Arrivederci Randy, spero di incontrarti in Paradiso!
Guadagnate 10 minuti! Guardate la "lezione di vita" di Randy Pausch che ha tenuto allo "Oprah Winphrey Show", e versate senza vergogna qualche lacrima. La vita è meravigliosa e va vissuta intensamente in ogni situazione, attimo e contesto. Riflettiamo e poi chiediamoci se è giusto sopprimerla arbitrariamente!
IL VIDEO DEL DISCORSO HA SPOPOLATO IN RETE ED E' DIVENTATO UN LIBRO
È morto Randy Pausch, commosse il mondo con la sua «Ultima lezione»
Docente alla Carnegie Mellon University di Pittsburgh, era malato di cancro. A settembre l'addio ai students
WASHINGTON - In his "Last lecture" Professor Randy Pausch, who taught computer science at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, said he did not want to be pitied and not wanting to talk about death, but life . He, 47 years and three children, died of pancreatic cancer that has spread despite treatment his body beyond repair. The final lecture to his students, held in September, was recorded and - networking - was a resounding success. Pausch talks about the dreams of childhood, the importance of dreaming and the ability to realize their desires.
HYMN TO LIFE - A lesson in life - not just of his discipline - a greeting that has deeply touched not only students at Carnegie Mellon, but around the world. And that became a book, titled "The Last Lecture," published by Rizzoli in Italy, where the themes of the lection are developed and deepened. "I have a system problem - the teacher announced, starting the lesson in front of 400 students -. Although I have always had amazing physical shape, I have ten liver metastases, and I have only a few months of life. " The final meeting between the teacher and his students, between irony and deep reflection, it was transformed into a moving hymn to life.
In two days I will do eighty years, and so I go back to the Final Judgement in respect of which most hope in the mercy of God in justice, for the first will be saved because of my merits, but not of His free grace, and the second would be condemned.
I lived as a Catholic, some sinner, but as a Catholic faithful of the Roman Catholic Church, in obedience to the things he thought of having to obey, even bending my opinion that the Pope and the bishops, aware that the verdict of man, if it is not illuminated by faith, even in the intellectual capacity to know its strengths with some the truth is always tainted by the passions and the error undermined the wound it has inflicted on the man with original sin. But I always tried to honor the principle of the supremacy of conscience, which I tried to make well-educated and well informed. I could not as I wanted to become a lawyer. From patriotic democratic, republican and anti-fascist, I tried to serve the Republic, the Italian nation and also my "little unfinished nation and homeland": Sardinia. Well I know that it was not a man of government nor a statesman, but I hope I was not a useless or worse, harmful, although some modest servant of the Republic. The occasion of my eightieth birthday does not deserve nor any ceremony or celebration. Who wants to generosity and kindness to formulate wishes, do not. If you are a believer in God, Christian, Muslim or jew, you pray for my good death. And if someone, not having read this almost my obituary, I will send out the cards, not overshadow if I did not write it for you! Unfortunately I have to think about the game of chess for a long time I'm playing with death!
the courtyard of the Cathedral of Milan is decent and human to be laid on water bottles. There is no need to discuss, we can only protest compassion
Water for Eluana. From today, the next few days in the churchyard of the Cathedral of Milan is decent and human to be laid water bottles. There is no need to discuss, we can only protest compassion. We can only protest. We can only exercise the freedom to contradict trampling reason is that symbol of the square under the shadow of that symbol of faith which is the Cathedral. Cathedral Square is a place of choice of religion and good citizenship. It 's the right place. It 's the place to gather around the well of the Samaritan woman, and its water. A few miles from there in Lecco on the edge of the lake Manzoni, a living woman is going to be thirsty and hungry from our collective ego, fear of death and contemptuous of human life, science, shameless and family without hope. There is to be seen whether the Christian faith is able to save without or even against the imperatives of ethics and classical bourgeois need to act. It is to act on a square, a square, silently and severally liable, according to the vocation lay Catholics and the Christian culture of the laity. This is the ethical discern good from evil (hidden object) and strive to do good (by the inevitability of sin). Not for the curiosity of Eve and the authorization of the biblical Adam, of course, but according to reason and speak, according to the Logos, which for Christians is an incarnation of staff, a fact. Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself: So, do not thirsty. Fa 'to others what you would have them do to you: therefore, to' drink to the thirsty. Many in the world are thirsty and in danger of dying. But none like Eluana. None to sentence a judge. None for the evolution of culture. None to father's desperate decision. No one in the dumb name of his previous will. None as standard for the finding of a human law will so-called biological or euthanasia. None as a guinea pig ideological one more step on the path of radical de-Christianization of the world. No one is thirsty for a trivial incident philosophical become universal civil religion, the religion of good death, good death, according to the modern capable of giving dignity to the person who receives it in his bed or autonomy and freedom to anyone who gives in his lap. Nobody in the world dies of thirst for secular vanity and necrophilia. A Eluana, as happened to Terry Schiavo, it could happen. Beniamino Andreatta has lived nine years in a hospital bed, in Bologna, which is closed to direct and understandable to the rest of the world but not the love of his family and his friends. When he went to town, the Head of State visited him. He went to find someone. Not a tomb or something, that you may have. There was a warm body, which in a few days it became cold, as he died Andreatta. Giorgio Napolitano, who made her sensational doubts at the time of the call of Piergiorgio Welby in the name of the right to die could be come a doubt this time. To the contrary. On behalf of the right to live. You may visit the churchyard of the cathedral and lay himself a bottle of water. Could invoke a moratorium against the death penalty law, imposed a sister of the sisters with the caution of torture Misericordine humanitarian, that will not dry out the mucous membranes and discomfort of dehydration is limited.

