Needless to say, Italy is the land of paradox, in which virtual reality has now replaced the true reality. I apologize for the pun on words. The fact is that, reading newspapers and watching television, now Italy is gripped by the most heinous crime and overwhelmed by hordes of barbarian invasions. That there is fear around is obvious. I just wonder how much of this fear is real and what is not appropriate for political maneuvering. Already other occasion I tried to explain how fear is a phenomenon easily manipulated in order to exercise social and political control.
issues of law and order and immigration were some factors that did win big at the last election that the center-right has been able to exploit and nurture the fear of the Italians. Today we shall do what has been a promise and a kind of prophecy autoverificantesi. The fact is that the problems do not disappear, they remain, indeed increase as in the case of immigration, no one makes the accounts of hundreds of men, women and children disappeared in the waters of the Mediterranean, also victims of the racket of smugglers, while the present government has not able to make any decision on the issue regolamentarizzazione resurface and exactly what has been done by the previous government (with many other problems to come).
seems that the garbage has disappeared abruptly from Naples, was in effect for some time that there was no rubbish in Naples center, while the crime scene in the city makes great deployment of military troops. Apart from the fact that this irritates even policemen and policemen who suddenly appear insufficient and inefficient, and certainly do not need to be accompanied by supermen, it is not clear what they should do if the military does not blow smoke in the eyes of the people most enthusiastic uniforms or a cause of concern Democratic or give bad impression about our city.
But the mere appearance you live, how Brunetta, like the saints who have miraculous effects even when its decrees are not in application, and little change in substance (see issues of sick leave). The important thing is to go in the living rooms distributed in various media television networks play in the hyperspace of political communication. Little substance, the same is true of the Gelmini, current Minister of Education and Research, which proclaims teaching nonsense like claiming to "return to first as" the conduct or promotions. Because someone has ever said that behaviors were not assessed or not relevant to the assessment of pupils'. I mean what I say is that we talk about reality apparent in the choice of the political agenda and that no one looks at the problems from the right perspective. Pure communication effect. I am convinced that in a few weeks, the facts of crime will disappear just because the newscasts from Italy do not speak anymore, realizing thus the wishes of someone and giving substance to some other prophecy.
why struck me as recently stated by CENSIS, as appeared on Republic online. Italy is by far the European country where more people die at work, almost double that of France, 30% more than in Germany and Spain. You die more at work or on roads that are not killed by a gunshot or a stab . The victims at work are almost twice as many deaths in road accidents killed and eight times as many murders. The warning is the Censis study center for social investment. "However, most public attention focuses on the phenomena of crime "....
However, "most of the political in recent months has been absorbed by the objective of ensuring public safety, "said Giuseppe Roma, director general of Censis. " stands out in a clear manner - said Rome - the gap between real dangers and concrete actions to face them . The workplace and the street still lack effective safeguards to ensure full security of citizens, and often thought to lose his life in a road accident is inevitable. Data for other European countries show that it is not so. "
This says a lot about how today is perceived and represented reality in our country.

PS Just finished writing this blog I learned of the statements by the Defense Minister La Russa said that to go to the opening of the Games, but only if the Chinese government had done''an act of good will and had invited the Dalai Lama'' and the Minister of Youth (perhaps the Youth Front) that''it would boycott the inauguration of an important signal''to give (but that signal?). Unfortunately, you must agree with Bossi when he says that "if they went that far obviously want to take it off. It seems a bit 'hypocritical not go up there and then pull out. " Well said, and I would add that there is a good dose of chutzpah and great cynicism of two ministers who have some 'difficult to resolve. The first because it has contributed to cutting the funds for the army and the police, the latter still does not understand why we're doing to the government. Both while to appear (and therefore be) ready to shoot shit against sixty-ideological and more.
has been much discussion about beauty and ugliness of our ministers and ministers of little relevance and efficiency.
Frankly, I prefer to reserve my aesthetic judgments on other occasions, such as a show, a concert, an exhibition or participating in any particular event in which art is the protagonist, who, for me, much more valuable than media talk and ugliness.
