What Kind Of Bugs Are Clear

considered free (213): Speaking of oil ...

In these days when powerless to rise in price of petrol and diesel, I think it is a useful exercise to read a chart on oil exports in the world.
There is a figure that jumps immediately to the eyes. Among the countries that export more than one million barrels only two per day, Norway (1.8 million) and Canada (1.5) have been a mature democratic system. One can perhaps add to these two Mexico (1.3), but its structure is very fragile, as evidenced by the inability of the institutions of that country to fight the big drug traffickers. Taken from these three countries the largest producers and exporters of oil have been with more or less authoritarian governments, however, far from the canons of Western democracies: Saudi Arabia (6.4), Russia (5.4), Iran (2.2), Nigeria (2.1), UAE (2.0), Iraq (1.9), Angola (1.8), Kuwait (1.4), Kazakhstan (1.4), Algeria (1.3) , Venezuela (1.3), Libya (1.2).
Faced with this data surprising to a certain point, the crisis of recent weeks, linked to the riots taking place in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya and those dreaded in other countries, perhaps the same as Saudi Arabia. Compared to the first great oil crisis, the embargo of 1973 - which forced the Italians to give up the car on Sunday of 'austerity - the so-called black gold market is much more globalized and has not been concentrated only in Arab countries, gathered in the OPEC cartel. But that crisis and the subsequent ones that have occurred with increasing frequency, there have served to use less oil, have only led international investors to buy into more number of countries. According to data from International Energy Agency in 2010, oil demand increased by 2.7 million barrels per day in 2011 and is expected to grow to 1.7 million others. Market globalization has not brought greater security because on the one hand, the sellers, as I said before, they are still countries without democratic control and with a high level of corruption and other large multinational buyers are increasingly disconnected from the interests of governments that only theoretically should respond. To put it another way: on the one hand, the corrupt and the other those willing to be bribed.
then I try to make a purely and strictly utilitarian, from an expert of realpolitik, as were a sergioromano any, do not want anyone to accuse me of being a visionary - has happened and probably will again - and I want to avoid that kind of view it is immoral to fund regimes that deny human rights of their citizens. These speeches are "beautiful souls" by people who understand nothing of politics. Leaving aside the moral, I would like some of those clever and intelligent, those who understand everything in short, to tell us that convenience is to continue to depend for our energy from people misunderstanding - and maybe the Communists - like Chavez, as a former -KGB agent Putin, from folk tribal leaders like Gaddafi or an old satrap as King Abdullah. E ' very convenient to continue to invest in oil as this resource is not only destined to end, but between now and when the last drop is extracted and global stocks are depleted, is run by such governments, perhaps with the risk that they are even upset by young revolutionaries, despite the unconditional support of Western corporations and governments as their coachman flies? Would not it be more useful - I repeat it more useful, more just do not - try to invest on a different model of development based on renewable energy sources? Waiting for some answers, although I suppose that none of those who understand to read my little blog. Personally, I think we begin to think in a world that makes less oil would be more useful, more cost-effective, and would be even more fair, but do not tell too much.

"Cracks" by Mario Benedetti

The truth is that there are cracks


so passing

remember those that separate the left-handed and right-handed
the Beijing and Moscow
the sighted and myopic
the cops and prostitutes
the optimists and the abstainers
priests and exorcists
officers and queens
the easy and incorruptible
the prodigal son and investigators
borges and Saturday
uppercase and lowercase
blasters and firemen
women and feminists and bull

the Aquarian condoms and revolutionaries
the virgins and the powerless
agnostics and altar boys
immortals and suicides
the French and non-French
the short or long period
all But there are remediable
one very deep crack
and the one that is halfway between man and the wonder
disenchanted
is still possible to jump from edge to edge

attention but here we have all you
and we
to sink
ladies and gentlemen
to choose which side to choose
resting his foot.

Baby I'm Cute Sayings

considered free (212): about a strange class struggle ...

E' doveroso riconoscerlo, prima di ogni altra riflessione: sono un dipendente pubblico e sono un privilegiato. Non c'è crisi che tenga: il mio posto di lavoro e il mio salario sono garantiti. Non dobbiamo mai dimenticarlo, noi dipendenti pubblici, soprattutto quando ci confrontiamo con le persone che lavorano nel settore privato.
Fatta questa necessaria premessa, credo sia giusto commentare quello che sta avvenendo negli Stati Uniti. Il governatore del Wisconsin, il repubblicano Scott Walker, ha proposto una legge per tagliare i salari ed eliminare i diritti alla contrattazione collettiva dei lavoratori del pubblico impiego. Il primo obiettivo, quello sbandierato nei comunicati e nelle conferenze stampa, è quello to restore the deficit in a state hit hard by the economic crisis. But the unspeakable goal, although it escaped the same Walker in a wave-off, is to complete the picture of Reagan: to weaken the public sector unions, as well as in the eighties was the case with the private sector. And Governor Walker is already finding imitators in the Republican Party who is preparing for the 2012 presidential campaign.
Despite the protests of workers in Wisconsin, particularly teachers who are the most tenacious in the strikes of recent days, the project goes forward, because it is viewed positively by many citizens, many workers who suffer daily the effects of the economic crisis world. Anyone who has seen month after month, reduce the salary, those who have lost their jobs, who saw their savings vanish in the failures of large investment banks, who failed to redeem the mortgage on your house, all of them - and unfortunately million - no longer tolerate that there are other workers, most of the money paid their taxes, they paid much less than the account of the crisis. It 'a particular form of class struggle that is fought entirely within a single class, a sort of "civil war" Class, if you will pardon the expression, or a "war between the poor." Step
from global to local. A few days ago we workers of the Municipality of Salsomaggiore we decided to proclaim a state of agitation, with the blockade of overtime. against the decision of the City Council not to include in the budget of 2011, the proportion expected to pay for specific projects over the working time. The protest is little more than symbolic: we do not do more overtime, however, that there would not be paid. I attended the meeting and voted strongly to the proposal of the state of agitation, because the real issue here is not only the appropriation of this fund to be allocated to additional salary, but also the fact that in recent weeks the unions - and so the workers - have not been involved in a phase of complex decisions that necessarily provide the sacrifices, even painful. Our town, like almost every town of Italy, was hit by a series of cuts and a policy which, although they profess to federal, is becoming more centralized.
While recognizing the right reasons for our protest, I do some 'hard to explain them to others. For example, my wife, who in the past two years has gone from one job to another precarious, with wages at the limit of decency, and no recognition of rights, plus the failure of a company of real crooks - I spoke spread to other "considerations" such as the no. 26 and nr. 36, which I recommend reading - in which were the only ones to pay the workers. I struggle to tell our claims to the many people in the province where I live, until recently, lots of jobs and opportunities, are subject to layoffs.
In Italy, as in the U.S., there is a continuous attack against civil servants. In Italy there is a Minister on the fight against the "lazy" based his political career. There is a growing percentage of workers who suffered severely because of the crisis, thinks that our privileges are unfair, or at least unjustifiable.
not my intention to defend the civil servants, tout court. I know that we are lazy and the union is wrong when he defends people that are indefensible. It is not this not the place to do a story of the civil service in Italy, which, especially in some regions, represented a form of welfare for many families. But I would defend the role of public servant, and I think this should open a serious debate, especially on the left, not just hide the problems we are and where we must intervene. A society needs people who work for the community, for others, needs of public schools, public health, law enforcement, he even need a bureaucracy, which of course must be honest and efficient. Years and years in which we have been taught that "the State is not the solution, ma il problema" hanno lasciato il segno e pesano nella coscienza collettiva. Lo Stato serve e serve tanto più a chi è più debole, serve di più nei momenti di crisi, serve ai lavoratori, a tutti i lavoratori, pubblici e privati.
Per questo dobbiamo ristabilire un patto tra lavoratori, riuscendo a sconfiggere l'idea che tende a posizionarci su opposte barricate, in una logorante guerra di posizione. A un mio collega che lavora nel settore privato vorrei spiegare che quando lotto per fare meglio il lavoro di dipendente pubblico, lotto anche per lui, rendere efficaci i servizi di cui ha bisogno la sua famiglia. Gli vorrei spiegare che non sto difendendo un privilegio, ma difendo la dignità del mio lavoro e allo stesso tempo difendo l'idea that the state is useful, that the government serves everyone. I would ask him respect, of course, aware that this respect I deserve me, doing well the work for which he, with his taxes, I pay your salary. I hope you can continue to fight together because, as they say in Latin, stabunt simul simul cadent .

