font-family:courier new;"&gt;«I partiti non fanno più politica», dice Enrico Berlinguer.&lt;br /&gt;«I partiti hanno degenerato e questa è l'origine dei malanni d'Italia».&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;La passione è finita? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per noi comunisti la passione non è finita. Ma per gli altri? Non voglio dar giudizi e mettere il piede in casa altrui, ma i fatti ci sono e sono sotto gli occhi di tutti. I partiti di oggi sono soprattutto macchine di potere e di clientela: scarsa o mistificata conoscenza della vita e dei problemi della società e della gente, idee, ideali, programmi pochi o vaghi, sentimenti e passione civile, zero. Gestiscono interessi, i più disparati, i più contraddittori, talvolta anche loschi, comunque senza alcun rapporto con le esigenze e i bisogni umani emergenti, oppure distorcendoli, senza perseguire il bene comune. La loro stessa struttura organizzativa si è ormai conformata su questo modello, e non sono più organizzatori del popolo, formazioni che ne promuovono la maturazione civile e l'iniziativa: sono piuttosto federazioni di correnti, di camarille, ciascuna con un "boss" e dei "sotto-boss". La carta geopolitica dei partiti è fatta di nomi e di luoghi. Per la DC: Bisaglia in Veneto, Gava in Campania, Lattanzio in Puglia, Andreotti nel Lazio, De Mita ad Avellino, Gaspari in Abruzzo, Forlani nelle Marche e così via. Ma per i socialisti, più o meno, è lo stesso e per i socialdemocratici peggio ancora...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lei mi ha detto poco fa che la degenerazione dei partiti è il punto essenziale della crisi italiana. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;È quello che io penso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Per quale motivo? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I partiti hanno occupato lo Stato e tutte le sue istituzioni, a partire dal governo. Hanno occupato gli enti locali, gli enti di previdenza, le banche, le aziende pubbliche, gli istituti culturali, gli ospedali, le università, la Rai TV, alcuni grandi giornali. Per esempio, oggi c'è il pericolo che il maggior quotidiano italiano, il Corriere della Sera, cada in mano di questo o quel partito o di una sua corrente, ma noi impediremo che un grande organo di stampa come il Corriere faccia una così brutta fine. Insomma, tutto è già lottizzato e spartito o si vorrebbe lottizzare e spartire. E il risultato è drammatico. Tutte le "operazioni" che le diverse istituzioni e i loro attuali dirigenti sono chiamati a compiere vengono viste prevalentemente in funzione dell'interesse del partito o della corrente o del clan cui si deve la carica. Un credito bancario viene concesso se è utile a questo fine, se procura vantaggi e rapporti di clientela; un'autorizzazione amministrativa viene data, un appalto viene aggiudicato, una cattedra viene assegnata, un'attrezzatura di laboratorio viene finanziata, se i beneficiari fanno atto di fedeltà al partito che procura quei vantaggi, anche quando si tratta soltanto di riconoscimenti dovuti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lei fa un quadro della realtà italiana da far accapponare la pelle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E secondo lei non corrisponde alla situazione?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Debbo riconoscere, signor Segretario, che in gran parte è un quadro realistico. Ma vorrei chiederle: se gli italiani sopportano questo stato di cose è segno che lo accettano o che non se ne accorgono. Altrimenti voi avreste conquistato la guida del paese da un pezzo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La domanda è complessa. Mi consentirà di risponderle ordinatamente. Anzitutto: molti italiani, secondo me, si accorgono benissimo del mercimonio che si fa dello Stato, delle sopraffazioni, dei favoritismi, delle discriminazioni. Ma gran parte di loro è sotto ricatto. Hanno ricevuto vantaggi (magari dovuti, ma ottenuti solo attraverso i canali dei partiti e delle loro correnti) o sperano di riceverne, o temono di non riceverne più. Vuole una conferma di quanto dico? Confronti il voto che gli italiani hanno dato in occasione dei referendum e quello delle normali elezioni politiche e amministrative. Il voto ai referendum non comporta favori, non coinvolge rapporti clientelari, non mette in gioco e non mobilita candidati e interessi privati o di un gruppo o di parte. È un voto assolutamente libero da questo genere di condizionamenti. Ebbene, sia nel '74 per il divorzio, sia, ancor di più, nell'81 per l'aborto, gli italiani hanno fornito l'immagine di un paese liberissimo e moderno, hanno dato un voto di progresso. Al nord come al sud, nelle città come nelle campagne, nei quartieri borghesi come in quelli operai e proletari. Nelle elezioni politiche e amministrative il quadro cambia, anche a distanza di poche settimane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Veniamo all'altra mia domanda, se permette, signor Segretario: dovreste aver vinto da un pezzo, se le cose stanno come lei descrive. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In un certo senso, al contrario, può apparire persino straordinario che un partito come il nostro, che va così decisamente contro l'andazzo corrente, conservi tanti consensi e persino li accresca. Ma io credo di sapere a che cosa lei pensa: poiché noi dichiariamo di essere un partito "diverso" dagli altri, lei pensa che gli italiani abbiano timore di questa diversità.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sì, è così, penso proprio a questa vostra conclamata diversità. A volte ne parlate come se foste dei marziani, oppure dei missionari in terra d'infedeli: e la gente diffida. Vuole spiegarmi con chiarezza in che consiste la vostra diversità? C'è da averne paura? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qualcuno, sì, ha ragione di temerne, e lei capisce subito chi intendo. Per una risposta chiara alla sua domanda, elencherò per punti molto semplici in che consiste il nostro essere diversi, così spero non ci sarà più margine all'equivoco. Dunque: primo, noi vogliamo che i partiti cessino di occupare lo Stato. I partiti debbono, come dice la nostra Costituzione, concorrere alla formazione della volontà politica della nazione; e ciò possono farlo non occupando pezzi sempre più larghi di Stato, sempre più numerosi centri di potere in ogni campo, ma interpretando le grandi correnti di opinione, organizzando le aspirazioni del popolo, controllando democraticamente l'operato delle istituzioni. Ecco la prima ragione della nostra diversità. Le sembra che debba incutere tanta paura agli italiani?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Veniamo alla seconda diversità. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noi pensiamo che il privilegio vada combattuto e distrutto ovunque si annidi, che i poveri e gli emarginati, gli svantaggiati, vadano difesi, e gli vada data voce e possibilità concreta di contare nelle decisioni e di cambiare le proprie condizioni, che certi bisogni sociali e umani oggi ignorati vadano soddisfatti con priorità rispetto ad altri, che la professionalità e il merito vadano premiati, che la partecipazione di ogni cittadino e di ogni cittadina alla cosa pubblica debba essere assicurata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Onorevole Berlinguer, queste cose le dicono tutti. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Già, ma nessuno dei partiti governativi le fa. Noi comunisti abbiamo sessant'anni di storia alle spalle e abbiamo dimostrato di perseguirle e di farle sul serio. In galera con gli operai ci siamo stati noi; sui monti con i partigiani ci siamo stati noi; nelle borgate con i disoccupati ci siamo stati noi; con le donne, con il proletariato emarginato, con i giovani ci siamo stati noi; alla direzione di certi comuni, di certe regioni, amministrate con onestà, ci siamo stati noi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Non voi soltanto. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;È vero, ma noi soprattutto. E passiamo al terzo punto di diversità. Noi pensiamo che il tipo di sviluppo economico e sociale capitalistico sia causa di gravi distorsioni, di immensi costi e disparità sociali, di enormi sprechi di ricchezza. Non vogliamo seguire i modelli di socialismo che si sono finora realizzati, rifiutiamo una rigida e centralizzata pianificazione dell'economia, pensiamo che il mercato possa mantenere una funzione essenziale, che l'iniziativa individuale sia insostituibile, che l'impresa privata abbia un suo spazio e conservi un suo ruolo importante. Ma siamo convinti che tutte queste realtà, dentro le forme capitalistiche -e soprattutto, oggi, sotto la cappa di piombo del sistema imperniato sulla DC- non funzionano più, e che quindi si possa e si debba discutere in qual modo superare il capitalismo inteso come meccanismo, come sistema, giacché esso, oggi, sta creando masse crescenti di disoccupati, di emarginati, di sfruttati. Sta qui, al fondo, la causa non solo dell'attuale crisi economica, ma di fenomeni di barbarie, del diffondersi della droga, del rifiuto del lavoro, della sfiducia, della noia, della disperazione. È un delitto avere queste idee?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Non trovo grandi differenze rispetto a quanto può pensare un convinto socialdemocratico europeo. Però a lei sembra un'offesa essere paragonato ad un socialdemocratico. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bè, una differenza sostanziale esiste. La socialdemocrazia (parlo di quella seria, s'intende) si è sempre molto preoccupata degli operai, dei lavoratori sindacalmente organizzati e poco o nulla degli emarginati, dei sottoproletari, delle donne. Infatti, ora che si sono esauriti gli antichi margini di uno sviluppo capitalistico che consentivano una politica socialdemocratica, ora che i problemi che io prima ricordavo sono scoppiati in tutto l'occidente capitalistico, vi sono segni di crisi anche nella socialdemocrazia tedesca e nel laburismo inglese, proprio perché i partiti socialdemocratici si trovano di fronte a realtà per essi finora ignote o da essi ignorate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Dunque, siete un partito socialista serio... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...nel senso che vogliamo costruire sul serio il socialismo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Le dispiace, la preoccupa che il PSI lanci segnali verso strati borghesi della società? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, non mi preoccupa. Ceti medi, borghesia produttiva sono strati importanti del paese e i loro interessi politici ed economici, quando sono legittimi, devono essere adeguatamente difesi e rappresentati. Anche noi lo facciamo. Se questi gruppi sociali trasferiscono una parte dei loro voti verso i partiti laici e verso il PSI, abbandonando la tradizionale tutela democristiana, non c'è che da esserne soddisfatti: ma a una condizione. La condizione è che, con questi nuovi voti, il PSI e i partiti laici dimostrino di saper fare una politica e di attuare un programma che davvero siano di effettivo e profondo mutamento rispetto al passato e rispetto al presente. Se invece si trattasse di un semplice trasferimento di clientele per consolidare, sotto nuove etichette, i vecchi e attuali rapporti tra partiti e Stato, partiti e governo, partiti e società, con i deleteri modi di governare e di amministrare che ne conseguono, allora non vedo di che cosa dovremmo dirci soddisfatti noi e il paese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Secondo lei, quel mutamento di metodi e di politica c'è o no? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Francamente, no. Lei forse lo vede? La gente se ne accorge? Vada in giro per la Sicilia, ad esempio: vedrà che in gran parte c'è stato un trasferimento di clientele. Non voglio affermare che sempre e dovunque sia così. Ma affermo che socialisti e socialdemocratici non hanno finora dato alcun segno di voler iniziare quella riforma del rapporto tra partiti e istituzioni -che poi non è altro che un corretto ripristino del dettato costituzionale- senza la quale non può cominciare alcun rinnovamento e sanza la quale la questione morale resterà del tutto insoluta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Lei ha detto varie volte che la questione morale oggi è al centro della questione italiana. Perché? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La questione morale non si esaurisce nel fatto che, essendoci dei ladri, dei corrotti, dei concussori in alte sfere della politica e dell'amministrazione, bisogna scovarli, bisogna denunciarli e bisogna metterli in galera. La questione morale, nell'Italia d'oggi, fa tutt'uno con l'occupazione dello stato da parte dei partiti governativi e delle loro correnti, fa tutt'uno con la guerra per bande, fa tutt'uno con la concezione della politica e con i metodi di governo di costoro, che vanno semmplicemente abbandonati e superati. Ecco perché dico che la questione morale è il centro del problema italiano. Ecco perché gli altri partiti possono profare d'essere forze di serio rinnovamento soltanto se aggrediscono in pieno la questione morale andando alle sue cause politiche. [...] Quel che deve interessare veramente è la sorte del paese. Se si continua in questo modo, in Italia la democrazia rischia di restringersi, non di allargarsi e svilupparsi; rischia di soffocare in una palude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Signor Segretario, in tutto il mondo occidentale si è d'accordo sul fatto che il nemico principale da battere in questo momento sia l'inflazione, e difatti le politiche economiche di tutti i paesi industrializzati puntano a realizzare quell'obiettivo. È anche lei del medesimo parere? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Risponderò nello stesso modo di Mitterand: il principale malanno delle società occidentali è la disoccupazione. I due mali non vanno visti separatamente. L'inflazione è -se vogliamo- l'altro rovescio della medaglia. Bisogna impegnarsi a fondo contro l'una e contro l'altra. Guai a dissociare questa battaglia, guai a pensare, per esempio, che pur di domare l'inflazione si debba pagare il prezzo d'una recessione massiccia e d'una disoccupazione, come già in larga misura sta avvenendo. Ci ritroveremmo tutti in mezzo ad una catastrofe sociale di proporzioni impensabili.&lt;br /&gt;consumismo individuale esasperato produce non solo dissipazione di ri&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Il PCI, agli inizi del 1977, lanciò la linea dell' "austerità". Non mi pare che il suo appello sia stato accolto con favore dalla classe operaia, dai lavoratori, dagli stessi militanti del partito... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noi sostenemmo che il cchezza e storture produttive, ma anche insoddisfazione, smarrimento, infelicità e che, comunque, la situazione economica dei paesi industializzati -di fronte all'aggravamento del divario, al loro interno, tra zone sviluppate e zone arretrate, e di fronte al risveglio e all'avanzata dei popoli dei paesi ex-coloniali e della loro indipendenza- non consentiva più di assicurare uno sviluppo economico e sociale conservando la "civiltà dei consumi", con tutti i guasti, anche morali, che sono intrinseci ad essa. La diffusione della droga, per esempio, tra i giovani è uno dei segni più gravi di tutto ciò e nessuno se ne dà realmente carico. Ma dicevamo dell'austerità. Fummo i soli a sottolineare la necessità di combattere gli sprechi, accrescere il risparmio, contenere i consumi privati superflui, rallentare la dinamica perversa della spesa pubblica, formare nuove risorse e nuove fonti di lavoro. Dicemmo che anche i lavoratori avrebbero dovuto contribuire per la loro parte a questo sforzo di raddrizzamento dell'economia, ma che l'insieme dei sacrifici doveva essere fatto applicando un principio di rigorosa equità e che avrebbe dovuto avere come obiettivo quello di dare l'avvio ad un diverso tipo di sviluppo e a diversi modi di vita (più parsimoniosi, ma anche più umani). Questo fu il nostro modo di porre il problema dell'austerità e della contemporanea lotta all'inflazione e alla recessione, cioè alla disoccupazione. Precisammo e sviluppammo queste posizioni al nostro XV Congresso del marzo 1979: non fummo ascoltati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;E il costo del lavoro? Le sembra un tema da dimenticare? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il costo del lavoro va anch'esso affrontato e, nel complesso, contenuto, operando soprattutto sul fronte dell'aumento della produttività. Voglio dirle però con tutta franchezza che quando si chiedono sacrifici al paese e si comincia con il chiederli -come al solito- ai lavoratori, mentre si ha alle spalle una questione come la P2, è assai difficile ricevere ascolto ed essere credibili. Quando si chiedono sacrifici alla gente che lavora ci vuole un grande consenso, una grande credibilità politica e la capacità di colpire esosi e intollerabili privilegi. Se questi elementi non ci sono, l'operazione non può riuscire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;di Eugenio Scalfari&lt;br /&gt;«La Repubblica», 28 luglio 1981&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="40" height="300"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jrn1d1ppgWg&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Jrn1d1ppgWg&amp;amp;hl=it&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22679244-2581980195923482826?l=www.nicolaperoni.it' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.nicolaperoni.it/feeds/2581980195923482826/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22679244&amp;postID=2581980195923482826' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22679244/posts/default/2581980195923482826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22679244/posts/default/2581980195923482826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.nicolaperoni.it/2009/06/in-ricordo-di-enrico.html' title='In ricordo di Enrico'/><author><name>Nik</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17131835307920028072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UeJsKJSHyVo/TeXvh7OlA3I/AAAAAAAAJwQ/wGZhYIQfP8Q/s220/IMG_3349-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22679244.post-3148587908633582899</id><published>2009-05-27T23:51:00.006+02:00</published><updated>2009-06-01T13:36:33.350+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Politics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cite'/><title type='text'>Perchè Sinistra e Libertà</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Per numerose ragioni voterò per &lt;a href="http://www.sinistraeliberta.it/"&gt;Sinistra e Libertà&lt;/a&gt;.

