mayor said that, while not considering Mister Motor Show at which he aspires to hold the office for the good of Bologna hopes for change. In other words: I'm with the lesser evil.
reviews that might have the opposite effect among guazzalochiani, who have not heard from their former leader a real call to arms. So this time the turnout becomes a much more serious threat to Cazzola, forced to collect all the anti-left votes, which Delbono. The campaign starts with a sad conclusion for those who hoped the Democratic Party as suffer under the Due Torri a setback of unforeseeable consequences, the combined result of national problems and the disastrous local government led by Cofferati. Instead, the deep fractures in the center giving new breath to a power system worn, without ideas, that does not bode well for the future of Bologna.
Cofferati, it is good to point out, was not the exception to a ruling class still able to rule the area. The failure of China, boosted by its reputation and mistakes Marchiani, is in perfect keeping with the crisis of the old partiton, unable to modernize and speak a language understood by its own traditional voters.
Confirmation si trova nell’esito del primo turno. Il ballottaggio, seppure di un soffio, dimostra che Delbono è tutto fuorché un candidato forte. E’ vero, è riuscito abilmente a ricostruire la vecchia Unione comportandosi da autentico prodiano.
Ma il mancato raggiungimento del 50 per cento più uno dei voti equivale allo schiaffo a un prodismo barcollante e senza ossigeno, per di più in casa propria. Pertanto non all’altezza di rispondere alle aspettative della città, che chiede a chi la amministra innovazione, coraggio e prospettive concrete.

Used Go Kart For Sale
Se un tempo Bologna era considerata il laboratorio della sinistra nazionale, dove si scavavano le fondamenta per il futuro, oggi la città has dropped to the back room. The return of the Union, complete with the appearance of Romano Prodi at the convention of Delbono two days ago, shows that the future of the Democratic Party in Bologna is hidden in the past, experiences already tried and failed to tell the truth. Eventually the professor Mantua gray, perfect for a city turned in on itself and just graying, has not found something better to redo the old crowded.
course, the numbers are on his side. And we were easy prophets at the time of the investiture of Delbono to predict the outcome it has come from a few hours. Bologna is a symbol for the old Communist Party, and losing it would mean the final shipwreck. Remaking the Union, therefore, it guarantees the immediate result (maybe). But the knot is just that: the political horizon of an entire ruling class of what is left by the former Christian Democrat UDC looking at between PRC and the Greens just can not go beyond June 8, 2009 .
To use a language of sports journalists you want to win but not convincing. In the sense that the true goal is to win back the seats that count and not to get out of hand the management of power, knowing that when you start to grow back administer those frictions and the ideological distance that will result in the inaction of local government. He's right Filippo Berselli, coordinator Regional PDL, when he speaks of "deja vu".
But here's something else at stake that the defeat of the center. We have a city that is about to end in the hands of those who present themselves with the physique du role of the undertaker, who already knows who will take their time to mediate, explain, pull to the jacket one or another ally. Everything but steer and plunge headlong to pull out of the city from the shadow that has sunk some time. The Union is the perfect coalition to accelerate, rather than to reduce the degradation of Bologna. And Delbono, without political charisma and unable to transmit optimism, it is the right person to perform the task.
Si può contrastare questa prospettiva? Intanto ciò che sta maturando all’interno del Pd sul piano nazionale potrebbe portare a conseguenze imprevedibili anche in periferia. Se le elezioni europee finiranno male, come molti segnali indicano, si dà per scontata la rottura definitiva fra ex-Ds e ex-Margherita. Rottura che difficilmente potrà riflettersi sull’esito della consulatazione elettorale bolognese, è vero, bensì sulla tenuta della coalizione subito dopo, con rischi consistenti di implosione. Oppure c’è il rischio più grave per Delbono: quello di non vincere al primo turno. Se il vicepresidente della Regione non porta la rinata Unione immediatamente alla vittoria, dovendo ricorrere al “secondo tempo”, the snowball effect will be uncontrollable.
course, a combined center would help a lot to reach the goal. Instead it is split between two strong candidates as Cazzola and Guazzaloca, whose presence in the newspapers and the media in general is almost entirely monopolized by unnecessary controversies that do not help to erode mutual consent Delbono.

Fireplace Damper Operation
There is a deep question that is also revealed in cases such as the earthquake Aquila. It is the fact that our society has lost two concepts that are familiar with, however, in our opinion would be decisive also in social and political, that of providence and that of original sin.
Three centuries of
rosseauvismo led us to think that nature and humans are fundamentally good and perfect in itself. Our company was corrupt only selfishness of private property and religious superstition.
are things you do not say more, and even makes you more aware of thinking, but the dominant cultural facilities in our Western society, even today, are based on this paradigm.