Interview Suits For Juniors

from "Tomorrow and the millennium" by José Saramago

As for the visions of the future, I think it would be preferable that we should begin with the concerns of the day tomorrow, when we assume that we are still almost all alive. In truth, if Remote 999, somewhere in Europe, the few papers and then there were those many theologians who had thrown predict how it would be the world after a thousand years, I bet that would totally wrong. However, something I think we would have guessed more or less: that there would be no fundamental difference between the confused human being today, who knows not and will not ask where it lead, and people are terrified that, in those days, believed to be close to the end of the world. In comparison, it will already expected a much greater number of differences of any kind between the people we are today and what happens to us, not in a thousand, not a hundred years. In other words, perhaps we have much more in common with those who have lived a thousand years ago than with the others who will live a century from now the planet ... And 'now the world he is ending at sunset is what a thousand years ago was just dawning.
However, while the world slowly starts to end, as the sun slowly starts to go down, why not dedicate ourselves to think a little 'day tomorrow, then tomorrow when we will be known almost all live happily? Instead of a number of proposals recklessly up and free use of the third millennium, which he most likely will be responsible to immediately send up in smoke, because we do not decide to make the simple ideas and projects that are affordable for any understanding? These, for example, if there is no better: a) develop starting from the rear, that is closer to the front ranks of the growing masses of people being left behind by development models in use; b) promote a new meaning of human duties, making it fully correlated to the exercise of their rights; c) live as survivors because the assets, wealth and products on the planet are not inexhaustible; d) resolve the contradiction between the claim that we are increasingly close to each other and the evidence that we are increasingly isolated and ) reduce the difference, which increases day dopo giorno, tra coloro che sanno molto e coloro che sanno poco.
Credo sia dalle risposte che daremo a questioni come queste che dipenderanno il nostro domani e il nostro dopodomani. Che dipenderà il prossimo secolo. E tutto il millennio. A proposito, torniamo alla Filosofia.

"Think of others" by Mahmoud Darwish


Mentre prepari la tua colazione, pensa agli altri,
non dimenticare il cibo delle colombe.
Mentre fai le tue guerre, pensa agli altri,
non dimenticare coloro che chiedono la pace.
Mentre paghi la bolletta dell'acqua, pensa agli altri,
coloro che mungono le nuvole.
Mentre stai per tornare a casa, casa tua, pensa agli altri,
non dimenticare i popoli delle tende. While you sleep
counting the planets, think of others,
those who can not find a place to sleep. While
free yourself with metaphors think of others,
those who have lost their right to express themselves.
While you think of others, while those further away, think to yourself,
and say maybe I was a candle in the darkness.

considered free (211): Speaking of things that are angry ...

In a brief comment on Facebook, I already pointed out - and luckily I was not the only one - the oddity of a head of government (unfortunately ours, ça va sans dire ) that denigrates the public schools of his country, applauded by his minister of education. Such a thing could not happen anywhere else in the world. If chiedeste a Barack Obama com'è la scuola pubblica statunitense, egli certamente comincerebbe a citare risultati positivi e a fornire statistiche per sostenerne la validità. Anche se faceste la stessa domanda a Gheddafi - se avesse tempo per rispondervi - vi spiegherebbe che le scuole della Jamahiriya sono le migliori del mondo. Direbbero tutti la stessa cosa, anche quelli consapevoli di mentire.
Spero almeno che l'ennesima cretinata detta da B. ci spinga un po' a riflettere sulla scuola italiana. Ammetto che sul tema sono manicheo: per me la scuola è pubblica o non è. Non ci sono vie di mezzo. Naturalmente le famiglie hanno tutto il diritto di scegliere per i loro figli una scuola privata, ma questa scelta non deve assolutamente ricadere sulla collettività. If you want a private school must pay for it until the last penny. I know this is a utopia in Italy - and a curse - because this country stands for private school and Catholic school can not remove the hierarchies of those resources that have been hard won. I must admit I have been really good, because they are managed, against the constitutional provisions, to let the feeling spread the idea that families have the right to choose schools for their children who feel more akin to their values. It is not true: families have a constitutional right to have a public school that works, if you do not avail themselves of this right is their choice, with all the consequences, also the economic case.
That said, the problem is not the difference between public school and private school - however it is very largely of inferior quality, since the teachers there generally dropped from public schools to teach students who fail in public school - which frankly is the quality of the private school is something that should interest the institutions and society. The real problem is the gap in public schools between north and south of Italy. In some regions of the South, according to data from Pisa (an acronym for Programme for International Student Assessment ) provided Invalsi, the Evaluation Institute of the Italian school, almost 25% of the olds are not able to perform simple arithmetic calculations or to calculate the exchange rate between two currencies, 15% are not able to interpret and process information in a simple text. In Italy the school dropout rate has reached 19.2%, again with huge differences between north and south. According to the Agnelli Foundation over the past year a student at Pisa in the north has 68 points more than his colleague in the south, as if this were back a year and a half.
This, dear President, it should be ashamed of, even more of the wind his words or his shameful moral conduct.

considered free (210): Speaking of principles and the Constitution ...