bisogna esser disposti a rischiare la vita per riconquistarla. Questo 25 Aprile si celebra in un momento in cui il Paese è colpito da una  crisi economica di cui sono evidenti le responsabilità. E penso ai giovani e al lavoro: voglio dirgli che l’articolo 1 della nostra Costituzione parla del lavoro, lo mette come il punto più importante, dice che deve essere un diritto. Se ti negano quel diritto lo devi pretendere. I giovani devono pretendere che la Costituzione venga rispettata per come è stata scritta da chi ha combattuto il fascismo. È stata scritta da persone che avevano fatto 20 anni di galera perché erano antifascisti. E ai giovani che misurano il loro valore con gli oggetti che possono comprare voglio dire anche questo: guarda che il tuo valore è quello della tua dignità di uomo"&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Silvano Sarti partigiano nelle Sap – Firenze&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22679244-8873766532223865884?l=www.nicolaperoni.it' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.nicolaperoni.it/feeds/8873766532223865884/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22679244&amp;postID=8873766532223865884' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22679244/posts/default/8873766532223865884'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22679244/posts/default/8873766532223865884'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.nicolaperoni.it/2009/04/25-aprile-sempre.html' title='25 aprile, sempre'/><author><name>Nik</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17131835307920028072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UeJsKJSHyVo/TeXvh7OlA3I/AAAAAAAAJwQ/wGZhYIQfP8Q/s220/IMG_3349-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_h7cYv3yURf8/SfJVEV29hrI/AAAAAAAAE3I/bQ-vzZj6ztM/s72-c/partigiani.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22679244.post-171833729306389466</id><published>2009-04-23T21:31:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T21:32:58.538+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Video'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Satire'/><title type='text'>Sulla satira</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="400" height="300"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rPL6RgJ77wI&amp;amp;border=1&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rPL6RgJ77wI&amp;amp;border=1&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Grazie Daniele.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22679244-171833729306389466?l=www.nicolaperoni.it' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.nicolaperoni.it/feeds/171833729306389466/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22679244&amp;postID=171833729306389466' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22679244/posts/default/171833729306389466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22679244/posts/default/171833729306389466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.nicolaperoni.it/2009/04/sulla-satira.html' title='Sulla satira'/><author><name>Nik</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17131835307920028072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UeJsKJSHyVo/TeXvh7OlA3I/AAAAAAAAJwQ/wGZhYIQfP8Q/s220/IMG_3349-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22679244.post-8623853938935363835</id><published>2009-04-22T21:33:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2009-04-24T21:43:25.107+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cartoons'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Actuality'/><title type='text'>Commento sul terremoto in Abruzzo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.unavignettadipv.it"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

God is always invented to explain those things that you do not understand. Now, when you finally discover how something works, you get some laws which you're taking away from God; you don't need him anymore. But you need him for the other mysteries. So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time — life and death — stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand.