One of the most pernicious side effects of this (along with that famous, progressive, identification of right with the desire of which we have already spoken
other times) is that now people can no longer cope with a tragic event of their own or others' existence, without immediately going to try those responsible.
Apart from the earthquakes, we all know by now that most of the hospital doctors, even good ones, in the course of his career are at least three to four cases on the rump. E 'became inevitable, as soon as some of their patient who had died less than eighty years, the family lawyer should be even before it went by the funeral home.
Then, I agree, no one says that science and technology should not investigate, seek, and that there should be incentives for individual responsibility, etc. .. and this also in the prevention of earthquakes. But
should be a different cultural system, partly because the so-called "scientists" are now almost all "tecnoscienziati, doing research only to the extent financed or financed, so they must always deal with practical needs. It 's a reality that can not be liked, and you may regret what you want the systems based on public funding (something they know our carers and our Ukrainian builders Albanians, more often, they all graduated from their beautiful show).
But the fact remains that our Western society has progressed well, and without the knowledge of this system could not go forward.
Leaving aside the characters to the Labor, perennial search advertising, which are also in the scientific world, by now should be made clear that research on the predictability of earthquakes has very poor economic compatibility, since the real problem is what if anything to get their homes in safety.
The Japanese and Californians have managed it better than us, but in their case should take into account the pressing needs of a much higher seismicity, which over time has forced them to many more restorations. They do not have to deal with urbanization static stretching back centuries ago.
I will always remember the expression on the face of that fellow Japanese visitors, who look in front of a basilica in Bologna I repeated "but, is it old?" . As well as that of an American student, with whom I was struggling to pass the notion that those Roman walls that date back before we were the fourth and the fourteenth century.
The Japanese built the houses with walls made of wood and paper for their innate sense of insecurity, and that attitude has helped them in keeping abreast of seismic criteria.
But we build in reinforced concrete and masonry, when just can not build in stone, because we assume that a house is forever.
E 'therefore inevitable that, after an earthquake, there are those who try to strike up controversy over the lack building security. It 's normal that, in cases like this, especially on the left, there are those who is angry with the lack of control and funding from the State and Local Government: the earthquake is a natural event such as rain, and when it comes the rain ... the thief who is to blame?
At least, it is to breathe a sigh of relief that this disaster has taken place during the Prodi government. Otherwise we would be doing at this time deal with the new surcharge on Abruzzo earthquake, which in turn would have been attached to the fee for disposing of rubbish in Naples by 2011.
But other than that, since - if you want to stay on a level of reality - it is unthinkable that the fine paghi sempre Pantalone, avete mai visto come diventano selvagge le assemblee di condominio, quando arriva l'amministratore a dire che ci sarebbe da andare in tasca per mettere a norma l'impianto elettrico oppure per smaltire l'amianto del tetto?
Ecco, sommessamente domandiamo, ma la gente a queste cose ci pensa, quando scende al bar, apre la Repubblica , e poi comincia a polemizzare sulla incapacità di fare prevenzione dei terremoti?

Tennis Ball Sized Tumour Bowel
Il centrosinistra bolognese sprofonda in pieno psicodramma, talmente surreale che sembra la trama di un film noir. Sergio Cofferati, uno che le critiche difficilmente riesce a sopportarle, specialmente quando arrivano dagli amici, è entrato a piedi uniti nella campaign. After the attacks - also not too heavy - who had given him the day before Delbono only through the newspaper of reference, the mayor has decided to answer his part. The result is that the former vice president of the region now lies on the edge of the field of competition for metaphorical Palace Accursio with aching legs and ankles, lovingly cared for by the provincial secretary of the Pd Andrea De Maria.
missing a program, there is no coalition, the coalition lacks a program. This new suit the tailor Coffy was packed for the candidate without a symbol. Allegations that hardly can be denied and that the flavor of the final rejection. But the news Nor is this, even if the material would be sufficient even for the river Sunday sermon by Eugenio Scalfari, always in the newspaper of reference. The news is another, and that the first supporter of his name was Flavio Delbono Sergio Cofferati. Warning: It is a homonym of what a few hours ago, he smashed shins could have done better than Ringhio Gattuso. No, I'm the same person.
For this reason we speak of psychodrama. A center-left and no longer know which way to turn. If this is your very first citizen to believe that your candidate to replace the latter considers a policy void, it remains the psychiatrist's couch. Rejecting Delbono, Cofferati ball himself and shipped directly behind the blackboard with the hat ass well worn on the head. In this way turns the spotlight on his failure and particularly the inability of the center to gain credibility in the eyes of Bologna.
Entry murderous Cofferati also affects the whole center, charged with an even greater responsibility in terms of reliability programs, alliances and government. It will benefit?