few days ago I bought the Italian edition of "Indignatevi!" , the lucky pamphlet written by Stéphane Hessel. As the text, another very short - just over twenty pages - has been widely reported in the summary and press the European and Italian, I bought the book not because I was curious to read it, but as an act of witness. I'd like that in Italy this book became a publishing event, as happened in France, and I have given my modest contribution. The life of Hessel alone is already a political manifesto of the twentieth century and his invective has incredible strength, just because it comes from a man who lived by the protagonist, European history since World War II to the present. Hessel retains its dignity even when wearing it, as happened recently in an impromptu rally in front of thousands of university students in Paris, a Phrygian cap, now associate more smurfs that the revolutionaries of '89. Hessel
asks young people to get angry in the face of evil in the world and this is sacrosanct: after all, as I have written several times, what is happening in North Africa is just the result of indignation, no longer suppressed and not smaller, young people in those countries. As the outrage alone is not sufficient, Hessel evidence to indicate a way to address this most sacred desire of rebellion and cites the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , where he was also one of the drafters manuals. Initially, this proposal seemed to me a bit 'weak. I thought the Declaration can not be considered a "text to the left", tout court, because it is a summa of principles that must be accepted by all, regardless of the political views of each.
Then I thought about what's going on in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and I realized that Hessel is absolutely right. The principles contained in the Paris Declaration are challenged every day and is therefore in our commitment not only to defend Rights already acquired, but also to give effect to those rights that these are now only on paper.
Something similar happens in Italy, about our Constitution. Defend the Constitution can not be regarded as the exercise of some old intellectual rhetoric, but a necessity of living each of us, especially those who insist on fighting because they affirm the principles of progress. I confess - incidentally - that to me the word "progressive" is always like, then we stopped using it because it was used in a campaign unfortunate, but I still find it meaningful.
I try to make an example of current of the Constitution and how need to defend it. In these days of information about the political world and, as usual, else and seems to deal only when switching from one character to another parliamentary group of fourth and fifth row, but underneath all this smoke and toxic diversion, is also cooking the roast. For it is in the House debate on the so-called law end of life, which profoundly alters a constitutional principle, in that batch before they rush to declare so many intangible. The Constitution is not only change with the amendments, but also drain the principles. The second paragraph of art. 32 of the Constitution it says

Nobody can be forced to a specific treatment if not for provision of law. The law may in no case violate the limits imposed by respect for the human person.

The Constitution, in essence defending the right of everyone to choose how to heal and even cure. The law currently under discussion in practice decide that this right is lost when the person is not capable of discernment and especially when he is in imminent danger of death. To sum up: when I'm healthy right, I lose when I get sick, which ironically is precisely the time when I'd need more. The law recognizes that a national debate when it is still capable of understanding, to express, in an official manner, of its wish to be treated as - Or not be cured - in the final moment and can also decide to appoint someone you trust to make this decision, however difficult. But the same law also says that this statement will express only a guideline, the physician may not take into account, and that the decision of the person named as "guardian" has a lower value than that of the doctor. So even though I have expressed, in an official manner, will not be force-fed, when this was my only connection with biological life, and although my wife, with whom I shared most of my life who knows me, which I dealt with a subject as intimate and personal - with all the implications ethical and religious means - decide that this is the best choice to make, because I have named my "guardian", in case I lose consciousness and be life threatening, a doctor who is not me experiences may make a decision completely opposite, because the law, this law has given it such power. There is a large majority in parliament supporting this law: any center-right, parties of the "third pole" and also part of the center. Forces in the country there are conservatives who support this law, first of all hierarchies ecclasiastiche that have closed both eyes to the sins of the chairman of the board, but to bring home this law, which marks a retreat from the objective individual liberties. This law will not only the strength of the grid which supports it, but also the weakness and the fear of what theoretically should be opposed. Personally I consider this a betrayal of the principles of constitutional law and I hope that the judiciary could intervene, waiting to grow a popular consciousness on the issue.
attempt to amend Art. 41 of the Constitution I have already spoken - in the "account" number. 122, to be precise - and I will not turn on.
point where we're at, with violent attacks against the conservative right is taking our rights, the deployment of the Centre should follow the principles of the Constitution. The program is already written, do not need a long book, like that of 400 pages written by the Union in 2006, or a series of images and ideas, such as that proposed by Veltroni in 2008, enough that we take our Constitution and what do the election campaign. Maybe we risk winning.

Stomach Flu Phoenix 2010

considered free (209): about a surprise announcement ...

a certain journalistic rhetoric, which in recent years have tirelessly for more, we tend to abuse of the adjective "historic" to describe events that barely exceed the gauntlet of news: There are historic elections, historical games, pageants, and so on. Despite this necessary premise, I think it only right to define what is going on in town this week in the Maghreb. The story as it evolves often surprises those who live in those same events that posterity will remember as momentous steps, critical to the history of mankind. I have also written in a "consideration" recently, always dedicated to the uprising of the south coast of the Mediterranean countries: in 89 we were surprised by the sudden collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe very fast, although any serious analysis indicated now the growing crisis of that model and those political structures. Again, we - let me unworthy to use this pronoun to indicate who militated then the Italian left, in particular the Communist Party - though for some time, we discussed, to put it mildly, about the end of the "thrust", leaving a sense of that passage, however, a feeling of uncertainty and surprise. This background
to say that a certain wonder, a moment of impasse , the difficulty in understanding how to move are also justified given the current riots in Arab countries, the events that follow one another so tumultuous. Enough, however. Now the surprise can not be used as a justification for myopia and the inability of the international community. Have been a few weeks now: the time has expired. Let us admit that the facts of Tunisia have caught off guard Western governments, already the surprise is less justifiable in the face of facts Egyptians, but say that it continues to be surprised even in front of what is happening in Libya to be mean or stupid or be in bad faith. I guess some foreign minister - to avoid misunderstandings always speak of true ministers, not the lackeys in Italy that use this title - it will surprise even for the next riots in Algeria.
What is happening in those countries could be expected. Just look at some numbers: the Arabs are about 350 million, more than half of them younger than 30 years, the level of youth unemployment is on average, across countries, between 30 and 40%, income per capita is among the most lowest in the world. Who soul riots in recent weeks, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, are young people who have studied in part - despite the high rates of illiteracy, they have a higher level of education than their parents and their grandparents - I know, or at least have a glimpse - through television, network, or traveling, the riches of the Western world - an opportunity that their fathers and grandfathers did not. There are millions of young people who have no perspective in their countries, ruled by corrupt autocrats, and they realize that there is no prospect even in emigration, as the crisis has affected the whole world and that to them in Our country is a strong prejudice. The problem is not Islam, not anti-Western hatred - even though these components in the crowds, but not decisive - this huge mass of young people, simply asking to have a future: it is something that can not be stopped. It 's a powerful force, even more explosive because it has long been compressed. Perhaps unexpected was the spark, unpredictable was the first outbreak, but subsequent explosions were to be provided. And this is even worse what is happening now in Libya, with an unknown number of dead left in the streets by the angry reaction of Gaddafi and his mercenaries.
one would expect that the reaction to Gaddafi was in line with everything he has done during these long years of dictatorship. As Shakespeare said, "there is method in this madness." The Libyan dictator has literally bought by the United States and Europe, a sort of license to behave like a madman. It must have been particularly fun to see him pull in his tent Italian politicians and businessmen - and beyond. To all of them, which are usually presented with hat in hand, offered contracts, loans, equity infusions, the blockade of immigrants and so on.
What's done is done: at this point we can not continue to stay here to calculate someone who has spent more time in the tent. The United States and Europe must break down Gaddafi as they have captured and killed Saddam Hussein. If they want to reverse the order - first kill then capture it - so that the Libyan leader reveals some embarrassing secret - do well. At this point we need to save the people from a massacre and a little 'our dignity.