appeal to civil society for the right to life Eluana!
This appeal is to defend the right to life of Eluana and opposed the request to discontinue hydration and nutrition. This break would cause the death of Eluana, and this only after a long and painful death, as was the case for Terri Schiavo in 2005.
take the life of a person, just because sick or disabled or unconscious, is an unacceptable practice in any country that wishes to continue to be amongst those civilians.
LA VITA E 'UN BENE inviolable and unavailable, and no one can arrogate the power to remove at will.
*** "I require the life of man to man, to each his brother" (Gen 9.5)
" is [...] becomes more and more tempting euthanasia, that is to take control of death and bring in advance and thus ending the "gently" to the life or others. In reality, what might seem logical and humane, in depth is seen to be senseless and inhumane.
Here we are faced with one of the more alarming symptoms of the "culture of death", which is advancing above all in prosperous societies, marked by an attitude efficiency and which sees as intolerable and too burdensome the growing number of elderly and disabled people. They are very often isolated from family and society, organized almost exclusively on the basis of efficiency criteria production, according to which a hopelessly impaired life no longer has any value. "
is an ancient demon Tuesday is the one that reappeared on the stage of Roman piazza Navona. It is the demon that drives an ongoing part of Italians to believe not only that their country is governed (or can be at any moment if they win the 'other' ) by a corrupt gang of rogues, but that these villains, after all, are nothing but the true mirror of the country, or rather of its majority. It is the demon, precisely the divisive morality: that is the idea that Italy is not a single country, with propensities aspects, good and bad characters, inextricably intertwined in all its parts and to some extent within each of us. No, but Italy would be a country with two souls, two moralities, even two people of opposite sign. On the one hand the Italians bad (by nature reactionary, cheaters and abusers) and on the other hand the Italians good (of course, equally democratic, law-abiding, alert to the public good). On the one hand short, Italy majority morally gray, and in front, to try to fight, the one that likes to call "another Italy ', hopelessly in the minority.
The representation of this way of looking at it is staged in the most obvious on stage in Rome where it became clear, precisely, that the essential thing was to scream loudly that Berlusconi embodies the best of possible opprobrium . Forgetting that, just imagine if one did not like his no good reason, especially since there must be good reasons, however, if a majority of Italians voted for him. But morality is precisely to frustrate every political issue of this kind: the majority of Italians voted for Berlusconi? And what's the problem? It means being made of his own pasta, is proof that the villains are like him.
It is an old story, I said, this moralism. A story that begins immediately after unification, the anger for the miseries of the country and the disappearance of the great hopes are transformed in the Risorgimento indictment of his political classes, the 'legal country', which continues with the antigiolittismo of much of the national culture that, at the denunciation of the misdeeds of the "minister of the underworld," now associated with important new moral inadequacy of the complaint of the opposition Socialists, be guilty of colluding to keep him and drone. A story, then, that until now seemed to culminate and condensing in the flaming Gobetti's preaching and his devotion to the "heroic minority 'Call to fight against everything and everyone. Against Giolitti, against Turati, against Mussolini: all equally guilty, although for various reasons of course, to promote the "miseducation" moral and political life of the Italian people. Also considered - needless to say? - Not wanting anything else.
were writers, poets, the academic class, intellectuals in general, to play a central role in giving rise to this tradition of moralism in feeding and divisive. A role refers to the political role of conscience of the nation's intellectuals have always been in Italy before and during the Risorgimento, and who have remained until today.
The Italian political history in particular in the 900 was in many ways, in fact, a history of political commitment of intellectuals, and this commitment has been practiced mostly as a denunciation and excommunication from the moralistic tones of a policy with no name, but Italy's "bad," and "we do not like this Italy," according to the famous words of John Amendola.
is natural that such an attitude ally be promptly and cherish, is a temptation for any opposition force. The Italian left should know. After the war, in fact, the Communist Party began a policy of close alliance with the intellectuals, and therefore it did precisely measure significant divisive moralism that characterized the Italian tradition in their efforts. Moreover, an anti-system party as was the Communist Party of the time - sure you can not ever get to the government through regular, condemned to permanent opposition - of course it was divisive. Of course it had to feed the division into 'good' and 'bad'. The cut moralistic intellectuals who added there was therefore, and it was certainly significant, if only to keep alive a tradition, but the cold realism of Togliatti took care not to do with it ever take my hand, to block all approach to land crucial decision policy. Where there remained famous for his "openings" and its "dialogue" (Even with the ex-fascists).
Things started to change completely with Berlinguer. It is then that in fact the gradual discrediting of the communist tradition and the crisis of the USSR left the Communist Party more and more devoid of its historical identity. It is then that the ideological vacuum, which now becomes progressively political vacuum, inexorably begins to be increasingly filled with hardening moralistic. Which in turn tends to become de-legitimize scream, creation of an implacable enemy, because even as a result of a "genetic mutation". With fewer workers and more and more members of the "reflexive middle class' in its ranks, influenced by unscrupulous publishing groups that aspire to almost dictate the line under pressure from new types of judges who consider themselves and invested with justice as an ethical mission, and then conditioned by a foreign press used to drastically simplify an Italian company which in essence does not know, The PCI finds nothing better to do the "moral issue" his new ID card. Unable to convert to the Social Democrats, the party of Gramsci and Togliatti, who also once was aware of the harsh policy dilemmas, which is not presented as "the party of honest people ', who entrust their hopes to discredit the moral of' opponent.