What Is Pope Gosser China
We have a news from yesterday, Michele Serra, renowned polemicist of the Republic, entered the election campaign of Bologna. We have had confirmation when we came across sua rubrica “L’amaca”, il pensierino quotidiano graffiante e sarcastico che dispensa ai suoi lettori. Che peraltro gradiscono. L’altro ieri Serra ha preso di mira la vicenda del check up medico dei candidati alla carica di sindaco che tanto scalpore (a scoppio ritardato) ha suscitato in città. “La contesa (elettorale ndr) – scriveva – è approdata sui giornali nazionali per il colpo basso anzi bassissimo inferto a Giorgio Guazzaloca, felicemente guarito da un tumore: un suo avversario di centrodestra (nemico interno, i peggiori) ha chiesto di sottoporre tutti i candidati a visita medica, per vedere chi è più arzillo e magari chi ce l’ha più lungo”.
Ohibò, reading at this point we were attacked by existential doubts. We were convinced that all the local press had reported the story as it was actually gone. That is, a doctor in the past supporter of Delbono and current president of the union of private ambulatorietà, and receiving the idea had been launched, triggering the uproar. But no: Serra proved as usual to have an edge over him and be the true guardian of the truth. All of a plot in the dark rooms of those reactionaries of pro-Berlusconi, in fact.
Rosi envy and closed the newspaper, we began to reflect on our status as journalists are unable to go beyond the nostre convinzioni politiche, che puntualmente inquinano i nostri articoli. Stavamo per essere vinti da queste frustranti considerazioni che abbiamo voluto riprendere in mano l’intervista concessa dal medico a un quotidiano locale, dove Antonio Monti (questo il suo nome) ammetteva di aver appoggiato il candidato senza simbolo. E tra le mani ci sono di nuovo capitati i ritagli di stampa dove venivano riportate le voci fatte correre dai sostenitori di un altro candidato di sinistra, Gianfranco Pasquino, secondo le quali lo stesso Monti aveva finanziato la campagna elettorale di Delbono. Voci liquidate dal medico come “idiozie”. Oppure, ancora, quegli articoli dove si mettevano nero su bianco prima l’adesione entusiastica di Delbono al check up e dopo qualche ora la retromarcia dell’ex vicepresidente della Regione. “Avevo capito che era un mezzo scherzo”.
Tutto questo per Serra non era accaduto: al contrario, si è trattato di banale e scontata guerra interna al centrodestra. Delbono immacolato, Pasquino intoccato, Monti l’agnello sacrificale. E così il cerchio (della disinformazione) si è chiuso. Proponiamo Michele Serra assessore alla Cultura del Comune. Di Delbono o di Pasquino, non fa differenza. Post-scriptum: alla fine di queste righe pensiamo di aver brillantemente superato le nostre frustrazioni. “E’ la campagna elettorale, bellezza”.

Eurotech Dishwasher Problem
Ormai è chiaro qual è il difetto principale Silverio Piro, Attorney regent in Bologna: not knowing resist the temptations of the press. Faced with the opportunity of an appearance on some local newspaper, the magistrate can not see us again and opens his mouth. Beginning to declare, on everything and more. Even at the cost of fueling controversy and raise suspicions that for him the political arena is not the place from which every judge should keep a safe distance. Just to not be afraid to be part of man. Instead, he dives into his arena with gusto. At the risk of breaking the head. But this is the fate of those who travel along paths that do not know.
The other day it was granted yet another foray in the media. In a few hours before it is decided by the government intervened on patrol and immediately applauded (in his own way, of course) the Court's decision to impose only six years in prison for the rapist of a fifteen. In both cases it is successful in a company for which we would like to thank you very much. Because there has to mind what should be the main advantage of a magistrate: the secrecy, silence, hard work and effective in the shadows. Piro matters can not handle with care. With great joy of the mass media, of course.
short patrols defined them "disturbing," one of those adjectives methods used by professional politicians (of course) to disqualify the highest degree the behavior of their opponents, especially when you have no substantive arguments. Proving to be reflecting on the decision of the government with ideological mind sufficiently free from slag. "Scary" draws more impenetrable obscurity, the mystery that hides unspeakable threats. Just a word to discredit those who or what is intended.
not happy with the first performance, Piro if they have given a second. Equally bold. Commenting on the decision of the Court mentioned above, and emphasized that he shared in full, made it clear that the lightness of the sentence was justified even from the age of the victim: "It is not a little girl, "he said. When we read these few words, there are many courses chills down my spine. And we had proof that one of the judges is the caste of the caste, all closed in on itself, without contact with the outside world and without any hint of the problems facing families and parents. Magistrates often colorless but with enormous power in his hands. In a word: scary.

How To Get Purple Primer Off Vinal
The campaign is getting interesting Delbono
because the spectrum of Kafka hovers with increasing insistence
its parts. So they can also have fun the contours
which must resort to tricks to get out of situations groped
paradoxical. And the most ironic of all the traffic concerns.