Why Do American Bulldogs Walk Funny

by "The conflict of the faculties" of Immanuel Kant

This event is not in itself important facts or misdeeds by men, by which what was great between them becomes smaller or what was great and small, as if by magic, disappear beautiful old buildings policies, and, almost pulling out of the depths of the earth, others are born in their place. No: none of ciò. Si tratta semplicemente del modo di pensare degli spettatori che, in questo gioco di grandi trasformazioni, si rivela pubblicamente e manifesta una così generale e pure disinteressata partecipazione di coloro che si schierano da una parte contro quelli che stanno dall'altra, pur con il pericolo che questo essere di parte possa diventare per loro molto svantaggioso, ma così si mostra, almeno nella disposizione, un carattere del genere umano nel suo complesso (per via dell'universalità) e insieme un suo carattere morale (per il disinteresse) che non solo fa sperare nel progresso verso il meglio, ma, per quanto è sinora possibile, è già come tale un progresso.
La rivoluzione di un people rich in spirit that we have seen happen in our time, may succeed or may fail, it can be so full of misery and atrocities, that a man who thinks rightly, if he could hope to complete it successfully carrying out a second time, not ever decide to try the experiment for that price - this revolution, I say, however, is the soul of all the spectators (who are not personally involved in this game) participation at the level of enthusiasm that borders on desire, and same event which resulted in some danger, so that participation can have no other cause than a moral disposition inherent in mankind.
Questa causa morale che interviene è duplice: in primo luogo è quella del diritto di un popolo a non essere ostacolato da altre potenze a darsi una costituzione civile che gli sembra buona; in secondo luogo è quella dello scopo (che è al tempo stesso un dovere) per cui è legittima e moralmente buona solo quella costituzione civile che per sua natura è tale da evitare per principio la guerra di aggressione, e che, almeno in teoria, non può essere che la costituzione repubblicana; dunque del fine di entrare nella condizione nella quale la guerra (la fonte di ogni male e corruzione dei costumi) venga fermata, e al genere umano, nonostante tutta la sua fragilità, venga così assicurato progress towards more negative, at least in not being hindered in its progress. This, then, and take part in the well with an affection, enthusiasm, although it is not entirely justify, because every affection itself deserves blame, given the opportunity, through this story, to make an important observation anthropology: a real enthusiasm always refers only to what is ideal, namely, purely moral, as is the concept of law, and can not engage in the personal interest. The enemies of the revolution, through rewards, could not be suffused by the greatness of soul and that the simple concept of law was born in revolutionary, and even the concept of honor of the ancient warrior nobility (similar enthusiasm) disappeared in the face of weapons of those who had printed the right in the eyes of the people to which they belonged, and which is believed defenders; sympathized with this exaltation external audiences, who was a spectator, with no intention of cooperating.

considered free (208): Speaking of Sanremo and work ...

"Radio stabs me with the flower festival" Sergio Caputo sings, and these days it is very difficult to escape the event song: I will not feel bound and I dedicate my new "account" just in the Sanremo Festival. I honestly do not idle or useless to think about this event. It is not just songs. And even if they were just songs, the festival is seen by almost la metà delle famiglie italiane, è il programma di punta di una delle più importanti agenzie culturali di questo paese: merita una qualche attenzione. E comunque - lo ripeto - non stiamo parlando solo di canzoni, come spero di riuscire a dimostrare.
Siamo talmente abituati alla mediocrità da rimanere stupiti di fronte alla normalità. Ci ho pensato guardando la terza serata del festival. Svegliandomi estremamente presto al mattino, ho praticamente smesso di guardare la televisione, che già prima delle mie levatacce guardavo di rado. Ma visto che giovedì e venerdì ho potuto alzarmi un po' più tardi del solito - comunque intorno alle 6.30 - e che era ampiamente annunciata la presenza di Roberto Benigni, giovedì sera - naturalmente with Zaira - I made an exception. Benigni I really enjoyed it, but I will not talk to him, the Tuscan artist is another category, and frankly the "medium" level of culture and beauty of the show on Thursday, and the entire festival, can not be calculated based on him.
Returning to the show so to speak "normal" on Thursday evening, I found some other aspects worthy of note: the style of conducting Gianni Morandi, interpretations of Roberta Flack, Anna Oxa, David Van De Sfroos, the quality of arrangements and the ability of the orchestra, the irony of Luca Bizzarri and Paolo Kessisoglu, so I got the impression - hot, so to speak - To attend a show quality, above average for what is commonly seen on television. Of course there were definitely moments in the media: embarrassing singing some interpretations, the entr'actes hard to bear - on the other hand one of the authors Federico Moccia figure with its cap - the cumbersome and unwieldy in the presence of the future Mrs. Clooney, the exploitation by pimps the beauty of Belen Rodriguez, and so on. Looking back with a cool head, I came to the conclusion that the evening of the festival was not television excellence - of course, always less benign - but just a show they have worked on several people who know how to do their job. And this in our country ends up being revolutionary. To make a good media do not need some genes, but many ordinary people are sufficient.
And since we're not just talking about songs, it seems to me that this happens every day, in every context. When I'm at work, I hear of people who would like to thank my colleagues for their professionalism and kindness that they have found in our office, even though they came only to ask for a certificate or to renew their identity card. Net capacity of my colleagues - which is still high - I think that this proves that we are so accustomed to the approximation when we go to any public office to be surprised when we treated in maniera normalmente competente, anche per una pratica semplice. E lo stesso avviene - purtroppo è una constatazione comune e difficilmente confutabile - negli ospedali, nelle scuole, in molti ambienti di lavoro, anche privati. Ho già scritto diverse volte delle condizioni al limite dei diritti sindacali e costituzionali in cui sono costretti a lavorare tanti giovani, ad esempio nei call center , e non voglio tornarci sopra. E questo favorisce naturalmente la mancanza di professionalità. Mi pare quasi - ma magari su questo sarebbe necessario un maggior approfondimento - che a fronte di paghe basse e diritti inesistenti quei lavoratori, piuttosto che reagire chiedendo maggiori diritti, si rifugino nel far male il proprio lavoro. E' una sorta chase to the bottom of the concept of quid pro quo: You give me a little, but I work bad. Instead, the work should be honored, again, because it is something precious.
To return to the pop songs and television, I think that really work too many times, both of whom appear on the stage of who is behind the scenes, not at all honored. And here the damage is probably deeper than the Italian television is doing to this country, not so much cloying bias of certain news or some news programs. This television has taught a generation - and continues to teach - which is not so important what you do and how do you know but who you are, what you wear, how others see you.

Sperm Inside The Coffe

from "Persian Letters by Charles Louis de Secondat Baron de Montesquieu

Paris is the size of Isfahan, and the houses are so high that you would say all inhabited by astrologers. You will understand well that a city built in the air, with six or seven houses on each other, is popolosissima, and that when the people are all in the streets there is a beautiful mess.