There is a dramatic repudiation totale di una storia, una rottura sociale e antropologica, quello che potrebbe definirsi il salto verso il moralismo in un Paese (e dunque in un partito) solo. È da quel momento che un nugolo di professori, di giornalisti, di teatranti, di showmen televisivi, di romanzieri, comincia a pensare ormai di essere di fatto il padrone dell'elettorato di sinistra. E, quel che è peggio, in una certa misura lo diventa davvero. L'8 luglio romano ha rappresentato l'esito di questo lungo itinerario. Esso però dovrebbe aver fatto capire definitivamente, a chi non l'avesse ancora capito, che cosa implica alla fine il moralismo divisivo: in una parola la concreta impossibilità della democrazia. Se infatti l'Italia che politicamente non ci piace è made up of people led by a rogue morally obtuse, it is obvious that the only possibility is a death struggle, confrontation, uncompromising image, never. And if you happen to be so detestable that Italy wins the election then it is inevitable convinced that democracy, a system that allows such things, in reality it is nothing but a scam. But this is what is really convenient to the left? This is what should the Democratic Party?
Ernesto Galli Della Loggia (Corriere della Sera, July 13, 2008)
The drama of human life appears in all its urgency and relentless in his irrepressible question when sickness and suffering affect us . Even more if they last and do not open vanishing points, at least in the view of man. Disease and suffering should speak for themselves (some did, others have not had the chance), because only the experience makes more evident the reality and the polished court of reason. If his situation had been left in reserve - protected how was interference from journalistic, legal and political - of Eluana we would not have wanted to write, so far is the experience that separates us from you and your family. But this did not happen. His case has become public, loaded with implications and allusions emotional, symbolic, and administrative case law, and therefore can not remain without a clinical evaluation, ethics and morality, without a cultural and social thought. On tiptoe, whispering - like when you enter the room of one who is evil - we must speak with the utmost respect, or better, with great love for her. First, the clinical reality: Eluana is not dead (either from the point of view cardiovascular and pulmonary, either on the brain) or even dying (not a 'sick' with a terminal prognosis). The condition of "persistent vegetative state" for years in which pay is not clinically identifiable with a state of "irreversible coma" from which it differs, among other things, the possibility (not disabled) of an awakening, spontaneous or stimulated, and the presence of an important brain electrical activity and opening movements of the eyes, and not stimulated. Even the 'common sense' (to say nothing of the clinical gaze) appreciate these objective differences. In addition, the patient does not undergo any treatment that might fall in this case of 'fury terapeutico»: al contrario, essa viene curata amorevolmente dal personale medico e infermieristico che la assiste e le assicura l’idratazione, l’alimentazione, il ricambio, la mobilizzazione ed altre cure nella forma che corrisponde ai suoi bisogni fisiologici essenziali. Perché privarla di tutto questo per porre fine ai suoi giorni? Come il medico e l’infermiere potrebbero abdicare – seppure in ottemperanza ad una sentenza – alla propria scienza e coscienza, la cui evidenze mostrano ragionevolmente che attuare quanto previsto dalla Corte significa condannare a morte certa questa giovane donna? Da oltre due millenni e mezzo, la medicina è nata e si è sviluppata in Occidente per curare ogni paziente in qualunque circostanza physical or moral you are, only in recent times, and today more and more, including the restoration of health and save his life. Physicians are not called upon either to cause or accelerate the death process. Who can claim the right to violate the dignity and ethics that have made this profession very valuable to our society and a safe means of improving the personal life of citizens? They have considered the hydration and nutrition provided Eluana as 'medical procedures', as therapies that may be undertaken or suspended at any time, on the grounds of their clinical efficacy or futility. Instead, you must dissolve the misunderstanding: even if put in place by qualified personnel such as health, the nature of life support essential to the existence of the subject does not change. As noted last year, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "the administration of food and water even by artificial means is, in principle an ordinary and proportionate means of preserving life. It is therefore obligatory, insofar as and until seen to have attained its proper finality, which is the hydration and nourishment of the patient. " And in the case of Eluana shall continue to be of proven utility in supporting the physiology of the body and allow the person's life. In this delicate matter to judicial forum does not appear to be the most appropriate forum for decisions that, in the long history of treatment of humans, they found therapeutic alliance between patient and physician joint an appropriate location and reasonable settlement of the rights and duties, including figure - according to that gospel - that of "feeding the hungry and the thirsty."
few months ago, watching "Verissimo" Canale 5, I got to know this great "strength "called Adelaide.
A miracle, I do not deny that moved me so much. If so many people, far more fortunate, was able to have 1% of strength, faith and parents in Adelaide, life would be something even more wonderful.
Adelaide Bowl , fights and lives in Naples, she was born (June 6, 1999), with a rare lung disease, middle lobe syndrome. Adelaide is a little courage, despite being in constant danger of life, live every day with a big smile on his lips, giving thanks to God the love and opportunity that gives tick to see a new sun. Adelaide loves dance, drama and dreams of a normal life like all girls her age. He dreams of going to school every day because she loves school and dreams of becoming famous.