Since the jumble of Civis
the Democratic Party is likely to play a fair share of acclaim, and as Councillor for the City Traffic
, the indestructible Maurizio Zamboni,
know he does not want to stop the car as it would Delbono The other day
annoyed reaction is triggered by Claudio Merighi,
spokesman for the candidate without a symbol.
Zamboni should be quiet, was the substance of the words of Merighi.
understand, then, why the company propaganda Delbono
becomes comparable to a Herculean task? On the one hand every other day other
also never misses a chance to remember that "Civis is the work of
Guazzaloca but now he pretends to forget," and the other is just a nanosecond
distracts comes from the torpedo came Cofferati.
Cofferati, for those if you have forgotten, is that the mayor has said
to support it in its race to conquer
Palazzo d'Accursio.
The obvious difficulties of the former vice president of Region
sinks the blade Albert Vann, leader of Bologna in Your City. "The poor
Delbono - he says - he insists on saying things that he does not believe
. Every day pulling awkwardly at stake for Guazzaloca avere
un po’ di spazio sui giornali. Purtroppo per lui spesso si fa male da
solo”. Insomma per Vannini Delbono “assomiglia sempre più al suo
mandante politico: il sindaco Cofferati. Ricordate quando Sergio disse
solennemente che avrebbe tenuto per sé la delega dell'assessorato alla
Sicurezza voluto da Guazzaloca? Oggi Delbono dice le stesse cose.
Visti i disastrosi risultati di Cofferati sono certo che i bolognesi
sperano vivamente che Delbono se ne torni nella sua comoda seggiola di
consigliere regionale. Ricca poltrona che non ha mai abbandonato”.
L’altro paradosso del candidato arancione (dal colore dei suoi
manifesti elettorali) è quello want to credit at all costs
the image of enlightened reform, then promptly bring out whatever antiberlusconiana
soul to please the left
antagonist which is chasing the votes. "Guazzaloca and Cazzola -
has said - are pale imitators of the prime minister.
many ads, little substance, more approximate to avalanche problems solved

1979 Canadian 20 Dollar Bill
The current difficulties of the Italian left, without exception, the green
sink roots in a
apparent inability to offer concrete answers about the issues that most affect citizens. The
who, faced with a embarrassing silence, only sometimes covered by proposals
abstract and sometimes incomprehensible, are directing much
right or, as many argue, to the
League. Veltroni resigned to losing yet another election. And if
a defeat can also be an accident, and two defeats
the principle of a malaise, when showers became a standard means that the
debolezza del partito è ormai strutturale.
Tra i terreni più scivolosi che nelle ultime settimane si sono imposti
all’attenzione generale, un posto di primo piano va purtroppo
riservato alla sicurezza con una serie di violenze alle donne che ha
provocato l’impennata dell’inquietudine in molte famiglie italiane.
Il Governo ha provato a mandare segnali forti, se non altro per
contrastare una emozione diffusa destinata ad aumentare frustrazione,
rabbia e sfiducia verso lo Stato. Il recente decreto ha scatenato
polemiche per aver istituzionalizzato lo strumento delle ronde.
E a sinistra sono partite puntuali le polemiche e le critiche. C’è chi ha
talked about clubs, hunting aliens,
of exploitation, even a decision that could increase
anxiety. But when you get good buzz and try to understand what
are alternative proposals that come from events
so angry, you feel that answering violence against women must be addressed
from a point of view "cultural and social." Patrols? Please,
needless to talk about it. An answer that in fact becomes a permanent reference
the solution of the problem. I mean, talk
inconclusive and demagogic.
The elevation of the man left the road, concerned about his daughter
adolescente che se ne esce di casa per andare al
cinema o a una festa tra amici, viene così confermata per l’ennesima
volta. Ma ci chiediamo dove stia lo scandalo delle ronde, se depuriamo
il discorso da ogni strisciante accusa di provvedimento fascistoide.
Se ci sono cittadini, organizzati in associazioni, che si prestano
volentieri a regalare il proprio tempo libero nel controllo del
territorio, l’amministrazione comunale ha il dovere di utilizzarli a
beneficio dell’intera comunità. Il problema della sicurezza ha
raggiunto picchi di gravità talmente elevati che non possiamo più
perderci in giri di parole. Si tratta di rimboccarsi le maniche qui e
hours.

Printer Decal Singapore
The greenish light shone in upon him from below. So the face of the young idiot looked ghostly pale, and then even more unpleasant. His eyes were lost in the void, and his hair shaved to zero to highlight the slight deformity of the skull. In a next shot, the director had given him something to eat, so that the contraction a little 'spastic jaws would make her look even more disgusting. The dark background accentuated the sense of horror. No one, to see those images portrayed with cinematic wisdom, could escape a feeling of disgust mixed with pity.