[...] Do not think for now I can talk to the bottom of the habits and customs of Europeans do not have a clue, I just had the time to be amazed.
The King of France is the most powerful prince in Europe. It does not have gold mines as the king of Spain his neighbor, but has more wealth for him, because derived from the vanity of his subjects, the most inexhaustible mines. The initiate and support we have seen great wars with no other funds to sell securities of honor, a prodigy of human pride and his troops were paid, his strongholds fitted, equipped its fleet.
Besides this king is a great magician: his empire also carries on the spirit of his subjects, makes them think as he wishes. If there is only a treasure in his million crowns, for which I need two, it is enough to persuade them that a shield is worth two, and they believe in it. If you must engage in a difficult war, and has no money, must not do is put their heads that a piece of paper money, and they are soon convinced. He comes to make them believe that it can cure them of all evil by touching them, so great is the strength and the power he has over the spirits. As I say this principle should not be surprised: there is another magician more powerful than he, who dominates his spirit no less than he over those of others. This wizard, called the pope, now makes him believe that three equals one, that the bread he eats is not bread or wine is not wine, and a thousand other things.
And to keep it in operation and does not make him lose the habit of believing, from time to time sent him some article of faith. Two years ago, sent a long written, called Constitution and threatening severe punishment would require this king and his subjects to believe in everything that was there. The thing he could against the king, who immediately surrendered and gave an example to his subjects, but some rebelled and said they would not believe anything of what was written. Proponent of this revolt, which divides the court, the whole kingdom and families, were women. This Constitution forbids them to read a book that all Christians say they came from heaven, and how their Koran. Women outraged at the outrage done to their sex, all rose up against the Constitution , and drew on their side on this occasion the men who do not want to have any privilege. However, it must recognize Mufti does not think that this so bad, and, for the great Ali, is believed to have been trained in the principles of our holy law. Since women are creating a lower than ours, and our prophets said that will not go to heaven, why should pry read a book that is made to teach the way of heaven? The king
I heard tell wondrous things that is hard to believe. It is said that while the war was to his neighbors, who had joined the league against him, was surrounded by countless enemies in his realm. He adds that they tried for more than thirty years and has not been able to find one, despite the tireless zeal of certain dervishes who enjoy his confidence. Quei nemici vivono con lui: sono alla sua corte, nella sua capitale, nel suo esercito, nei suoi tribunali; e tuttavia si dice che avrà il dolore di morire senza averli trovati. Si direbbe che esistono in generale, ma non come individui: è un corpo che non ha membra. Senza dubbio il cielo vuole punire questo principe di aver usato poca moderazione verso i nemici vinti, dal momento che gliene dà di invisibili, e tali che il loro genio e destino sono al di sopra del suo.
Potrei continuare a scriverti, facendoti conoscere cose ben lontane dal carattere e dal genio persiano. Una è la terra su cui viviamo entrambi, ma gli uomini del paese in cui mi trovo e quelli del paese dove sei tu sono assai diversi.

considered free (207): about multiculturalism ...

In cases like that happened a few days ago in Rome's words of consolation and justification may make us feel better, but they should not hide the truth, however harsh: Sebastian, Helen Patrick, Eldeban and Raoul are not the first children Roma died in the fire in a dilapidated hut and certainly will not be the last. Sooner or later a new tragedy happens, we'll see the same desperation in the eyes of parents, who feel the same words as you bounce the responsibility. We must thank the President Napolitano was able to express, through the efficacy of a gesture - that paternal caress and private - our pain and our despair. But we can not stop this.
I know that the theme of acceptance of the Roma is one of those that divide, but this is not a reason not to address it. When it comes to Roma, Gypsies, usually tones are raised, the controversy you are cutting. Two face each other with this emphasis minorities. On the one hand there are those who can schematically define the "bad guys" are those who say that the Roma do not work because they do not want to work and prefer to steal, those who say that it is useless to spend their resources as they are no longer recoverable, those they say that the houses should be given to the Italians and so on, we heard all the footage a few days ago. On the other hand there are the good guys: are those who, with the same unwavering safety first, find a justification for whatever they do the Roma, who complain that the society of their difficulties in finding a job, to join those who think that should be in front of the reception sacrificed every other principle. None of these will help solve the problem. Between these two poles there is the majority of people, those who watch the Roma with suspicion and fear, those who say the problem is too complex, those who say that after all there are far more serious problems. They are the majority - we are the majority - and then inevitably it evades the issue, you leave. The day after the tragedy the Corriere della Sera reported the news in news, the inside pages, after the so-called political commentary and news from Egypt, after a few days the news has ceased to be such, and then deleted from the newspaper. The powder was quickly put under the carpet.
Roma have already spoken to other "considerations" - the no. 154 and nr. 166, to be precise - trying to explain what I mean by comfort level. If you want to try those thoughts, which I do not want to go back today to concentrate on another issue.
The presence of the Roma, as well as questions relating to social policy choices of the various administrations, it should also make us reflect on the complex relationship that exists in our society - for the sake of brevity called European, although there are considerable differences from each other - between the majority and the minorities, often numerically large, cultures, lifestyles and religions. I find it quite strange that on this issue, at least in Europe - in Italy do not say it here and we always talk about only one thing - you're exerting the most conservative and progressive front: I personally think that this is a cause, not a minor, the current difficulties of the European left to talk with citizens. Before then David Cameron and Angela Merkel, who lead countries where immigration is a very significant phenomenon, spoke the end of multiculturalism, a few days ago, the Cardinal Ravasi, "foreign minister" of Benedict XVI, spoke of the need to replace the multicultural approach to intercultural.
I want to bring some reflections Ravasi that I think are particularly interesting.

need to build a comparison that is not confrontation, in which the values \u200b\u200bare communicated without losing its identity: a sort of cultural coexistence, very delicate and complex.
Multiculturalism is a fact of life since ancient times, but today has become emblematic in the city, where you see coexistence of diverse cultural identities, sometimes almost of fundamentalisms that are next to each other: with sparks clashes.
dialogue, as stated in this beautiful Greek word, presupposes the dia-logos, and then the relationship between the two logos. This means that intercultural did not as a destination identification, construction of a single global society. The temptation was to multicultural
the duel, the strongest can take more space. What we need to create intercultural awareness is rather a duet, in which music can be composed of a bass and a soprano. What could be more different for those two items? And because there is harmony, is it necessary that the bass and soprano singing in falsetto tone down?
No, the main thing is to have a strong sense of identity, why do not you box without a face.

I think, from what happens in our country with the difficulties of a coexistence increasingly difficult to end up with what's happening in the world, particularly in the southern coasts of the Mediterranean, this is a reflection to be developed carefully.

"Watchman" by Fredric Brown

was wet and muddy and hungry and cold and he was fifty light-years from home. A foreign
sun gave a cold blue light and gravity, twice what he was used, was in every movement an agony of effort. But
after tens of thousands of years this part of war had not changed. It was convenient to were fine with their ships are polished and overtook them, but when it came down to it, it was still the soldier on the ground, the infantry, take and hold it, with blood, inch by inch. Like this damned planet of a star never heard of it until we had landed. And now it was sacred ground because there too the enemy. The enemy, the only other intelligent race in the galaxy. Cruel, disgusting, repulsive monsters.
The first contact had taken place near the center of the Galaxy, after a slow and difficult settlement of a few thousand planets, and it was the war immediately, and those they started shooting without even groped an agreement, a peaceful solution.
Now, planet to planet, it was fight, with tooth and nail.
was wet and muddy and hungry and cold, and the day was raw with a violent wind that hurt his eyes. But the enemies were trying to infiltrate and every outpost was vital.
He stayed alert, gun ready. Fifty thousand light-years from home, fighting on a strange world and wondering if he would ever live to see home again.
And then he saw one of them crawling toward him. He took aim and fired. The enemy made that strange horrible sound they all did, then did not move again.
The sound and sight of the corpse made him shudder. Many, over time, they had become accustomed, there were more cases, but he was not. Repulsive creatures they were, with only two arms and two legs, the ghastly white skin, and without scales.

