Oh Jesus!

Pardon the expletive but I am amazed in front of the outcome of the tests I've done, precisely the test politometro.

A test that evaluates the political orientation of a subject through 15 multiple choice questions.

You can test by simply clicking here (sponsored by Repubblica.it).


Here's what I came out:

Of course, it should be noted that the test is based on questions (or statements) strong (in my opinion) which can easily respond with excesses (categorical categorical yes or no), and therefore fails to give an accurate assessment ... but it's a play fun.

How would Caesar Cesaroni ... "that bitterness!"

As you can imagine not vote in elections for a political party, a preference card that, in theory, should govern for the next legislature and decide the fate of our country?

"Voting is a right and above all a duty of every citizen of this nation"

This is what I always thought, and that until a few weeks ago I would have argued strenuously with firm conviction of being right reasoning.

But now I'm lost, completely lost.

Not only do I identify with a political vying for the top spot of the podium, which would already be a fact of success, but there is not a single person among the candidates or parties which do not try what some form of disgust / repulsion.

I've always been opposed to the extreme, then consider the idea of ​​giving a preference to the outer sides is out of my range. Therefore eliminate the extreme right, the group Storanchè (Storace-Santanchè), and the mixture called Rainbow multicolor I think.

The reasons:

Storanchè ... lack of competence and seriousness and do not want to bring up descriptions of the characters.

Bertinotti and his party are anachronistic to me, without the '60s and economic solutions that encourage higher wage than the minimum threshold of € 1,100 per month. Move somewhat idiot because would result in reduction of staff empirically by the companies for being subject to a minimum roof or, if this increase was supported by the State, would produce an increase in government spending by pushing up inflation and then to record a wage increase only nominal and not real (loss of purchasing power).

The Greens, the brake of economic development of a country. Where are they can not build anything even when the collective good exceeds their mania to save puppies, plants and stones. "Supporting good ideals is right, hang on to ideals is stupid silly"

The "big" center Casini pick up the pieces here and there and does not present a practical if not at the point view of energy in favor of nuclear power. However establish an election on a point-to long-term (10 years at least) is how much less utopian. Right idea, wrong time, the tools and the inability to involve other political forces on the big energy problem of this period.

Democratic Party, the Democratic Party, the party with a momentum formidable ... just against everything, a real significant trend, lost very soon including the good old Di Pietro and the Radicals. New bunch? It makes no sense ... a party of "denistra" (left-right) that does not quite understand yet if you want to position themselves to the left or right. Well maybe this one, so you do not live more than historical legacies related to the historical concept of Right and Left in Italy.

Why do not rush yourself while keeping your own schedule without having no compromise with other parties? It would have been decided about the right ...

PDL, the People of Freedom. Nominate a man already premier candidate for the fifth time? A man who was defeated by the last election? But what's the point? Where the spirit of innovation that would have to ride the new offspring of politics?
I did not want to reiterate the various speeches anti-Berlusconi who have linked many people to make trinofare (a few votes) coalition (Olive) who willingly or unwillingly gave birth (or continuity depends on your point of view) to a phenomenon of constant and inexorable confidence of the electorate in the political world.

What should I vote? How can I vote this people?
Regardless of what will be my choice, we will not have a strong power to govern, but again a mediation favors factional and sectarian.
Regardless of what will be my choice, I know that I will remain disappointed.

The vote is not wrong, but the vote each of these alternatives seems to me even more wrong.

I just feel lost.

Bitterness that ...!

I write on the occasion of something that happened a few hours ago.

Carryover from Corriere.it:

As it emerged, the young fan was joined by a gunshot in the service area of ​​Badia al Pino, where they clashed Lazio ultras, to Milan, and Juventus travel to Parma.

The games, to having to report, this Sunday are Inter-Lazio-Juventus and Parma ... now please explain why a group of Lazio fans (in this case) should attack two Juventus fans.

Also from Corriere.it:

According to early investigations conducted by investigators at the gas station of Badia al Pino, it is possible that shooting may have been an agent of the Traffic Police, which had intervened on the recommendation to quell the riot among the fans biancocelesti and Juventus.