Here the "lives unworthy of being lived," as the slogan read invented by Hitler himself.
This is one of several Nazi propaganda film of the second half of the '30s, who had been shot by the directors of the system to support the project Aktion T4. A secret program, but studied in detail, anticipating that the start of the Shoah it proposed the elimination of severely disabled people from all over the Reich and occupied territories.
early as 1935, the Fuhrer had promised to the chief medical Reich, Gerhard Wagner, who once started the war would have implemented a eugenics program that would go for mass euthanasia. It was the word in 1939 - the eve of the invasion of Poland - began with euthanasia, before moving to the suppression of programmed all people with disabilities. Within a few years, where the law on forced sterilization of disabled people had followed that promulgated against the Jews and gypsies, the mass murder of disabled people was followed closely by that of the same Jews and Gypsies.
Those gruesome propaganda films, still available on the web, I came to mind while reading a newspaper article of today on the tragic case of Eluana. "... The body withered, atrophied limbs of an old, shrunken, the wounds on his right cheek often positioned to the side, unable to swallow; the nose is now huge compared to a face portrait, deformed ears, calloused, darkened by the wounds, the eyes large and horribly off that moved in all directions, or buildings with his eyelids at half mast their dementia; saliva that dripped from his mouth, his tongue hanging out and dead .... "
Obviously they are false, the lies circulated to understand art, as is the nature of all items of propaganda. The testimony of the sisters Misericordine of Lecco, in which the lives of disabled Eluana was brutally torn, but also the findings of the autopsy showed that the conditions were not those of the murdered woman. Sisters of Christian Charity, in the course of many years of vegetative state, had always prevented the disintegration of the body, the rest usually does not touch someone with a disability in those conditions, especially when it can rely on a human or religious family who take care of him. The article was
Filippo Facci, and has appeared on Journal .
* * * It was claimed that the story of Eluana has marked a watershed in the collective conscience of our country. The Gazette
wrote that the Catholic Church on this occasion would have lost something more than a battle. This is because, in the collective drama that also has accompagnato l’inatteso caso di eutanasia giudiziaria, avrebbe mostrato tutta la debolezza del suo ceto intellettuale e dei suoi media . La Chiesa avrebbe dovuto fare i conti con la perdita della sua antica capacità di fare presa sul sentire comune del Paese, così come con una risorgente impossibilità – per mancanza di energie morali, dopo la crisi postconciliare e le stagioni perdenti dei referendum su divorzio e aborto – di condurre in Italia una nuova cultural war sul grande tema della difesa della vita.
Certo, per i laicisti arrabbiati che hanno condotto il piano di eliminazione di Eluana, o comunque che ne hanno approfittato, si trattava di prendersi una rivincita per lo smacco subito with the referendum on artificial insemination.
The goal was to overthrow the Italian claim to exceptionality, where it is feared that the presence of the Vatican still able to put up some resistance - such as catechon Pauline - the affirmation of the "New World" Huxley told by other authors and apocalyptic the twentieth century.
was, in fact clear to everyone, from the beginning that the real enemy was the Catholic Church. Although until the last proponents of the "project Eluana" were not made of this opportunity to throw in politics (still echoes the infamous leader of the jokes that would euthanised in showing a pronounced Rai journalist body of the girl who was dying of thirst "Can a woman like this be able to father a child?!?" ).
It is true that on this occasion, seems to have broken the principle of the absolute unavailability of human life and dignity - the last stronghold of the fundamental Judeo-Christian culture that built the West - the Catholic and Apostolic Church appears to be humbled output .
civilization in the wake of Judaism that ended the practice of human sacrifice for religious purposes, cut down the jus vitae et necis of the fathers upon the children that in fact belonged to the Roman and all ancient civilizations, and invented the concept of secularism as against the imperial power, to deny the State the right to offend the natural rights of citizens, in fact, on this occasion appeared helpless and on the verge of collapse.
It 's a thought inevitable, when he began to be attacked in such a spectacular way the pillars on which the Christian civilization arose. The civilization in the name of the suffering Christ began to care for abandoned children, the seriously ill, and so he invented the hospitals and modern medicine as we know it today (not all, however ...) seems to be about to surrender way to a new vision of the world.
The contents of this new civilization are still to be defined, but we know that it finds its roots in those cultures and their pre-Christian religion which - no coincidence - the very German National Socialism of the last century had sought to reintroduce into modernity.
But here, despite the apparent weakness of the last conscious defenders of secular thought and Christian, we believe that this can not happen really. At the very least, can not go all the way, if there is a fund. Because it is in extreme weakness, for two thousand years, the novelty of Christianity is full force.