Sulla musica commerciale

A few days ago I found this post on one page on Facebook devoted to Avril Lavigne-
The post talks about Avril, but obviously with Avril just change you name and address does not change.


- oh my God, I hate this guy, making music business.
- already, and then ... do not listen to some music that is as rottenness.


then, explain to those who have published such a crap that the music business is not a crime.
plus and explain to the fans of Avril, her music is commercial, in every way, and there is NIEEENTE wrong with that.
I personally listen to commercial music every single day since it step by Avril 30 seconds to mars.
but I do not understand you, 12enni laid down by the fact that if a song is labeled commercial then it sucks. And since
AVRIL E 'DEA OUR MUSIC THEN SHE DOES NOT COMMERCIAL. Rovinj
now telling you that your dream is -
why deny something so only because he is my idol seems stupid.
Boh.
Sorry, I had to vent somewhere.

Well, this post puts his finger, perhaps in a somewhat 'spontaneous, a little' emotional, one of the clichés and false arguments that are all the rage.
Or the catalog as a thing to despise the music business.
make it clear: since there is a cultural industry, or industries producing and trading in mass culture (books, films, discs, DVD, Play Station, CD-Rom, blue ray, etc etc) our culture, mass culture and pop, as they say in America, is closely linked and tied to trade. Books
discs and movies are made because some (many) will read / hear / see.
Umberto Eco is commercial, commercial and The Beatles are so pure, Avatar and Titanic are commercial.
Lo and Shakira (who I adore, mind you) and is (as she says above), Avril Lavigne.
do not like, do not buy that product!
But do not break the soul saying that you do not buy things because business is pure hypocrisy.
One might say: but quality?
The quality certainly does not depend on the success, neither positive nor negative.
Jaws is a commercial film (B of serious snob would say the ordinance), but is also a masterpiece. Idem
Avatar, Titanic, Psycho etc etc. I am not the
cinepanettoni, but not because they are commercial, just because they are mundane and repetitive, without wisdom, without any taste film,
So it is one thing being a commercial product, it is one thing being a poor product , which may very well be the products of limited success. And who knows if
Aristophanes and Shakespeare at the time were not considered commercial or too popular for their time.
likely that there will be assessments of 20,40,100 years will be very different from today, and I do not do historical examples that there would be in clusters.
For example, when the criticism came Psycho Hitchcook killed him saying that it was an indelible stain on the career of the Master. Twenty years after he was declared one of the greatest films of all time.
But here we enter into the evaluations of the critics, that's another story.

Il Bunga bunga del potere

return for the last time on this sordid affair for a consideration which I think should be done. Many have not grasped what I think is the true meaning of the so-called Bunga Bunga and what is around us. Most put it
su un piano morale, dicendo che un capo di governo, ovvero un uomo di potere, non dovrebbe comportarsi in modi non dignitosi e non consoni alla carica che ricopre.
Questa affermazione è, su un piano formale, e dal punto di vista della teoria democratica, assolutamente condivisibile.
IL problema è che non coglie che Berlusconi è uno che delle formalità se ne strafrega, come delle democrazia.
Io credo che una delle ragioni per cui il signore in questione si dedica alle attività che sappiamo è proprio perchè egli si sente ed oggettivamente è un uomo di potere.
Non credo che una persona come Berlusconi dovrebbe avere problemi a trovarsi una amante "regolare", non perché sia una persona amabile o ammirevole, but for the obvious position that he has and that makes it attractive to many. In the end Veronica Lario became his mistress when he was regularly married to his first wife.
E 'much more likely to be surrounded by boys aspiring actresses or clothes, or even aspiring to political careers unlikely that you promise favors, houses, jewelry, bright career as well as fertile bank accounts, is nothing but the expression of power in its purest form.
A small circle of "friends" who do you favors in exchange for favors, the right to exercise the maximum power that can be exercised over others, or power over the bodies of others, possessing the bodies of young women who otherwise , culture nature and you deny.
With the money, Karl Marx observed, you can buy everything: soccer players, businesses, political opponents of the deployment and the illusion of beauty and seduction resulting through the purchase of the youth of others.

considered free (206): about capitalism ...

Today I want to tell a story of true capitalism. Walmart is the world's largest multinational, the retail giant was organized in 2010 a turnover of 408 billion dollars and 14 billion of net profits, its employees and 2 million 100 thousand and 138 million people each week come into one of its shopping centers to make at least one purchase. The company's philosophy is summed up in a slogan very simple: "We are working to lower prices every day." Especially in times of crisis such as these might seem the best way to help people, but we need to see some other numbers to see if it does.
The average salary of an employee of Walmart is 14 thousand dollars a year, compared with 18 thousand of competing chains. The U.S. government has recently decided that the poverty threshold for a family of three is $ 15,060: an employee of Walmart, which also must be paid his salary with an ever-increasing share of health care, literally a living wage starvation. And there are even worse conditions. On 23 October, federal agents have Walmart is a blitz in 61 supermarkets in 21 states: 250 illegal workers were arrested. The company has downloaded the responsibility for external companies, which has contracted out some work. Maybe so, but it is the result of the industrial policy of Wal-Mart to keep prices so low. In the supermarket in Piscataway, New Jersey, were found many illegal immigrants Mexicans working there for years, making cleaning and filling the shelves at night. The immigrants worked 60 hours a week for $ 6 an hour, with no contract, no healthcare, no vacation or overtime. Perhaps this goes without saying that the multinational trade union does not exist, because, as explained recently in an interview CEO Lee Scott, "we think it is better to deal with our employees at the individual, without intermediaries." Walmart
The effect is striking, however, a much higher number of workers. Safeway and other supermarket chains have decided to reduce health care to their employees trying to cope in any way compete with Walmart. And the consequences do not stop there and also involving the producers of goods and consequently millions of other workers. Walmart has a significant market share so they can impose their purchase prices to producers, who can not afford their products siano esclusi dagli scaffali della catena. Naturalmente sono i lavoratori, ancora una volta, a pagare le spese di questi contratti capestro, con la riduzione dei salari, l'aumento delle ore di lavoro, la diminuzione dell'assistenza sanitaria.
L'altra leva usata da Walmart per tenere i prezzi bassi è l'utilizzo sempre più massiccio di prodotti importati dai paesi in via di sviluppo, in particolare in Oriente. Nel 2002 Walmart ha importato merci dalla Cina per 12 miliardi di dollari, il 10% delle importazioni statunitensi da quel paese; la multinazionale importa il 96% dell'abbigliamento, l'80% dei giocattoli, il 100% dell'elettronica. Anche in questo caso è inutile ricordare gli scarsissimi livelli di tutela dei lavoratori. Se are horrific conditions of Chinese workers who produce the products Apple, which also has a code of ethics - if you want to read the "account" number. 121 - think about what can happen in a Chinese jeans factory, whose products have fallen in two years in U.S. stores from 27 to 8 dollars is easy to see who pays the difference.
Some reactions in the U.S. there have been. In Walmart, as I said, there is no union and no strike, but workers from some other supermarkets, whose directors have introduced "style Walmart, have organized several strikes. It did not affect either the firms or to consumers, because U.S. companies can hire temporary someone in place of a worker on strike, and then the various stores were open. Despite all these strikes have begun to reflect public opinion on the excessive power of this company, in the name of liberalism and the ability to help the most vulnerable consumers, have very serious reflections on the U.S. economy and global, contributing to made to further increase the number of poor. Some local governments have sought to limit the opening of new supermarkets, but Wal-Mart promotes and supports, including financially, of the referendum illegitimate to consider these decisions. This is quite clearly of patches, inappropriate alone to close a wound. There is the fondo l'idea salvifica che il mercato sia capace di regolarsi da solo, aumentando il benessere della società. Invece aumentano soltanto gli utili e diminuiscono diritti e salari dei lavoratori. Dovrebbe pensarci qualche nostro politico, recentemente convertitosi sulla via di Detroit. Il mercato da solo non è in grado di tutelare il lavoro: occorrono le leggi e un'amministrazione capace di farle rispettare. Occorre anche più sinistra: a chi predica la fine del Novecento e della contrapposizione tra capitale lavoro, chiedete cosa pensa di un lavoratore il cui salario è inferiore alla soglia di povertà. Nessuno riuscirà a convincermi che questa è la modernità.

