How Do You Fight On Poptropia?

One more reason to vote for the Right! The modesty of the constitutional court

Nothing gay in the party. The commissioner of the Lazio Region Teodoro Buontempo sure did not want to discriminate against anyone, but he wants to "preserve" the image of the hard right and pure. "Why join the gay party - told KlausCondicio - we would give a bad example to the collective imagination, a sharing of values \u200b\u200bthat we have in our DNA." During an interview with the program of study by Klaus Davi, Buontempo put stakes through the entries in the party. "Let's be clear - explains the regional minister - met this person e gli spiegherei perché sarebbe sbagliata una simile scelta e che un partito deve avere le sue colonne d’Ercole. Altrimenti non sarebbe un partito, ma un contenitore vuoto come tanti ce ne sono oggi". "Gli spiegherei che siamo contrarissimi ai matrimoni omosex e ancor di più alle adozioni, quindi gli direi che non sarebbe opportuno - continua Buontempo - inutile essere ipocrita per avere qualche voto in più. Detto questo, difenderei un gay e mi batterei perchè venga rispettato". Alla domanda di Klaus Davi: "E se scoprite che una persona già iscritta è gay?", l’esponente della Destra risponde: "In tutte le buone famiglie ci sono le pecore nere, ma non lo espelleremmo assolutamente, a patto che non cerchi di mettere programs of the party unions or gay adoptions. In that case would be incompatible. "

Trench Foot Discovery

The letter of yesterday (and that perhaps one day will come) ... and be happily


If you work in a library can happen to have in his hands a letter like this.
If you work in a library, you may have read, although a part of you feels guilty, as if he were browsing in the privacy of others.
But if you work in a library, you say that you do for work, and laws.

"For a week I was given the title of doctor , but I must say that I do not feel different from before [...] In fact, maybe now I'm a bit 'worried because they seem to be blocked the assumptions: I want to stay in the institution where I made the claim and will work willingly, but the idea of \u200b\u200bit scares me a little free '[...] I'm in these days as the habit of writing has been lost, must be the fault of the hectic life that we have to do and the postal service: in fact seem to those legendary times when a letter arrived after three days [...] Vicenza is a city that can not well appear in everyday life: the few times I was there I always had the ' impression that it was empty ... "

And when you finish it and throw our eyes to the date, you get a little shiver down my spine.

November 3, 1974

think that these same words could be written today. That the concerns of that time seem the same. What is it for you (including the postman).
But nearly four decades have passed, most of your life, and we're back to square one.
And you wonder when things will never change.

This letter was found between the pages of a book by Piero Nardi. To write is a niece, which I do not feel that much different.
Nardi was a teacher and literary critic Vicenza. A rethink his life, see his personal library full of books with autographs of friends and pen of letters, some 'hope you are. Read the dedications of Giorgio Bassani of Eugenio Montale of Sibilla , full of affection and gratitude, and smile.
But those were other times , as Nardi decided to entitle his autobiography. Times when the culture still mattered - and had universally, not just for you. Working in a library you do not know for how much, and do not want to remember how.

Hoping one day to write a letter other than this.