More than fifteen years ago when it was just the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Ratzinger published a speech which showed that - after all - not an unusual fact that civilizations are likely to encounter more Christianized and sophisticated, even for long periods, stages of apparent blindness to the law ".
had already happened with slavery of blacks in the United States in the late eighteenth century. As with the first colonization of the nineteenth century when it began to think that there were inferior races that were to be subjugated to man also on the European legal system. Then, as we all know, this anti-Christian thought has come back into the horrors of Nazism and even those of socialism, when the discrimination and then the destruction began to be implemented on a large scale is not for racial reasons, but economic, in the usual illusion of being able to build a new humanity.
However, it is also true that - the outcome of these troubled times - in Western history has always come back, so to speak, to a relative normality. The common sense of people, Christian education and indigenous to hear of the people, the ability to perceive the reality of things - for it is the reality, objective truth, the logos Greeks as well as the practical reason of the moderns, the underlying principles on which Christianity is all his strength - in the end always end up re-emerge.
So there is reason to hope. Even at the time of the referendum on assisted fertilization polls had not anticipated anything of what happened. Major newspapers and TV were all on the other hand, has gone that way yet that still burns in spectacular lorsignori. In our opinion can not be just a few years, despite appearances, to change things in our country.
must therefore be vigilant and again, in the name of freedom and human dignity. But not enough corporal works of mercy, even if in fact it seems that it just start to give drink to the thirsty. It takes from now on also of spiritual mercy. We must return without fear to counsel the doubtful, and to warn sinners. In the spirit of truth, which is also true that of secularism.
The Christian difference, the ability to be in the world without being of the world, will help us. It 's always happened so and will happen again this time, because in Italy and Europe, immigration aside, the trend demographic is not from the generation of secular and desperate sessantottino.

How To Cure Piles Without Surgery
Yesterday afternoon I went for a ride downtown with my wife, and the second of my children, that is eight years old.
Down the alley that runs next to the prefecture (via Santa Croce, not entirely by chance ...), we came across a couple of policemen who improvised a traffic jam, and did not pass anyone in front of the door Government Palace.
We then parked nearby, and then we went back there on foot. In front of the door there was a small deployment of police in riot gear. The usual
cassintegrati, I thought. But, at that time was coming to a silent group of about fifty people, average age about thirty, that in his head he wore a small banner saying "do not give up Eluana" .
Oh, well, an event for life. But why in front of the prefecture?
Then, passing beside the silent procession, I saw that in the hands clutching rosary beads, but the white signs with the usual mayhem political "George did not give up" , "Berlusconi hands down by the constitution" , " Italy is a secular country " and stuff like that.
As my wife, my son and myself that I kept on hand at that moment we were the only passers-by, as soon as we have seen the protesters have turned the sign to us, and we have watched in silence.
were almost all dressed in black, as priests, and ultimately in their own way they were. Their silence was eerie, and it was not clear if they were more embarrassed, them or us who watched in amazement.
My wife, a woman of another era though still young, and with solid practical sense, he said aloud, but these are just idiots ... also expect to be here on behalf of Eluana? What then, what should Eluana to "never give up"? Hint that wants to commit suicide? Spit the tube or try to bite off your tongue? ...
Seeing the scene of the small crowd that poured all sense of reality - as is the basic strategy the prince of this world - the moment I came to think of "Crucify" shouted in the courtyard of the palace (which in fact was just the prefecture of the time ...).
So we left off, a bit 'to avoid the risk that we will run away screaming something to them, and a little' an instinctive sense of protection to the child.
So I really thought that - for those who have preserved a sense of the supernatural - a long time did not happen to see Satan at work so openly, as in this case.
But I say Satan as a metaphor, as an image of evil, no no ... in procession along with quell'ambulanza who traveled at night (at night, of course, to him to act like mica light of day ...) from Lecco to Udine could just see the prince of this world in person.
You could see it while on parade pace, with lots of diavoloni and devils with pitchforks that made him march, while the service order of the Devils team to put in all those who, from the sides of the street and in front of the TV, we are congratulating ourselves on the journey of death.
E 'continuous inversion of reality and common sense that reveals its presence triggered. And it's still the same story of those early years of Christianity: a story of people who persist in declaring a person dead is living, while the Pharisees continue to rend their garments against those who do not meet compliance Saturday ( there's a sentence! there's the Constitution! we are in a state of law! ) and are shocked by the man who taught that the Sabbath is for man and not vice versa.
There's even those who, behind the figure of the prince that mocking grins on human stupidity, also wants to silence everyone with his moral reversed "that girl is undergoing an unprecedented violence!"