"Wires" by Fatma Qandil


The first thread
I asked to introduce myself to you
not to tell the wrongs they have suffered long
But to enjoy the splendor of the throne
Where can I hide my face My face prostrated
that you have created
There will be nostalgia
I'll keep it hidden long
I know that you would never give up my prostration

And resist the urge to watch it, perhaps only now that ride
put there as an obstacle
Never let your feet will stumble.

The second thread I will talk about the trees whose roots have never left the ground

They grew up in the air that connects our house to the garden
And their branches are twisted around it with precision
And you can already pass through while
Indeed resting your chin on them every time you block
Futile conversations
This is demonstrated by the fact
What also immediately brings to mind
E 'difficult remember the details. The third wire

dancer in a circle of light
does not distinguish the darkness of the stage from the audience
If man does not make mistakes
lights stand out a flight over the heads
When the theater is lighted
light insults
Lights out
The dancer asks confused
Where did the music?
The fourth wire As if she were here

As if it were sitting on the sidewalk and watch the passers

As if one could tell at a
As if all of you were speaking with her at the same time
And when the brawl broke out
All
And she vanished sat on the sidewalk
A call

While a trickle of blood was falling on his knees. The fifth wire

Since attempted murder is a crime

forge new evil in my fist and lick
what cola from his fingers.

The last thread I've been forced into this bag
I have closed the opening with a rough rope
owe me at least not to scream You know I'm not so
severa
Da gettarti, per esempio, dall’alto
O da prenderti a calci
Anche se dopo un po’ mi giudicherai per non aver annodato bene la corda
E ascolterai le lamentele per la durezza del sacco
Perché non è comodo come cuscino
E anche per il tuo continuo movimento
Bene, dividerò con te il sonno
Perché sei l’unico che riesce a svegliarmi.

SE prevailing tendency to deny their historical and cultural identity

Roger Scruton


We Europeans appreciate why democracy gives us control over our governments and we have a government that controls us, but can not be controlled by us is one of the worst evils in politics. However, many Europeans are prepared to laws imposed by bureaucrats who have never been elected and should not be held accountable for their mistakes. Some of the most important decisions about our lives are issued by the European Court of Human Rights, composed of judges non eletti, molti dei quali provenienti da paesi che non hanno una lunga esperienza dello stato di diritto. Voi in Italia avete avuto di recente un’esperienza in tal senso, con una sentenza che intendeva far rimuovere i crocefissi dalle vostre aule scolastiche, in quanto lesivi dei diritti umani.

La maggior parte di noi vede le migliaia di direttive irreversibili emanate dalla Commissione europea, le sentenze a motivazione ideologica della Corte Europea dei Diritti dell’Uomo come una minaccia alla democrazia. Ma sembra non esserci modo di riformare tali istituzioni atto ad evitare il problema.
Senza che nessuno lo volesse, noi europei siamo giunti ad una situazione in cui la maggior parte delle nostre leggi ci vengono imposte da persone che have never been elected and does not assume responsibility for their mistakes.

Some are willing to live with the problem, believing that the benefits outweigh the costs of the European Union. Others - especially the 'Eurosceptics' of my country, believe that the costs outweigh the benefits. For them, this confiscation decision making by unelected elite is a fatal defect of the European project. Any point of view, it embraces, it is surely obvious that the move toward global governance is a movement that takes us away from democracy.

It can be assumed that globalization is inevitable. We also believe that it should not intrude in system of government. For a truly democratic globalization is something that must be countered by political and not absorbed by it.

Imagine a village that trades with its neighbors, with whom he lives in peaceful relations. All decisions affecting the village as a whole are taken by a Council elected. In turn, this Council send a representative to the central government to advance the interests of the village in the National Assembly. History tells us that this process is the best that can be achieved democratically. We can imagine several levels of representation between the village and the government's representation at the county level, region, canton, etc.. The principle is, however, clear: democracy is control from below, where is the people who decide.

Suppose now that there is a movement for political reform which the village is too small an entity to take the necessary decisions for the common good. The village must therefore be considered, for electoral purposes, as part of a big city which is ten kilometers away. The reasons are easy to imagine trade relations, mutual interests and needs of the neighborhood are threatened by the autonomy of the village. For example, you may need a road outside the city, to solve the problem of traffic congestion. The only way possible, however, passes near the village, thus disturbing the peace of mind that the villagers enjoyed previously. The village of course will vote to oppose the road so it will be built. However, if the village was incorporated into the city, the number of votes of the villagers would be exceeded by that of the inhabitants of the city, then comes the realization of the road. The 'enlargement of the level of government has led to a loss of democracy in the village.

The above illustrates a general principle: the more extensive the scope of a system of government, the less control people have on 'environment. This is illustrated very clearly in terms of infrastructure and planning. The Swiss villages have retained many of the democratic rights than anywhere else have been 'seized' at the hands of central governments. Therefore, it is noted that it is impossible to build a large highways in many mountain passes, as the local people regularly vote against such proposals. Traffic in the rural Switzerland is markedly slower than elsewhere, and the boundaries of the villages are much more clear and sharp.

In France, the motorways are decreed by the government, the land is acquired only by decree and the National Assembly can have a say.
a result, the traffic is more efficient in France the national economy benefits from the life and near the highways is hell. France is therefore more democratic than in Switzerland or less so?

Some may argue that the power of the Swiss cantons and villages to prevent projects that might be beneficial to the entire country and therefore goes against the will of the majority. In France, however, the power of the central government does not take account of local interests means that the common good can be promoted in spite of local self-interest and the majority have a predominant role in the decisions that concern you.

Others might say that depriving the local decision-making powers and the exercise by the central government, it means a loss of democracy, because it implies that decisions are no longer made by those who are directly involved and that the voice of true human community is rarely heard. Which interpretation we give to it?

When a group of nation-states come together to form a Union that have legislative powers, each of them loses the right to take decisions on matters relating to national character, in return for participation in decisions that affect the group as a whole.

When and what is justified in relation to this? A treaty between the neighboring states to defend their territory from external attacks a contract is easy to read. Neither party loses more than it gains, and at the same time, each retains sovereign control over their internal affairs. The contract for mutual defense does not imply real transfer of sovereignty and it is itself subject to democratic control. The population of each state can vote to terminate the contract at any time. Bilateral treaties were, therefore, rarely seen as threats to democracy: on the contrary, they were often perceived as the natural outcome of the democratic process, whereby the people give their governments the freedom and the duty to act in their interest.