Adelaide wrote a book "Longing for Life" in which she tells a few months of his life in medicine, hospitals, the immeasurable suffering of his family and his friends and unquestioning faith in God and the Blessed Virgin, to whom he dedicates many prayers throughout the day. I recommend you read this little book and read to children who do know: first, the proceeds go to child care and its financing and then teaches you how to enjoy life in all its facets. "I wrote a book to tell people that you should not break down," said Adelaide. "When I tell the My illness does not want people to be cast down, my book is a message of joy. "
Adelaide writes: Life is a ray of sunshine that can sometimes seem obscured some small cloud, but remains bright. Life is the most beautiful gift, just knowing grasp. All its moments, all moments are lived in full with joy. The vote can be very beautiful especially if gives you friends, real ones that I got to. With Friends must always be sincere, because they will reward you . It 's very important to be able to write and listen without expecting great things in return. Life is something unique, it gives you a hard time, but it is also true that in a moment know give you an endless joy. does not matter whether it is long or short, is always the life and must be lived fully and with joy, but most of this gift
SAINTS MADONNA AND CHECK WASTE A Boscoreale a deterrent against the original garbage
(ANSA) - Naples, 27 June - Statues of saints and the Madonna on the road and piles of waste disappear, and 'the initiative to some residents di Boscoreale. Nella cittadina hanno pensato ad un deterrente originale e 'soprannaturale'. Ha iniziato il titolare di un supermercato: al posto dei cassonetti sommersi dai rifiuti e' comparsa una grande statua di Padre Pio. E nessuno ha piu' depositato immondizia. L'esempio e' stato contagioso. Poco piu' avanti una statua della Vergine ha sortito lo stesso effetto.
SIDEWAYS. Il film era uscito 3 anni fa, avevo comprato il DVD, ma non avevo avuto mai occasione di guardarlo. Non conoscevo la storia e, ovviamente, immaginavo fosse una celebrazione dei vini californiani della famosa Napa Valley, ma poi mi sono dovuto ricredere, mi è piaciuto più di “A Good Year” (Good Year). Miles, an aspiring novelist and wine connoisseur, he decided to take a trip with his best friend Jack, a failed actor, among the vineyards of Santa Ynez Valley the week before Jack gets married. Miles is in fact a great expert on wine, as well as an aspiring writer. Between meetings, comic situations and bizarre, the time spent together will give them the opportunity to reflect on the lives and aspirations. Emblem of the story becomes a vine: Pinot Noir as unique as unable to adapt to its surroundings. Miles says: "It has the thin skin is sensitive, mature early. And, well ... is not a force like the Cabernet, which can grow anywhere and flourishes even when it is neglected. No, Pinot Noir are treated with care. Yes, it grows only in certain small hidden corners of the world. E. .. and only the most patient and caring growers can do it, it is. Only those who really takes the time to understand Pinot's potential can do it make the most of its expression. And also, let's go ... oh, its flavors are the most haunting and brilliant, thrilling and subtle and ancient on the planet. " mistreated and instead Merlot - undeservedly - but who loves to taste the wine knows that one is never better than the other : sometimes you prefer the one and sometimes another. I appreciate the film, with no pride, because he has probably stimulated the curiosity of many and brought them closer to the world of wine. I had made a "good soul" of Mario with the "Troy" and vintages that were on holidays, while others were a good wine tasted in some particular occasion, or a good movie, a father or lover. It is important that you communicate the wine with all the love possible. Bello is what he writes the famous French wine expert Emile Peynaud: "Are you in a way that make the quality: if there are bad wines, and because there are bad drinkers. The taste is consistent with the roughness of the intellect. Each drink il vino che merita.” . Avvicinatevi dunque al mondo del vino. E’ meraviglioso. E’ sensazionale. Come Maya dice a Miles: “Il vino è un essere vivente. E amo immaginare l'anno in cui sono cresciute le uve di un vino. Se c'era un bel sole, se pioveva. E amo immaginare le persone che hanno curato e vendemmiato quelle uve. E se è un vino d'annata, penso a quante di loro sono morte. Mi piace che il vino continua a evolversi. Che se apro una bottiglia oggi avrà un gusto diverso da quello che avrebbe se l'aprissi un altro giorno. Perché una bottiglia di vino è un qualcosa che ha vita. Ed è in costante evoluzione e acquista complessità, finché non raggiunge l'apice. Come il tuo Cheval Blanc. And then begins its slow, inexorable decline. And it tastes ... shit, how good! "
Now I began to read the novel by Steinberg," Sori San Lorenzo ", dedicated to Angelo Gaja and his" immense "Nebbiolo grape and wine, which gives its name to book: the first pages I was already excited! I run, then you'll know!
Raid racist, says the attacker Rome: did I say Nazi, I left
Man Pigneto, Italian in his fifties wanted by police for the raid against some foreign shops in Rome denies being racist. "I left, but Nazi", told La Repubblica. That was not in the district Pigneto "no expedition" but only a personal vendetta for a wallet stolen. It shows the forearm with a single, large tattoo of Ernesto Che Guevara.
She has graying hair and a gold pendant on the wrist. "Here I am - says Carlo Bonini, chronicler of the Republic - I would be the Nazi who are out and get all the lace. Watch this. Look how I know Nazi ...". The left hand lifts the right sleeve of the jacket wearing green cotton and discovered skin on the forearm tattoo of Che. "Do you understand? Nazi to me? I was born May 1, the day of Labour Day and the grandfather of my wife, in twenty years, the fascists did to close the bakery because Pigneto did not take the card.
name? "What you will know very soon. The day he introduced me to judge, because that day my name will no longer be a secret. I introduce myself, my word. I make over co 'is history. But I want to go with my legs to introduce myself. Nun makes me vojo beve (arrestare) a casa. Perciò, se proprio serve un nome a casaccio, scrivi Ernesto". "Io sono questo qua - dice indicando la foto apparsa sui quotidiani - Questo cerchiato con il marsupio e la maglietta rossa, che si vede di spalle. La maglietta è una Lacoste".
"Ma quale xenofobia?"