But how? Do they die of thirst and in the end those who use violence, would we? Back
identical to itself so that old box in the temple of Jerusalem
"Moses gave you the law? Yet none of you practice law. Why try to kill me? The crowd answered: You have a demon, who tries to kill you? ... "
Yeah, who tries to kill Eluana? I'm all for justice, for the law, the Constitution, and also by the poor father who uses compassion that is due as a club, not only on his daughter's life but also to all those who object
... Well, I've always thought there was much more than Berlusconi in what appears.
is not a Catholic (and who cares), but now this move by the Decree-Law - where political ulterior motives they may have had very little, as if he wants to govern in peace, had no interest in doing Napolitano angry - the consecrated quanto meno come un Giusto, in senso biblico.
Uno di quelli che gli ebrei moderni, dopo la Shoah, invitavano con tutti gli onori in Israele, a piantare un albero anche se non faceva parte del popolo eletto. Uomini così li invitavano in quanto, di fronte all'incedere del male, ciascuno di loro si era rivelato un Giusto. Uno di quelli ai quali non si seccheranno mai le radici. Perchè chi salva una vita umana, salva il mondo intero.
E dall'altra parte, Caifa si è appellato alla legge. Alla ragion di Stato. E gli ha dato l'identica risposta che diede al sinedrio: "voi non capite, è meglio che un uomo solo muoia per il popolo..." , mentre il corteo dei farisei era già pronto to side with him, with fringes and phylacteries in plain sight, even down to the streets to defend the Constitution.
Despite everything that we can say, except this time the one who questioned the religious card - which in effect usurping the responsibility was entrusted to the government, as well as a power of control which no doubt would be for the Parliament and consulting - is was the usual Bonapartist Arcore.
And come to think of the words of Massimo Caprara, then soon after that Caiaphas was promoted to head of the Sanhedrin remembered - he knew him well - that many years ago, at the time of the invasion of Hungary, even then he could talk , could sign.
But he refused and remained loyal the order of the party ...
"... are you angry 'cause I healed a man on the Sabbath? Do not judge by appearances but judge with righteous judgment." Right Said the Pharisees who wanted to order because it did not comply with the law, and man was it was God
There's all that old box that held less than two thousand years ago, in the courtyard of the temple, This story of Eluana.
A story that repeats itself in its human aspects, but also legal: "now you are trying to kill (according to the law!) because my word finds no place in you ... and you do what you have heard your father ... If God were your Father, you would love me ... Why do you not understand my language?
Why can not hear my words, you are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father.
He was a murderer from the beginning and not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks of his own, he is a liar and the father of lies .... ".
murderous liar from the beginning.
one who reverses the truth.
What does the man's death, and called life. Who wants to injustice, and called law. That poses a victim of violence, and the executioner.
Back to return the car in the evening, we are retouched in front of the prefecture. The crowd obviously had dispersed some time. "Dad, they then killed the girl?" She asked the child.
PS: And at least keep down the little finger, dear monopoly of compassion and sense of humanity, and do not come and speak - usually on the instructions of your father - that we Catholics are doing just moralizing and rather we should pray for Eluana's father ...
We're not like those dark American evangelists who see Sodom and Gomorrah everywhere, we. And even less like the usual
cristianucci, Compagnucci, laicistucci children peaks, which are now all become doctors and lawyers all, and they are all there in a vegetative state for debating and attacks on the Constitution as if each had two degrees, one in medicine and the other in Law.
always say they want even if they are able to see Gomorrah (Sodom no, not to be discriminated against Sodom ....) only what Berlusconi says or does, regardless.
Especially this morning, at Mass, we Catholics prayed for the family of Eluana - the mother, the one who does not like being in the spotlight - because they understand who is the only physician of body and Amim, which can help them carry the weight of their grief.
Although apparently, even today Sor Beppino used her pain as a club, not only on his daughter's life, but also to silence the whole universe the world, and gave yet another interview with El Pais, in which attacks of new Berlusconi, the Italian Parliament, the Catholic Church ...
I mean, who accepts a bet that after a few years Sor Beppino (for which we continue to pray for God's sake) to the next round will be nominated for any Parliament, European or Italian?
bet a Neapolitan pizza?

How To Repair A Hole On An Inflatable Bed
The People of Freedom, at least in Bologna, was created with the shirt. And luck, as everyone knows, is much better than her friend who committed to paddle against. The descent into the field of Professor Gianfranco Pasquino, who will compete in the first round of local elections at the head of a civic list, is not only the policy of active engagement in a predictable personality and genuinely free, but carries with it two other "facts" indisputable. Encouraging both for the center.
The first concerns precisely the PDL and the serious risk of nest 50 (plus one) to zero by Delbono 6 and June 7, thus making it unnecessary to wait for the next two weeks to know the identity of the new mayor. With the right bad habit that we have to endure for months, and which - not fear but hope - ci toccherà sopportare nel prossimo futuro, costituito di più candidati che guardando al medesimo bacino elettorale punteranno a squalificare l’avversario più vicino piuttosto che pensare di portare via voti a sinistra, la decisione del professore è una vera benedizione. Solo Corticelli ha dimostrato di saper “leggere” le forze in campo nel centrodestra (anche spinto da sondaggi non troppo benevoli), e ha cominciato la manovra di avvicinamento a Cazzola.