Multilateral treaties may not be no threat to the sovereignty of the states or the democratic process. Even when these treaties create a shared agenda for the bureaucratic institutions - such as NATO, for example - do not constitute a threat to democracy, to the extent that they do not go beyond the purpose for which they were signed. The petitioners maintain sovereignty in all areas, including those relating to the treaty. Although they have obligations in the treaty, the latter arise only in specific circumstances and shall be freely accepted by the national parliament as the price to pay for the benefits.

Multilateral treaties are a means to manage globalization. As states become more più soggetti alle pressioni esterne, essi possono unirsi per stabilire trattati e procedure per resistere a tali pressioni: trattati per proteggere i loro ambienti condivisi, le risorse naturali condivise (come il patrimonio ittico e le risorse idriche), ovvero preoccupazioni condivise nell’ ambito della sicurezza. Il punto più importante è che un trattato, così come ogni contratto, conferisce un potere di veto ai singoli firmatari. Se i termini non sono rispettati da una delle parti, gli altri sono liberi di ritirarsi e così il trattato viene annullato.

In tal senso i trattati possono essere utilizzati per controllare la globalizzazione e per assoggettarla alla disciplina della democrazia, proprio come il processo politico Switzerland is subject to the discipline of local democracy by requiring the consent of local communities for the decisions that affect them.
Not all, however, have dealt with contractual terms. Since the end of World War II a new type of treatment has become common, a contract in which the parties withdrew their decision-making capacity in the areas governed by the Treaty would transfer them to organizations that their national electorates can not control.

The European Union it is a paradigmatic case. Just as the International Criminal Court, the World Trade Organization and the European Court of Human Rights, the European Union è una forma di globalizzazione e non un tentativo di resistervi. Nonostante siano stabilite da un trattato, queste istituzioni confiscano i poteri legislativi dei loro membri ed impongono agli stati-nazioni leggi e normative per le quali le loro popolazioni non voterebbero mai, ma che non possono respingere.

Si considerino le disposizioni relative alla libertà di circolazione sancite dal Trattato di Roma. Esse garantiscono ai cittadini europei il diritto alla libera circolazione su tutto il territorio dell’Unione per cercare lavoro. Al momento della firma del Trattato di Roma sussisteva in certa misura una parità dei tassi di reddito e di occupazione delle nazioni interessate, e nessuno prevedeva il verificarsi di migrazioni di massa da un capo another of the continent. Italian citizens if they had been consulted on the issue, they would have voted for an amendment to the Treaty intended to not include the clause on freedom of movement, which would oppose the accession of Romania to the European Union. But the citizens were not consulted and therefore the Italians are forced to accept the immigration of Romanian citizens, although many are strongly opposed to this phenomenon. I'm not saying that the Italians are right, but that is what they feel. Also, consider that it is their democratic right, through their elected representatives to impose immigration controls: after all it is still their country. This the law has been banned. Express any preference in the elections, Italian citizens can not do anything to claim that their country is their return.

This is an example of a critique that is moved in all the countries of Northern and Western Union. We have lost control of our borders and there is no way to regain that is compatible with the status of EU member states. Moreover, there is no way to change the European institutions in order to tackle this issue. The provisions in the Treaty are not like ordinary laws: they can not be corrected by the Parliament and, once in force, are effectively irreversible, or reversible only if si rifiutasse il Trattato e l’intera sovrastruttura istituzionale e procedurale costruita su di esso. Nessun partito politico ha il coraggio di farlo, dal momento che le conseguenze sono incalcolabili.

Coloro che hanno concepito i Trattati di Maastricht e di Lisbona erano consapevoli della perdita di credibilità dell’Ue di fronte ai cittadini dell’Europa. Tuttavia, erano membri di una nuova classe politica, convintamente transnazionale, ben retribuita nella vita professionale e dipendente dagli apparati europei per i propri privilegi. Tale classe politica forma parte dell’economia globale. Si relaziona con maggiore facilità con il settore delle aziende multinazionali che con le collettività locali, intrattiene rapporti with the elites of other places and covers the tasks without friction plantations established within the EU.

A typical example of this class is our new Foreign Minister, Baroness Ashton. No one in Britain knew who he was when his appointment was announced. It has never been elected to any of the offices that he held, came to the House of Lords by the Labour Party and its network of NGOs without attracting attention to himself, and was appointed as our representative for foreign affairs without nobody in my country, but his fellow members of the new political class, was able to express their opinion on it. This political class is much more interessante per le aziende multinazionali della gente comune, dato che controlla una macchina legislativa che passa sopra le teste dei cittadini. Attraverso l’attività di lobby a Bruxelles, le grandi industrie del mondo possono modificare le leggi di ogni nazione in loro favore.

In qualità di membri di tale classe politica, coloro che redigono i trattati UE sono ovviamente attenti a salvaguardare la loro posizione. Sono stati compiuti molti sforzi per creare una sorta di ‘simil-democrazia’ in cui un Parlamento Potemkin simula di prendere in esame la legislazione e simula di esercitare il proprio diritto di veto sulla stessa, ma nella quale, in realtà, nessuna nazione all’interno dell’Unione può far valere its power of veto. The treaties reassure us that is in effect the principle of 'subsidiarity', according to which decisions should always be taken at the lowest possible level, but at the same time imply that the EU and the Commission to decide what that level. Therefore, subsidiarity is simply another term for that control exercised from the top down that has seized our national legislative powers, guaranteeing the exercise only in cases where we grant them the non-elected officials.

What we are witnessing in the EU, and also within the new forms of international tribunals and regulatory agencies as the WTO and United Nations agencies, is the globalization of politics. Rather than defend national sovereignty, global invasion, the political process supports the overall invasion at the expense of the nation state.

One might ask: why not? What's wrong with that? Since we live in a global society, perhaps we need a global government to solve our common problems? The problem with this approach is that it ignores the principle on which any democracy based its legitimacy, or national identity. In a democracy the citizens identify themselves as part of a first person plural 'us' which is based on the legacy of the past and history, manifests itself in language, religion and attachment to land and community. In Europe, that 'we' is a 'we' National, and it is this concept that politicians are used to obtain the consent of citizens for political choices that may lead to sacrifices in the short term.

The Italians want a government that defends and promotes the interest of the Italian national. They do not want a government that promotes the interests of a class in international politics or the global network of multinational corporations. However, an increasing number of their laws are imposed by the political class, under the pressure of aziende che svolgono attività di lobby.

Cosa dovremmo fare, dunque? Il mio parere personale è che, senza dei cambiamenti radicali, l’UE entrerà in un periodo di crisi. Un numero crescente delle sue decisioni saranno eluse o respinte, e i cittadini cercheranno in ogni modo di riconquistare quei poteri dei quali sono stati erroneamente privati a favore dell’UE. In un modo o in nell’altro l’UE deve cessare di fungere da agente della globalizzazione e diventare un centro di resistenza ad essa, uno strumento per imporre l’ordine politico sull’entropia economica e sociale. Ritengo che l’unico modo per raggiungere tale obiettivo sia ristabilire la sovranità nazionale in tutte quelle aree in cui è stata persa: definire come raggiungere tale obiettivo spetta, tuttavia, ai politici e non a un semplice filosofo.