font-family: verdana;"&gt;La sera del 16 gennaio 1969 un giovane studente praghese, Ján Pálach, si recò in Piazza San Venceslao. Teneva nascosta nel cappotto una bottiglia piena di benzina. Proprio all'inizio della grande piazza, davanti al Museo, con calma si tolse il cappotto, si versò addosso la benzina e si diede fuoco, senza un grido. Quando gli chiesero chi gli avesse fatto una cosa del genere, Ján rispose semplicemente: "Sono stato io". Non disse altro. Accorsero immediatamente gli agenti della Bezpecnost' e il ragazzo fu trasportato in ospedale, dove morì poco dopo. Il giorno dopo un trafiletto di poche righe avvertiva dell' "insano gesto di uno squilibrato", ma fu subito a tutti chiaro quale significato avesse il gesto disperato di Ján Pálach. I suoi funerali furono seguiti da migliaia di persone in silenzio, proprio come si racconta nella canzone di Francesco Guccini. Malgrado le (ovvie) strumentalizzazioni, il sacrificio di Ján Pálach fu e resta esclusivamente un gesto di libertà, un grido contro tutte le tirannie, di qualsiasi colore esse siano. Il punto dove Ján Pálach si diede fuoco è stato sempre coperto di fiori. Prima del 1989, delle "solerti" mani provvedevano a rimuoverli ogni giorno; adesso vi sorge una piccola lapide con la foto del ragazzo. Nessuno toglie più i fiori, ma ce ne sono molti meno di prima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.prato.linux.it/%7Elmasetti/antiwarsongs/img/upl/funerali_palach.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

The mind stirs and is suddenly alive and aware that it is facing a new adventure. No death in sleep this time. One night though, but then again I wouldn't know, would I?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The sun casts a golden glow in the east. No illusions as to thoughts of supernatural origins begetting this nuclear furnace for the most of history, for me. Pondering how the ancients considered the Earth as the centre of everything, with the Sun revolving around it, has me thanking my lucky stars for the scientific knowledge existent today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Heading out for my early morning stroll in the chill winter air with a thick fog encompassing all before me, gladdens the feeling that I am entering the realm of nature in the raw. No need to fear mysterious and ghostly creatures suddenly appearing out of the mist or indeed, the "Devil" arriving to take my “soul”, or any other such nonsensical happening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The excess moisture dripping from the gum leaves and branches reminds me of the interdependence and interplay of chemicals and structures of them, and how the immensity of time has moulded all things to be as they now are in my presence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;A disappearing rabbit, a Kangaroo in the distance, the first call of a Raven with the ensuing warble of awakening magpies heralds the new day. Life, as it has been in a multitude of shapes and sizes since time immemorial prepares to live once again, to feed, to become strong, all for the purpose of eventual reproduction. My mind can hardly appreciate the thousands upon thousands of times the circle of life, for each animal I pass, has taken place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Reality of the harshness of nature is brought home with a pile of feathers strewn at the base of a Wattle. To live, some must die and a mockery of "god is love" passes through my thoughts. How many creatures were torn asunder last night? This is not creative love - this is sadism by an all-powerful monster. I move away from these thoughts before despondency of the foolishness of a god fearing humanity sets in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The fog gives way to the rising heat of the Sun and in the distance the mosaic patterns known so well, re-establish themselves, with my amazement as new, as though it were the first sighting. How full of wonder it is to be alive.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Breakfast is accompanied by the radio telling of all the new horrors that have taken place locally and internationally. As each item is reported, the count for religious responsibility rises and I marvel why the connection is not mainstream. My heart is saddened for those thus suffering, and in opposition, my joy in having rejected superstition somewhat ameliorates the feelings of guilt that the religious should have but do not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Today is Sunday, and whilst billions of other people will be mumbling to their god, I will be shopping for food. I contemplate for a moment what I would think, were I a god and what effect a few billion or so whining, whinging and crawling servants would have on me. They do not even know if I really exist, yet, that does not stop them. What a sad and frightened lot is my creation. Too brainwashed to think for themselves. Back to reality land and I am oh so happy that I am not one of them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The shopping centre is a hive of activity. A collection of humanity busily pushing and rushing and mostly looking unhappy. The cupboard was bare and now the trolley is overfull. I do not thank a god for this harvest but I do consider the effect my living has on the planet. I buy with this in mind, looking for ingredients and packaging that have the least effect on precious earthly resources. It is very noticeable that not many of my fellow purchasers are similarly discerning and I ponder if the "god will provide" philosophy is at fault. To some extent, this would have to be correct.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The car takes me away from the crowded shops. The millions-of-years-aged petrol pollutes the atmosphere as I go, leaving me reinstating promises of being thrifty as possible with its use. There is some consolation, in that of the religious people I know, most are more concerned with the actual monetary cost of fuel and it is reinforced with me that such a philosophy is flawed at the basic level.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Passing the ample supply of churches, I notice that some are full and some are not. A profound happiness enters my consciousness at having escaped the cultural absurdities of worshipping a pretend god. My luck in this can only be described as beyond belief. To be born is winning the lottery, to live for an average span is another, but to be able to think any thought without guilt or compromise, is the lottery of all lotteries.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The rest of the day is amused with natural process, and away from the ever-present reminders of godly things, such thoughts are not even entertained. The pleasure of a quiet dinner with a couple of wines, of writing to a few friends via E-Mail, of another attempt at fixing a broken gate, of phoning a family member and just contemplating the joy of living, leaves the mind in a state of comfort and serenity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The night has arrived, it is a few hours old, and the rain is softly pelting on the western windows. The television has transformed from the entertaining to the banal and it is time to retire for this day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;As I lay in bed before sleep envelopes my Universe, I contemplate today's events. My very last thoughts, before I am unconscious once again, revolve around my incredible luck of arriving at a position of actually seeing life as life really is. The induced phantoms of a ubiquitously taught unreality lay slain, and exist no more.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;I drift off into the land of Nod, and I am complete.