"Adesso ti racconto davvero come è andata. Destra e sinistra si devono rassegnare. Devono fare pace con il cervello loro. Non c'entrano un cazzo le razze. Non c'entra - com'è che se dice? - la xenofobia. C'entra il rispetto. Io sono un figlio del Pigneto. Tutti sanno chi sono e perché ho fatto quello che ho fatto. Tutti. E per questo si sono stati tutti zitti con le guardie che mi stanno cercando. Because they love me. Because they respect me. Because they understood, "says the aggressor in the Republic. It speaks of a stolen wallet to a woman who I love as myself." An immigrant tells him that if he wants to find, must go into the store Indian , "because the thief is there. It 's a Moroccan, a Tunisian. There I go, I find him, the liar and an old Indian, an Italian. The Moroccan said to me: 'You go this afternoon and find the portfolio'. I say okay, and I swear, I'm not angry, nor cry. I just say: 'Of the money I do not give a damn. But the documents. "Ernesto goes over Saturday morning and that" Mustapha there, laughing, always with the fucking beer in hand, makes me sign documents has thrown inside a mailbox. So there I saw more and I said, 'If we see five. And if you do not jumping out of the portfolio breakdown all "'.
" I defend only my neighborhood
So the time of the raid: "I when I do not I bring no punches. The problem is that when I arrive at the corner of Via Macerata not find you a dozen neighborhood children? All pissed off and harnessed. I told you. I love you. They had heard of the tarantella. "" I really can not understand how they invented the story of the swastika. But as a swastika? I do not know this kid personally, but I say they are anything but that fascists. And, though there were no swastikas. "Then," the kid starts to run away to Ascoli Piceno. To me that was it. I see you are in makes a slaughterhouse with the Bengalis, who have made smashing the machines of people in the neighborhood, he began to cry. Cry: "A piece of shit that makes you stand '?". "The other day I tried to call also Luxuria, to PRC. I said, 'Dovemo talking.' He said, 'Yes, but because they are on the phone for a meeting in Cosenza.' So I say. You you'll be well in Cosenza, but Pigneto is also where you live, who we think? ".
The best communicator of the wine and food in the world? E 'Marcello Masi, deputy director of the TG2 and editorial director of food and wine book "Eat Parade", elected in the "Best Sommelier in the World - Worldwide Sommelier Association. "It 's an award - declared Marcello Masi - I want to share with my writing" Eat Parade - Tg2 "and all the Italian journalists who deal seriously agribusiness'. It is gone, however, the Austrian sommelier ( of birth) but American Aldo Sohm, the title of "Best Sommelier of the World" (Aldo Sohm has worked in three-star Michelin restaurant, Le Bernardin in New York), the 14 participating countries were: United States, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Poland, Portugal, Argentina, England, Andorra, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Spain, France and Italy of course. The American predecessor Roger Viusà English (European Champion) and the Portuguese Manuel Joaquim Duarte Moreira, ranked tied for second. The finals in Rome with a taste test, a correction of a wine list, a test of matching food and wine service and a practical test (for this test, the stage was simulated the situation in a restaurant with 4 guests that, for the record, were the great chef Gianfranco Vissani, the journalist of Tg5 Gioacchino Bonsignore, the sommelier Rai1 Adua Villa Clara Bar and the famous journalist) that competitors were welcomed and served as their place of work. "An event which had as its objective - the President wsa , Terence Medrano - to unite under one banner the protagonists of the wine world and communication. I can safely say that the challenge was won. "The next edition of the" world "which was performed in 2010 in Barcelona.
The statement by the Minister Mara Carfagna did not want the government to grant legal aid to the Gay Pride event has attracted the usual predictable controversy, culminating in the indictment of homophobia. Denying the sponsorship would be to disregard the rights of gay, starting with a thicker than symbolic, the right to marry. Little interests me at this moment, to assess on a strictly political attitudes of the young minister (attitude, however, not without wisdom, what I could perceive by the newspapers, even those most antipatizzanti against him). Most of the political question here is what is important is in fact a matter of law and anthropology, all in all elementary, but on which we continue to raise ideological fuss. Summarize them in a few key points. First point: gays have rights? Certainly yes, they have exactly the same rights enjoyed by any other human being: the only doubt would be absurd. Our Constitution, Art. 3 sets with clear determination that all citizens are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, personal and social conditions. It would be hard to imagine a better formulation of the constitutional principle of equality. It follows that any discrimination against homosexuals, because of their homosexuality, is to our Constitution (and our social conscience) is absolutely intolerable and removed. Second point: gays have a right to protest peacefully against all discrimination is perpetrated against them? Once again: absolutely yes (under the usual conditions of public policy that every event must be met). Third point: gays have the right to obtain the patronage of the government for their events? The answer is no: all those that trigger an event obviously have the right to 'ask' patronage, not to 'get it'. It is for the government whether to give, according to a simple criterion: it is in a real game public interest? In our case it is in place where discrimination against homosexuals, to justify the benefit of sponsoring Gay Pride, so highly symbolic, as the government? The answer is no, unless you give (but no one today can) concrete examples of social discrimination taking place in our country against gay people. Fourthly, the lack of legal recognition of homosexual unions in Italy is not objectively discriminate against gays? No, unless you try (and not simply affirm) to the contrary. But this is a test impossible, because the law does not classify it legally the sex lives of citizens (let alone that of gay). There is one exception to this principle, that of marriage, which is structurally heterosexual institution, however, because the founding family (as acknowledged in the art. 29 of our Constitution). The claim of gay men to obtain for any legal recognition of their partnerships (up to double that) has no social motivations, but only psychological and symbolic reasons that demonstrate the mimetic character of homosexual unions (as opposed to heterosexual) and their structural fragility (inherently strong union is defending itself safely, without the right to ask for help). Fifth point: Anyone defending positions such as those mentioned above, it was knows to give his side the accusation of homophobia. This is of course a charge that is very difficult to avoid in a debate like so ideologically connoted homosexuality. You should not however forget that the price for not being accused of homophobia is becoming far too high, it is neither more nor less than to give (consciously or unconsciously) all''eterofobia '. What is more, after all, if not a sign of irreducible and unacceptable 'eterofobia' attempt to clear from within the anthropological and historical reality of marriage as a union between man and woman?
