Rules For Game Of Frustration

Time Radiography

Tempo di elezioni nel Belpaese. Si dice spesso che per vincere un elezione è fondamentale sfondare al centro perché, come insegna il median voter theorem, the result of an election by a majority will always coincide with the median voter.
Who is the median voter? It would take a sociological survey to answer this question, but I try to do a humble layman. We can say today that the median voter has not yet decided who to vote for and probably has not yet decided whether to go to vote. Probably is a senior, is tied to traditional values \u200b\u200band is a victim of inflation. No coincidence that the issues dear to pensioners become battleground in the election campaign and the candidates vying to them sound promising.
These days are busy calling the homes of my fellow countrymen to better whether the message Veltroni has passed, and to inform them that in the coming days will be in our region to keep its meetings. It 's a waste of time? It 's an operation that could have a disastrous effect boomerang? I think not. The history of Italy bipolarity has shown that mobilize these people, involve them in political debate, it is essential to be able to win the election. Why? With a simple message and direct you can gain the median voter. Berlusconi has a militant and well-established consensus but manages to awaken his potential voters on one side showing a good father and the other as a fierce opponent of the Communists elusive. Veltroni knows how to hit the heart of these people and is certainly more popular than it was Prodi, regardless of the fact that its program is included or not. Paradoxically, to decide are the undecided and a few phone calls at home received directly "by the secretariat of Veltroni " may have the effect of convincing to put a cross on the symbol of the Democratic Party on April 13, those who choose to vote according to their desire to take a walk. Meanwhile
you think about how to put permanently in the attic Berlusconi were held in these days of the aggregator Kilombo elections. Excellent result for Elfobruno that gets more than 50% of the vote, a socialist and anticlerical, but not bad also the result of the Pieroni on popular positions, which gets the confirmation by 24 votes, more than it received in previous elections. This suggests that the median voter Kilombo is quite different from that of our country, in fact the average age is considerably lower (a few are retired) and also the cultural level is probably higher because those who already dedicates part of his free time to write is certainly not an average Italian. One might say then that is definitely better Kilombo 's Italy and able to express a better view of the company (thus it is also his opinion), but then we should question the validity and l'adeguatezza della democrazia. Con ciò voglio dire: é il popolo a doversi scegliere il suo futuro, in tutti i suoi elementi, o sono le cosidette avanguardie (come le definì Lenin) a dover assumere un ruolo guida? In realtà nell' affermazione di Lenin non vi è nulla di innovativo perché sta alla base di una visione aristocratica della società. Aristocrazia o democrazia? Un dilemma insoluto ereditato da Aristotele.
Al di là dei ragionevoli dubbi, Kilombo non è sicuramente un avanguardia in quanto incapace, non solo di avere un ruolo guida nella società (già solo a dirlo mi scappa da ridere), ma anche di organizzarsi in un sistema partecipativo che riesca a coinvolgere tutti i suoi elementi. Su more than 500 members only 100-odd who voted on this point that I would work more on other things because there's nothing more left to be directly involved in politics all their social basis and become involved in building something.

cynicism is the art of seeing things as they are,
not as they should be.

My practicality consists in this:
to know that to beat my head against the wall
is to break your head and not the wall

Milena Velba And Nadine Pool

elections of candidates by age and gender

Some giorno fa su Il Sole 24ore è stata fatta un'analisi dei candidati sui criteri di età e di genere, riporto i dati solo di quelle forze che riusciranno probabilmente ad avere rappresentanti in Parlamento.
A sinistra è più alta la percentuale di donne candidate. Per il Pd vi è un 58,1% di uomini candidati e 41,9 di donne; mentre per la Sinistra l'Arcobaleno il dato è ancora più importante con un 53,5 di uomini e 46,5 di donne candidate. I dati sono ancora incoraggianti se si analizza il dato per classi di età: la percentuale di donne candidate nella fascia di età compresa tra i 25 e 39 anni va oltre il 50% nel Pd, dato importante in chiave futura, per la formazione di classi dirigenti che sembrano proiettate verso una maggiore parità di genere(non vorrei che si arrivasse al punto di dover introdurre quote uomini). Simile questo dato anche per la Sinistra l'Arcobaleno. In difficoltà le donne nella conquista della riconferma, visto che il Pd la concede al 20,8% delle deputate uscenti e la Sinistra l'Arcobaleno al 23,9.
Nel Pdl invece la percentuale di uomini candidati è del 76,8% contro il 23,2% di donne candidate. Nell' Udc anche peggio: 82,7% di uomini candidati e un misero 17,3% di donne. Nelle classi più giovani anche il Pdl vede una maggiore percentuale di donne candidate mentre i dati rimangono simili nei candidati Udc.
In assoluto il dato peggiore in questa statistica è raggiunto from the lists of Forza Nuova with 13.1% of women candidates.
If you calculate the average age of the candidates, the lowest average for the House candidates registering for the Sinistra Critica list with an average age of 33.17 years, while the highest average winning the Socialist Party with average age of 49.09 years. Among the larger forces to the lowest average shall register with the Rainbow Left 44.58 years, followed by the Democratic Party with 45.03, then 48.19 and then the UDC with the PDL with 48.7. More or less similar data for candidates senators but obviously increases the average age as the minimum age for candidates for the Senate is 40 years. Decrease the percentage of candidates donna a Palazzo Madama.