Insomma chi vota Pasquino è un elettore di sinistra, che avrebbe sicuramente scelto Delbono senza l’intellettuale in campo e dunque avrebbe contribuito ad allargare la voragine tra il centrosinistra e il centrodestra. In questo modo, invece, una percentuale little more or less will be removed former Vice President of the Region. And if the PDL is the second round, anything can happen. No coincidence that some members of the Democratic Party support and newspapers have immediately attacked Pasquino, accusing him of "helping Berlusconi." But there is another consideration to make, perhaps more important than the visible surface. Running in the first round, Pasquino shows that the primaries are not over on the left.
Under the light ash that had fallen after the filing of the competition in mid-December, hatching still the focus of the clash of factions. Revenge prodiana red heart in the former Communist Party (Delbono Draghetti in the City and the Province) contro un Veltroni colpevole di averlo cacciato da Palazzo Chigi, non è ancora raggiunta. Se poi Delbono non riuscirà a sottoscrivere l’accordo con l’estrema sinistra, molto arrabbiata con il Walter nazionale per lo sbarramento al 4 per cento alle elezioni europee concordato con Berlusconi, la questione è destinata a complicarsi ulteriormente.
E il Popolo della Libertà? Intanto attende il 7 febbraio, giorno in cui Guazzaloca dovrebbe formalizzare la sua candidatura. Soltanto dopo prenderà una decisione. Nel frattempo, giusto per non perdere tempo, sono iniziate le polemiche con la Lega su presunte richieste di poltrone. Discussione inutile e per certi versi ridicola visto che prima bisogna vincere. E si vince se si è tutti uniti. O no?

Make-up Salon Blueprints
Caro presidente operaio Silvio Berlusconi, ascolti questa mozione del cuore e anche della testa da parte di chi vuole bene a lei e a Bologna. Ed è molto preoccupato che, come lei stesso ha promesso, calzi il berretto da muratore per costruire il passante autostradale a nord della città. Magari sottoponendo il suo pur tonico fisico a sforzi le cui conseguenze rischia di portarsi dietro per molto tempo. Cribbio, gli anni prima o poi si faranno sentire e allora come la metteremo?
Dunque: sappiamo che le hanno assicurato quanto l’opera sia assolutamente necessaria per risolvere i problemi di traffico del capoluogo e di mezza Italia. E sappiamo anche che di fronte alla bocciatura arrivata nei giorni scorsi dall’Ue a proposito dell’ipotesi di affidare i lavori direttamente a Società Autostrade, lei ha generosamente esclamato: “Ghe pensi mi a trovare i dané” (più o meno). Ecco, presidente, lasci perdere: si concentri su Obama, Israele, le tasche (forse) vuote degli italiani. Insomma, si impegni su qualsiasi altro problema che non sia la mobilità bolognese.
Quell’opera, oggi, febbraio 2009, non serve più. Prima di spiegarle il motivo, però, ci permetta di informarla su una curiosità bella e istruttiva, come diceva qualcuno tanti anni fa. Coloro che giusto l’altro ieri, di fronte alla “ferale” notizia giunta da Bruxelles, sono blurted flooding the local newspapers of dozens of statements full of indignation, accusing the government and she had rowed against, or belong to the Democratic Party more generally to the left.
Well, even evil. Because in October of 2007 - less than a year and a half ago, so to speak, when staying at Palazzo Chigi Romano Prodi - was the same parent of the Olive in the Environment Committee, Senator Francesco Ferrante, to define the pass-through "an unnecessary and damaging . Better to work immediately for alternatives. " Well, sixteen months ago on the left condemned to eternal fire work, and today Draghetti Venturi (vice president and the Province), not to mention the usual Errani, consider the way through vitale per Bologna, l’Italia e probabilmente il mondo intero.
Detto questo, per amore di precisione, veniamo alle ragioni in base alle quali il bypass autostradale a nord della città sarebbe opportuno chiuderlo definitivamente nel cassetto dei progetti mancati. Sono due. La nuova autostrada Cispadana, già approvata dall’assemblea regionale, farà diminuire del 10 o addirittura del 15 per cento il carico veicolare sul passante nord. Inoltre, la terza corsia dinamica del tratto autostradale che attraversa la città è destinata a ridurre ulteriormente il traffico che sceglierà il passante. La conseguenza è una sola, caro Presidente: l’opera ha perso da tempo il suo punto di forza, quello di essere appetibile in terms of profitability. Therefore, if the bypass to the north no longer needed and would be too costly for state coffers to finance it, instead, becomes essential to close the ring road south of the capital. Essential to avoid the risk of blocking the entire city.