E 'victim of constant attacks from some ignorant "sexist" and geese envious. She did not know of anything, not even his brilliant curriculum.
Mara graduated to high school with 60/60 "Giovanni da Procida Salerno, the most prestigious of Salerno, and subsequently received his law degree with honors from the University of Salerno and 110, and there I assure you that at the time the 110 cum laude in law from Salerno was not easy (I think today is the same!). It is also a diploma in piano at the conservatory.

Always the center-right, I went over to politics in 2004 with the women's movement in Italy that I coordinated force in the region Campania.Nel 2006 I was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in Campania District 2 in the list of Forza Italy. I served as Secretary of the Commission in October 2007 are Costituzionali.Da Affairs Coordinator of the National Women's Blue, a post he held attualmente.Eletta April 2008 the House of Representatives in the district of Campania in the second list of the people of Libertà.Dall '8 May 2008, Minister for Equal Opportunities of the fourth Berlusconi government. "
Bossi is right to point out that from the pulpit which has come criticism of the Berlusconi government is that of two ministers of a country, Spain, on immigrants who shot barrage in 2005.Ma did not say it all. The bloody incidents of 2005 broke out because Spain still maintains two Dominion on English territory, Ceuta and Melilla, which had bought from Portugal in 1668.Di done bluntly, they are two colonies, which in fact, quite rightly, Morocco continues to claim under his sovranitàNon enough, the English left-colonial-Hispanic defends these two cities, sending the Civil Guard to patrol from high walls that separate them from Morocco. Apartheid, technically, dunque.Ancora, in 2005 hundreds of Moroccans stormed those walls, to be able to go to Spain to lavorare.Ci was a shooting, for sure shot to the Moroccan police, who fired many NGOs supported the Guardia Civil: 8 dead, dozens feriti.Ancora: the Moroccan police, the Civil Guard to help defend the Wall, took dozens of Moroccans who wanted to emigrate, carried them into the Sahara and left them there, as reported always some Ong.Le two ministers were personally and jointly responsible for those scelte.Ora-Lima-insult Zapatero is Italy because of the closed camps irregolari.Se want to understand why the left is declining in Europe, here is a great track for an explanation.
The new government was sworn. Many have vowed to facciaccia also Bossi, Maroni, Zaia and Calderoli. I thought it appropriate to add the fourth image as "ministers": the business card.
Belle and certainly very competent, are worth double the previous one! Yeah, qunado form is substance, at least we hope! A special praise, however, to my great compatriot Mara Carfagna: will count as he did with FI in Salem!
L'anno scorso inviai a tutta la mia mailing list questa barzelletta, che poi non è tanto una barzelletta, e devo dire che mi hanno dato ascolto! Sarà stata la minaccia finale??? Ma nooo!
Si racconta che quando Dio creò il mondo, affinché gli uomini prosperassero, decise di concedere loro due virtù...
...e così fece.
- i tedeschi li fece ordinati e rispettosi delle leggi.
- gli inglesi perseveranti e studiosi.
- i giapponesi lavoratori e pazienti.
- i francesi colti e raffinati.
- Spaniards cheerful and welcoming.
Italians came when he turned to the angel, who was taking notes, and said
"Italians will be intelligent, honest, and communists!"
when finished with the creation of the angel said:
"Lord you have given to all peoples under two, but three Italians, this will cause will prevail over all others."
"damn it! It's true! But the divine virtues can no longer be removed, that the Italians have three virtues! However, each person can not have more than two together."
so it was that:
- the Italian who is a communist and honest, can not be intelligent.
- the one who is intelligent and a communist, can not be honest.
- and what is smart and honest, can not be a communist!!
spread this message so that when you go back to vote, it does not happen that someone loses the intelligence and honesty!!
WARNING! If you do not spread it within 5 minutes s'installerà a picture with Diliberto Fassino as your desktop wallpaper.
We can confirm the good news we have been waiting: Gianni Alemanno is our new Mayor! I'm happy and I am sure that my vote does not go to waste! Exult: Gianni W, W the PDL!

FRIENDS
The other night I invited a few friends at my house. In this photo are all there, but some. Fabrizio , caught with his eyes closed; Luke, with his usual smile teeth at 1250; Ale and the beautiful Among who are not spending the best time of their lives, but they do not weigh. And then Takai, Gigi, Lavinia, Savino, Francesco, Laura, Bea ... How important are friends in our lives? What would we do without them? Well, I'd be lost ... The wonderful thing is that with true friends do not need to say so many words, they'll understand the fly. Not you need to see them every day even after months will return to speak naturally, as if I had said goodbye the night before. Bring joy, make trouble, they send you to hell if you deserve it, but there are times when you need them. I do not need birthday gifts, seriously, if I have friends like that. I hope you my own luck!

A work of Fuksas. If you do not understand you voted the League, if you do not like you voted PDL!
the delirium of FUKSAS AD "ANNOZERO "
basito.Ho I saw last night I was a few pieces of "AnnoZero" and I listened with my ears some statements of the architect Massimiliano Fuksas (for the uninitiated former right-hand man in his youth, now a former supporter of the PRC) that left me dumbfounded. I hope you find something on YouTube because I'd like them suffer, so to see if it's me that I misunderstood. "What is lacking is the culture in Italy. Those of you who know who Euclid was and why was it important? How many know that the algebra has been imported into Europe in 1200? In order to vote you should know these things. Who can vote Bossi and Fini is a fool. "
These statements go along with that of D'Alema, 15 days before the election, he said - with its typical smell under her nose - that the people who vote on the right is ignorant, does not read books, do not buy newspapers, clings hours of television. He turned the world: once the Left received and sought the consent of the poor, the marginalized, the proletariat ignorant and for that to be protected. Now look with contempt the very people that the left has built and supported for decades. Then he says that one is thrown right ...