Ps: a defeat from the ancient origins

Io credo che sia difficile avere un partito socialista forte in Italia dopo Craxi , responsabile storico di un sistema corrotto. L'Italia inoltre è un paese diverso dagli altri europei per la presenza del Vaticano che ha sempre avuto un ruolo molto forte nella società italiana. L'unica alternativa nell'Italia repubblicana è sempre stato il Pci che aveva poco da spartire col laicismo e la coscienza liberale del socialismo europeo. All'elezioni per l'Assemblea Costituente il Partito d'Azione, che ebbe un ruolo militare durante la Resistenza con le Brigate Giustizia e Libertà e anche solide basi teoriche nella dottrina Liberal brothers Rosselli, just won a resounding defeat for the benefit of the Popular Front (PSI- PCI) and Dc . Perhaps the absence of a European-style socialist party in Italy is due to its historical errors made in the past or actual impossibility, so that, as he sang Giorgio Gaber , "someone was a communist because Italy has the worst Socialist Party of Europe, "and so was the paradox that" someone was a communist because he was an atheist so he needed another church. " Even
Garibaldi, driven by the masses, he succeeded to bring down the institutions of the Vatican. I think a response to Vatican interference can occur with an organized political force that involves Catholics in a debate that will enable them to face different realities and the public life of alternatives to the Vatican authorities, is no coincidence that the first reaction to the birth of the United was not expedit of Leo XIII.

Male Genital Exam Movie

state at the North, the South

The center struggles to get public support for Alitalia and Malpensa and then to then for the thousands of Northern workers employed therein. When we talk about issues instead of the South always invite us to open ourselves to the market, to promote investment in our country, to deregulation (to allow capital to invest north of course).
But if we think about ourselves? What's happening? Example may be the choice of Soru in Sardinia with the so-called luxury tax, fought by the North who did not want to pay a fee to those Pecorari of Sardinia. "Investing in infrastructure, create services" is not right to charge a fee by making discrimination between Sardinia and Sardinian "he said. And we "yes, but this tax is just to implement those funds necessary for investment." And the Constitutional Court rejected the law by endorsing a colonial logic. Meanwhile
Sardinia, after 150 years of unity, still does not have a highway and a rail service that guarantees to move easily within the island and if we were not able to get rid of that dead weight of Alitalia travel on the continent would still be too expensive (think that is still cheaper to travel by the Sardinian airports to European capitals than to the rest of Italy). The Trenitalia privatized while postponing the suppression of trafficking Golfo Aranci - Civitavecchia , vital for the development of the island and some of its holdings (Keller), decided on 1 April but postponed to June 30, probably for electoral reasons. The door is not useful.
And Padania ask aid. The Sardinians are few and bring a few votes.

