SONDRIO: A BEAUTIFUL PLACE worth a sacrifice



I have the impression that the fate of cedar Piazza Campello is a little controversy is mounting a 'sickly, from which it is difficult to understand if the prevailing vague, instinctive, sentimental or a real civil contempt. I say this not for polemics but for myself, I live since I was born in Sondrio, I feel a certain affection for this plant, as I was, and are fond of many things: houses, alleys and courtyards of the Sondrio a time that now there are no more. Many changes have taken place and I do not remember that, even in cases of a certain level, there has been no actual uprising of the people. Not that either, but were different times, when it was decided, with so much ease, to demolish the church of Suffrage, which stood where now stands more or less our cedar. Yes, sorry to lose a plant, but can not be, its existence, the only yardstick. If, in the face of this waiver, it shall be planted a greater number of other trees in a proposed arrangement of the whole square, each causing scandal seems totally out of place if not, in some cases, pretextual. Sure, you can agree or not, and all positions are respectable, but I think that the destruction of the cedar should not be regarded, in itself, nor a crime it 'an insult to the sensibilities of anyone. I was limited to an evaluation of other types and that if the square after the restyling operation laid down 'Municipal Administration, will be aesthetically better or worse and if it is more or less enjoyed by the citizens than they are at present.

Why Does A Pap Smear Hurt So Bad?

WHY 'CALLED THE WAY CORRUPT POLITICIANS?


We learn with astonishment the news that the mayor of Milan, Letizia Moratti, intends to dedicate a street to Craxi. It 's a proposal simply scandalous. I do not think, in fact, that Italy, let alone Milan can boast of such a lead character. Even those less honest socialists believed in him. In light of the facts can not recognize the great merits politicians, than to have increased, for a time, his party, which had a much greater weight than the votes obtained. Availed himself of a good propaganda machine and became the protagonist of some choices that could appear to some, courageous, and capable of pouring out illusions with both hands, as the myth of "Milano da and authoritarian decisions. Unscrupulous in getting rid of all opponents, including the gentry as De Martino and Lombardi, at least, unlike her, had had some merit in the construction of democracy in Italy. I remember how, according to those same leaders of the PSI, he it is surrounded by "dwarfs and dancers, that is always obsequious courtiers and cheering, a little 'as is happening to a large extent, today, the People of Freedom party, precisely where many former" socialist "have converged. Close friend of Silvio Berlusconi, then a simple farmer, opened the series of "ad personam" laws "with a memorable decree in favor of the latter's television. His governments inflated government spending like no other before and, although he managed to knock down inflation with the edge of four points "sliding scale", led Italy to the brink of financial bankruptcy. But what most
counts to give a final assessment is that he stole and steal for themselves and for the party, legitimizing the use of bribes, that they rise beyond the cost of public works in that period of Italian history that he was a protagonist. And his thievery and corruption, certified by a number of final judgments, erasing any possible, though controversial, political merit.
And then, dear Moratti, to dedicate a street in Milan as it would legitimize the theft against the state and would be a devastating message. It would be like saying that stealing is a crime, at least for those in power, politicians and public administrators. Many of these already seem to have understood for some time, so much so They've started to steal, bribe and be bribed, just like the days of Bettino. Now that Craxi is dead let him rest in peace: this is the only lawful way, for those who want to remember.