There is nothing to be done, the battle against rubbish is a cultural battle. " To say it in his office on the first floor of Town Hall, patrician residence dating Vanvitelli restored and preserved in art, is John Romano, vice-mayor. Welcome to Mercato San Severino , 25 thousand people scattered in 22 villages for a total of 31 square kilometers of territory. We are in the province of Salerno, 13 miles inland behind the town and just 50 kilometers from Naples. But here the echoes of the fight against the mounds of garbage coming to the first floor of the houses seem to tell a different world. "We are now more than 60% of waste collection. These figures are consolidated, we have won the Palm City riciclone, "says Romano. He is the deus ex machina of the victory over the garbage. I am 14 years studying the problem and invent ways to solve it. Sifting through state laws and regulations to implement them. First with two terms as mayor, now as a second chair of the City of Salerno. And the turning point, that record, he put himself in the foot, among the first in Italy. "In mid-2005 we abandoned the Tarsu, the tax on waste, and we replaced with Tia, the rate of environmental hygiene," he says. This translates, in other words, you mean for citizens, not a small thing. That is: recycle more, save more. The mechanism is simple: to dispose of waste, all citizens of the City Mercato San Severino have a fixed annual fee that is calculated on the area occupied by the family and the number of people in the family. Then there is a variable amount calculated on the "alleged" waste products from the same family. It is here that triggered the stroke of genius of John Romano, "We have set up a system that lets you know exactly how much waste each household produces. Those who recycle more wins a bonus in the form of discount on the variable rate. " The bill for the waste is four times a year, the last town-wide all "Discounts" sharpened the family is entitled. An example? Mrs. Filomena Acconcia, housewife, lives on the sixth floor of a building not far from town. "In the family we are five," he says. "I, my husband, my two sons and my dad. Share of variable costs about 90 € a year, but we do well differentiated and so the end of the year the city was affected us less than 40 € to 90. A big saving. " "The system," says the deputy mayor, "works with simple bar codes that people have to put on the bags of garbage sorting. We in the City, at the beginning of each year, we provide all materials: bags, bar codes, and calendars are marked as the day of collection. " Yes, Mercato San Severino because the garbage is collected door to door every day of the week. There are bins and even colored bells. All waste of any kind, scientifically separated, they are taken home before the gates of the 1,500 families and businesses by teams of environmental professionals who come into service at four in the morning and work until eleven o'clock each day sifting through all the the Municipality. So the good citizen "riciclone" takes home its colored containers to divide the waste (wet, paper and cardboard, plastic, aluminum and tin plate, dry, non-recyclable) and, on any particular day, it puts the bar code on its sack and place it outside the door. "So we in the City we can calculate the amount of waste that makes the family simply by multiplying the weight of waste that each bag can hold (which we have already calculated) for the times that the family gives us the sack." It is not enough. Everyone can check to what extent are its "discount" going in a section of the site of the City. But this mechanism as the coast to the municipal coffers? Romano says: "Do you think that since we have made under this system, we save almost 6% of the waste collection. And we work in more than 26 people who manage the curbside collection. " Twenty-six young employees of a company, Ge.se.ma. Spa che è al 51 % di proprietà del Comune e per il 49% di Italia Lavoro. Che si portano a casa uno stipendio medio di 1.400 euro al mese per sci giorni di lavoro alla settimana. «E risparmiamo anche se abbiamo dovuto organizzarci a portare l'umido addirittura in Sicilia con dei container, perché nella nostra regione non ci sono impianti di compostaggio. Con un costo a tonnellata che invece di 45 euro schizza fino a 145». Intanto in giro non si trova una cartaccia nemmeno a pagarla a peso d'oro. Girando a piedi per le vie del centro e setacciando le 22 frazioni in cui sono sparsi gli abitanti di Mercato San Severino, sembra un po' di essere nei cantoni della Svizzera. Tutto lindo, pulito e profumato. Così perfetto che questa "oasi" della Campania (region ruled by Antonio Bassolino, right on the garbage that has received a notice of guarantee) has also become a model for many communities in the North. "It seems incredible," says Giancarlo satisfied Troiano, chief executive officer of the City, "but we have come to study the system of separate collection even from the province of Cuneo. And the Lombardy Region has contacted us because we did the advisers. A great satisfaction, no? ".