I Was Grope In The Train Enjoyed

Stop liberal globalization

few days ago, Berlusconi spoke of the need to safeguard Alitalia yesterday and Giulio Tremonti, Minister of 'Economics of his government, and then big shot among his economic advisers, called the globalization of alleged madness enlightened minds.
Two Italian liberal right-wingers criticize the effects of globalization, as a result of the crisis across the world free-market fundamentalist ideology. In the U.S., home of this ideology, the Republican and Democratic candidates resume to speak of the need to strengthen the welfare state. Recently I read
Shock Economy - Capitalism disasters: a historical analysis and documentation of all events that have marked the rise of this ideology. Born in the University Chicago in the '50s has now found its leader and icon in his work with Milton Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom . The free-market fundamentalists have spread throughout the world the conviction that a market left to itself to reach the full allocation of resources and spread the wealth around the world. Free market as the realization of democracy in the economic field. Cardinal principles of this doctrine are opening up to foreign capital and the steady reduction of government spending and the welfare state in clear opposition to the Keynesian economic theory in the postwar triumph.
The author, Naomi Klein, tells how these theories have found their first practical application Pinochet's Chile in the seventies and were imposed with harsh repression and the loss of democratic freedoms. Then also in Argentina and Bolivia in the free market fundamentalism has found a place but was always thwarted by the people and imposed by force. Then in the eighties had space at home with Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in Britain. Since then, the liberal virus has spread worldwide through the work of international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank who are bent to the new doctrine. Each political crisis in the world has been exploited to facilitate the entry of foreign capital in weak economies and social systems. Poland, Russia, South Africa, local resources in China have become a source of enrichment especially for foreign entrepreneurs apart from the case of Russia where a huge industrial heritage created with public funds has become private property of a small elite. In this ascent the peak was reached in Iraq where essential services (water, gas, postal services, construction) have been entirely run by private Western companies often imported staff. In all these countries the wealth generated has filled the pockets of multinationals and has not had the merit of contributing to the economic welfare of the population. Even in Europe you have chosen this road widening jumping to the new union simply to facilitate the movement of capital and allow companies from industrialized countries to invest in countries with low labor costs.
Today's nefarious effects of this policy are felt with a progressive impoverishment of the weaker sections of society worldwide. Soros and Stiglitz Economise as critical of the line of the international financial institutions and push for the creation of a system of local development in poor countries open their markets before the rest of the world, just as they did in Italy without its non-protectionist barriers could never develop an industrial system that can compete with the rest of Europe. In the Western world increases the thrust of migration of poor people in the world and undermines the welfare state in name of a competitiveness with emerging markets where union protection is minimal. Also right around the world call into question the effectiveness of a globalization that is the claim of a corporate system in support of international capital, in Italy a growing movement calling for a return to public management of water, in the U.S. asks for public intervention to resolve the emergency and express admiration for the British National Health System in our country. It 'requires a new international policy which preserves the rights acquired in the industrialized world and enable countries in the developing world to grow especially in terms of general well-being and not just lordoe domestic product to international competitiveness. The people of Genoa
mistreated and humiliated he was right, another world is not only possible but also necessary.

Ap Bio Lab Fruit Flies

God is power

The Vatican hierarchy are very active during this election campaign and seem to have as main goal to deliver the Catholic vote the Democratic Party and break the path towards a critical awareness of the community of the faithful.
The Holy See has always had a natural talent for the authoritarian and conservative political forces. He supported the Fascist regime in Republican and has always pushed for alliances with the Christian Democratic parties of the right rather than yield to progress delle forze progressiste. Per tener fede a questa tradizione, in questo primo scorcio di campagna elettorale Dino Boffo, il direttore di Avvenire , sostiene la necessità dell'esistenza di una forza politica di tradizione cristiana, poi scatena una dura reprimenda nei confronti di Veltroni che candida Umberto Veronesi e apre le porte ai radicali. Arrivano anche le accuse di Famiglia Cristiana secondo cui "questo Pd è un pasticcio veltroniano in salsa pannelliana" e sempre Boffo invita Ferrara a desistere "nella sua lodevole iniziativa che rischia di sottrare voti a liste storicamente già affermate, dove la presenza dei cattolici è collaudata". Da non dimenticare poi l'intervento a gamba tesa di qualche settimana fa Ratzinger who denounced the "degradation faced by the city of Rome."
This time it seems to me undeniable that there is a clear political strategy, a clear interference of a power group, supported by public funds in Republican politics. An institution with an authoritarian order seeks to exercise power in a 'democratic order and other institution seems to have made a clear choice to those political forces that support authoritarian solutions, and compulsive control of the masses.
The Vatican is alarmed by the choice that today's political system is forcing the voters, and therefore also to the Catholics, between two candidates who seem to have no intention of taking orders from Oltretevere. On April 13, could mark the beginning of a new era in the relationship between the State and the Church and of a period of irrelevance to Catholicism. He almost misses the Communist Party.
We are the priests of power. God is power.
Up to this moment for you power is only a word
but it is good that now makes you a better idea
what it really is.
(...) The power is power over human beings:
on the body, but also on the mind.