Now in the last few hours it was learned that the game was suspended in Milan, which the fans in Bergamo Atalanta and AC Milan's son loading the coalition forces. In Milan, Inter and Lazio supporters have railed with choirs (referring to the old question Raciti) against the police ... and similar scenes a little 'at all stages of Italy.

This is the ignorance of the fans. You do not go to the stadium to see a game, but you go for a fight, a fight for, to shout insults at players or opposing fans. The sportsmanship fades into the background, even in the last floor, leaving room for anything that should not even be close to football fights, insults, choirs, banners, weapons, drugs, etc ...

Security measures in huge stadiums, with the seizure of bars, bombs cards, knives and all kinds of weapon ... but this is madness. How can you go to see a game with a crowbar? What do you need? Why waste time in making stupid fan racist or a banner praising concepts of the extreme right (or left-wing against the police) without knowing a minimum of history? Why spend the game shouting, swearing, seek confrontations with those around you for no reason?

Because your time is not played.
Because your families can not go to the stadium.
Because your captain accidents.
Someone is dead because of you.

The formula is safe, or at least there should be: real measures against these attitudes of violence. Go to the stadium and do stupid things (violence, etc.)? Here, made a few years in jail, for real, no discounts of any kind of penis.

Fan stupid, ignorant, did you stew, leave our football.

The many (I hope) or a few (I fear) that follow the newspapers and the news these days can not fail to have heard of the great and terrible events that are involving Myanmar, Burma.

"The military junta that oppresses for 45 years in Burma (renamed Myanmar by the regime precisely) these days try to stop the protest marches led by Buddhist monks in the only way he knows: the iron fist. But it does not. "
[Source: BBC]

Summary: a military regime, against a repressive anti-war movement (Buddhist monks) who protest against the oppression within the country. Five victims among religious, siege on the most famous monasteries in the area, with attached tear gas, charges and arrests excellent (including Zaganar, one of the most famous local actors, and Wing Nain, well-known activist for civil rights).

And what does the rest of the world exporter of democracy? I speak of course of USA and EU who have labored long and bloody against the dictatorial regime of Saddam in Iraq and Afghanistan against the danger area, where the hideout of Bin Laden and his terrorist militias.

What they do, indeed, what do we do? Sanctions.
There are already sanctions pending on this region, financial penalties against the country, which do nothing but aggravate the already serious situation of a poor country.

In Iraq, there has posed the question to do or not to go to war, we asked ourselves the question is:
"We make war saying to export democracy or we go to war for the interests of black gold?"

In principle I am against the war, but I spontaneously ask why in some countries, you do so easily "war" when others with similar social situations, you decide to ignore the problem or use sanctions " soft. "

The answer is known, it is obvious, know it all, sometimes we admit the chorus, but we do nothing to try to understand why you are using so much hypocrisy with this impudence!

Iraq, oil, business, dollars, wealth, interests.
Burma, peaceful monks, buddhism, poverty, no interest.

I see it very simple, perhaps too much. Surely I omit many, many factors, however I am sure that the structure and the reasons underlying these decisions are easily represented by the above-mentioned scheme.

I do not mention the wars in Africa that our newspapers / news even give hints or spaces in print. But the pattern is the same: no interest, no real interventions. And we talk about democracy in the world? Civil Rights? We can not even protect our right to the truth ... how can we expect to perform acts so "big" and "heroic" as the export justice, democracy and peace?

I'll never understand ...

Traveling on the site of Beppe Grillo and I found the link to the personal blog of Mastella ...

So I decided to make a walk, and finally to leave a comment, which is in the approval process (we'll see what will, I will update you on the outcome).

My choice is due to the fact that I was lying on the bed looking at, maybe my first time completely, broadcast on RAI-3 - Ballarò. The topics were many and glowing and I felt a strong need to write to someone ... more than anything else, I think, as a form of relief.

I make it available then the comment / letter sent to the Minister Mastella (in PDF format):