Enrica Barazza (The Daily Telegraph - Magazine 17/04/2008)
After the Summit the Democratic Party, former minister Gentiloni Tizza synthetic analysis of the vote: "We have intercepted the consent of the North prevailed because it is a widespread feeling of resentment, especially towards the Government's measures, which were not understood." Where this is striking, and which, moreover, that what occurs with variant as a leitmotif in political commentary, is that those who "did not understand," I know-no more voters. Prodi did not understand, nor Veltroni, or, laments the Left Ar-rainbow, "we have interpreted as a made-fied." Errors 'interpretation', misunderstandings, misundertanding, defeat for the left stan­no tutti dalla parte degli elettori. Che, pare di comprendere, in certe valli e città del Nord – e anche del Sud – devono essere un po’ ottusi. O peggio. Le lettere su 'Repubblica', trasudano amarezza. «Accorgersi che l’ignoranza è il più letale dei mali, e che in Italia abbonda, e che l’I­talia ha trovato qualcosa di più divertente da fa­re che onorare i valori della Resistenza», geme una lettrice. «Mi aspettavo più coscienza. Credo che tutti abbiano votato chi prometteva più fur­berie, più scappatoie», scrive un’altra. Come a dire che la maggioranza degli italiani si è rivela­ta, il 13 April, ignorant, irresponsible, fascist and sly. The arrogance of being - culture and politics of the left - top, and by definition it forever. Against this, the poor re-awake in front of the victory of Berlusconi, and even e-explosion of the League. Unbelievable. In the newspapers the right, among the big names, if they had had no inkling. Indeed: Eugenio Scalfari, a great master of journalism democratic and fair, had announced his premonition: "With players of this level you can not lose. The voters are beginning to understand. I am ready to bet. " Meanwhile, voters were becoming convinced of the exact opposite. Major publications italiane da molto tempo so­no ispirate da un pensiero pressoché unico. È un fatto anche generazionale: buona parte degli uomini e delle donne che oggi dirigono questi giornali o ne firmano i commenti più autorevoli, si sono formati negli anni Settanta. Magari poi da quella cultura hanno preso le distanze, ma ne mantengono un imprinting indelebile: sini­stra è bello, democratico, giusto. Destra, è fasci­sta e ignorante. Cattolico poi è, ovviamente, o­scurantista – a meno che non sia cattolico 'de­mocratico' e progressista, meglio ancora se in conflitto con le gerarchie della Chiesa. Questo spiega lo sbalordimento collettivo dopo il referendum sulla legge 40. E a little 'to today, when it turns out that in some countries have taken the Venetian or Lombard 20, 30, an-that 40% of those' bumpkins' League. Which have always been considered - admits' Unity '-' merchants in the odor avoidance, bewildered villagers, terrified by globalization molecular capitalists. " But you must have enlarged, if they took 10% in Sesto San Giovanni, the former Stalingrad of Italy. And that, while watching them from the drawing rooms of the poor savages are correct, tut-ever must have reasons that were not included. Information line on its i-certainties ideology does not help to understand the reality. It serves rather to comfort, in a mirror-ferential author, the political class that is referenced. Which in turn wants to believe that the editorial Scalfari are thinking of the Italians. Monday night we came up with the national conference on family sponsored by the Prodi government in Florence a year ago. "Question time with the ap-plication of the families," was announced. But it was a rose, and asked the Premier what he wanted. Interventions and questions had been prepared beforehand-no. A polite discussion among friends. No one in open disagreement. Then, the Italian families have gone to the polls.
Il Paese non si riconosce nell’estremismo laicista!
With the advent of digital technology he's lost the habit, but the old-school photographers know that the image quality is assessed primarily on the negative: the game light and dark contrasts, the zones 'burned' because overexposed. It is also a criterion to sketch an analysis of these votes. Looking at the results of the sides to the light, points behind the first film screenings of the lighthouse for those Catholics are some of the values \u200b\u200b'not negotiable': defense of life from conception to natural death, enhancement of family and marriage, freedom of education. And so from early ballots first emerges the loser, who was penalized by the electorate: the Rainbow Left Socialists and above all. The first swept out by the evidence of the polls: the four parties, allies in the Union, had collected 10% in 2006 now oscillate dramatically between 3% and 3.3%, a mutilation that even lead to their exclusion from the Chamber as well as by the Senate. Scenario, if not worse, what it sets out for the Socialists of Enrico Boselli: here the fork of the projections is 0.8 and almost 1%. In any case it is a heavy fall from the already low 2.6% achieved in 2006 (they were allied with the radicals in the Rose in the Fist). In their campaign had come to bother Jesus, "as the first socialist." But even a miracle could save them from themselves. From campaign posters, the Ps Dripped indignation at the (alleged) interference of the Church in political life: a perception that the Italians do not obviously have no experience. Boselli (now resigned) repeated until exhaustion of the country that the first problem was to regain the primacy of secularism. And with this change la legge sulla fecondazione assistita, riconoscere le unioni di fatto, accelerare sul testamento biologico. Poi, già che si trovava, avrebbe voluto cancellare anche il concordato tra Stato e Chiesa. Gli elettori, però, hanno dimostrato d’avere altre priorità, di nutrire sentimenti diversi. E così i socialisti non siederanno più in Parlamento. Un addio, ci pare, senza rimpianti. Certo, sui dati delle forze minori ha pesato molto la polarizzazione del voto intorno a Pdl e Pd, ma come non osservare che la sconfitta della Sinistra l’Arcobaleno (anche Bertinotti si è dimesso) potrebbe essere pure figlia della sovraesposizione su certi temi eticamente sensibili, di determinate battaglie condotte con cieca caparbietà nella previous legislature. Beginning with the attempt to equate all the unions, to establish the theory of gender - instead of the 5 kinds of natural male and female - to deconstruct the family, considered one of the many social groups, or even mere 'cage', capable of only produce violence and abuse. It is also - perhaps above all - on this view of man that people have marked their distance from Bertinotti and his companions, as well as Boselli and friends. The deep feeling of the country - beyond the specific political differences - is another, grounded on solid anthropology, which has its corollary in natural law. The stock edged sharper in the new Parliament will be printed only in the coming days. But the claim of the moderate camp, the clot around the front of the Progressive Democratic Party - in which, along with more radical positions, there are certain Catholics - and the presence of the Union to the center even as the third deployment, to ensure the time greater peace of mind on the issues of bioethics. You probably will discuss what rights individuals have to ensure the living, how to avoid all forms of aggressive medical treatment or which may require adjustments to the rules on artificial insemination. But without making artificial priority now is banned from the more extremist blind. And that, today, it was not trivial.

Dear secularists,
