About Fora and Holes.

Two days ago, I was at home watching the painful panorama of the italian TV shows. As many times happens to me, while working on my computer, I was letting the Tv go on without paying any attention. At some point, Forum starts ( just for comparison, it is very similar to what in the US is known as Judge $NAME$). While the decision of the judge is waited the hosts, 3/4 of them, plus questions from the audience in the studio start a debate. For some unknown reason (i wasn't paying too much attention, as you can imagine) today's was on whether daycare for kids was supposed to be given to foreigner's children as well. The idea was that was passed and it is, indeed, generally accepted, is that first daycare has to be given to italian families and then to foreigners'. Why ? One of the reasons is that also other states do it (!!). This statement was also put forward in this show. Now let's break it down, because i really don't understand the logic of this. Without falling into extremely important moral issues, there is a misconception here.
We are Italians because we were born here. Fine. The question is the following: Is this something that we choose ? I mean, we were given a list of Countries where to choose from at the beginning and then, they made the wrong one and we did the right one (and given the situation in Italy i don't see that either). So what is the privilege ? That we were lucky of being born here ? Is it our fault of being born in Africa or Romania or Italy ? The only discriminant I see is that you need to have a regular permit to stay here and pay taxes for these services. That's it ! If there are Countries (and these are not Countries where I have been-USA-FRANCE-CANADA for instance, since these are taken as examples, but not for this of course) were this principle is not considered is their fault not Italy's. This is a matter of being civilized and understanding everybody's rights! To me, it is just astonishing that such a principle can pass on TV without any filter!

Sergio, mi raccomando !!!
Tu che puoi, vai in piazza Navona stasera.

(dimentica per una volta che hai la tessera del PD).

O ancora meglio, vai in piazza e sventola la tessera, cosi' da far capire alla signora Finocchiaro che l'instituzione della presidenza della repubblica non e' dogmaticamente infallibile, e se firma leggi vergogna i cittadini hanno il diritto di incazzarsi!!

Ho letto gli interventi di finocchiaro, tonini e veltroni su La Stampa: sconsolanti.

scusa per l'off-topic, ma leggere da qui le notizie sull'Italia e' veramente deprimente.

tranquillo, vado a P.za Navona stasera... altro che PD !
Putroppo alcuni, per mero calcolo, non capiscono quanto sia importante. Tonini dovrebbe essere alla manifestazione.
Domani faro' un resoconto..ecco perche' non vedi un post oggi :D