Let us examine the evidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;There are four gospels in the New Testament but only Matthew and Luke include reference to the virgin birth. The gospel of Mark was the first to be written but not until about sixty years after the supposed event. Paul, writing in the fifties, also was unaware of a virgin birth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Surely it is significant that these two first Christian writers knew nothing about something that looms so largely in Christianity today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;With Mark's gospel in hand, Matthew and Luke introduced the virgin birth though they disagree in regard to the father of Joseph. They followed the same sequence of later events, though they certainly embellished the story. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The first chapter of Luke tells of the miraculous impregnation of Mary's cousin Elisabeth to produce John the Baptist. Six months later the angel Gabriel informed the Virgin Mary that the Holy Ghost would 'come upon' her and make her pregnant also. Not 'by your leave' or 'may it be so' - just 'this is how it will be' without any option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;How did Mary, or how does anyone, identify an angel? Have they wings or special clothing? By a remarkable coincidence these two acts of annunciation and impregnation of a virgin and the birth and adoration were portrayed sixteen centuries earlier, when Egypt was ruled by Amenhotep III and can be seen today in the Temple of Amen at Luxor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;As Matthew says, Mary was engaged to Joseph and, when it became evident that she was pregnant, he was upset to find that he was a cuckold, but an angel explained the situation to him in a dream. No doubt Mary explained the source of her pregnancy to her parents and friends, as a virgin would do today. 'Virgin' births were common in those far away times but not so now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Luke pin-points the time of the birth as when Augustus ordered a census of the 'whole' world. There was a limited census of the Roman citizens in 8 AD but that would not apply to the Jews. There was no reason for Joseph to go to Bethlehem and certainly none that made it necessary for Mary to go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Joseph had trouble finding accommodation in Bethlehem. Probably his relatives had died out or were swamped by the influx, for even the inn had no room, so Jesus was born in a stable and laid in a manger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Today the birth is celebrated on December 25th but Luke says it occurred when there were shepherds attending their sheep by night, so it could not have been in mid-winter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;An angel announced the event to the shepherds and suddenly there was with the angel a heavenly host praising god (Yahweh). When the performance ended the shepherds proceeded to Bethlehem, found the infant Jesus and made known what the angels had told them. Obviously the angels were close to the earth because it is necessary to have air for the transition of sound. Angels must have special means of propulsion through the void to 'heaven' as wings are useless without air. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We return now to the version of Matthew who says that Jesus was born in the days of Herod, the king, who died in 4 BC (this is a discrepancy of 12 years from the birth date given by Luke.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Wise men came from the east to worship Jesus, for they had seen his star. This troubled Herod, who demanded to be told where Jesus should be born and, when told, he instructed the wise men to go, confirm the news and report back. Guided by the star, the wise men went to Bethlehem and the star now stood precisely over the place of the birth. It must have been a very little star and only about 100 metres above the stable to be directly above it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The wise men worshipped Jesus and presented their treasures of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They did not undertake a long arduous journey to present trifling gifts so the substantial bounty intended for Jesus must have been dispersed while he was a baby, for he claimed to be poor and he advocated poverty. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Being warned in a dream by Yahweh, they did not report to Herod and returned home by another route. After they had departed, Joseph was warned by an angel in a dream to flee to Egypt with his family. This he did by night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Herod ordered the slaughter of all the infants two years old and under throughout the area. The Jewish historian at that time, Josephus, records the barbarous acts of Herod but, strangely, does not mention this one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;When Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying: Take the young child and his mother into the land of Israel. This Joseph did but when he heard that Herod's son, Archelaus, was now the ruler, he was afraid. Notwithstanding, being warned by Yahweh in a dream, he turned aside and came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth. There is no reliable record of Nazareth existing in that period. Joseph was ignorant that Galilee was also ruled by another of Herod's sons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;It goes to show just how important angels and dreams were to Yahweh as a means of imparting vital messages to human beings. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Since the days of Sigmund Freud, Yahweh has not been using dreams but concentrating on visions of the Virgin Mary or her image to deliver his messages. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The winter solstice has always been a time for celebration in the Northern Hemisphere. Christians just took over the Roman Saturnalia festival. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Let us still celebrate this time, not as a Christian festival, but in its original context.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span

way we think about the world. Richard Dawkins welcomes an attempt to raise consciousness about atheism by co-opting a word with cheerful associations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I once read a science-fiction story in which astronauts voyaging to a distant star were waxing homesick: "Just to think that it's springtime back on Earth!" You may not immediately see what's wrong with that, so ingrained is our unconscious northern hemisphere chauvinism. "Unconscious" is exactly right. That is where consciousness-raising comes in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I suspect it is for a deeper reason than gimmicky fun that, in Australia and New Zealand, you can buy maps of the world with the south pole on top. Now, wouldn't that be an excellent thing to pin to our class- room walls? What a splendid consciousness-raiser. Day after day, the children would be reminded that north has no monopoly on up. The map would intrigue them as well as raise their consciousness. They'd go home and tell their parents.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;The feminists taught us about consciousness-raising. I used to laugh at "him or her", and at "chairperson", and I still try to avoid them on aesthetic grounds. But I recognise the power and importance of consciousness-raising. I now flinch at "one man one vote". My consciousness has been raised. Probably yours has too, and it matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I used to deplore what I regarded as the tokenism of my American atheist friends. They were obsessed with removing "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance (it was inserted as late as 1954), whereas I cared more about the chauvinistic nastiness of pledging allegiance to a flag in the first place. They would cross out "In God we Trust" on every dollar bill that passed through their hands (again, it was inserted only in 1956), whereas I worried more about the tax-free dollars amassed by bouffant-haired televangelists, fleecing gullible old ladies of their life savings. My friends would risk neighbourhood ostracism to protest at the unconstitutionality of Ten Commandments posters on classroom walls. "But it's only words," I would expostulate. "Why get so worked up about mere words, when there's so much else to object to?" Now I'm having second thoughts. Words are not trivial. They matter because they raise consciousness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;My favourite consciousness-raising effort is one I have mentioned many times before (and I make no apology, for consciousness-raising is all about repetition). A phrase like "Catholic child" or "Muslim child" should clang furious bells of protest in the mind, just as we flinch when we hear "one man one vote". Children are too young to know their religious opinions. Just as you can't vote until you are 18, you should be free to choose your own cosmology and ethics without society's impertinent presumption that you will automatically inherit your parents'. We'd be aghast to be told of a Leninist child or a neo-conservative child or a Hayekian monetarist child. So isn't it a kind of child abuse to speak of a Catholic child or a Protestant child? Especially in Northern Ireland and Glasgow where such labels, handed down over generations, have divided neighbourhoods for centuries and can even amount to a death warrant?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Catholic child? Flinch. Protestant child? Squirm. Muslim child? Shudder. Everybody's consciousness should be raised to this level. Occasionally a euphemism is needed, and I suggest "Child of Jewish (etc) parents". When you come down to it, that's all we are really talking about anyway. Just as the upside-down (northern hemisphere chauvinism again: flinch!) map from New Zealand raises consciousness about a geographical truth, children should hear themselves described not as "Christian children" but as "children of Christian parents". This in itself would raise their consciousness, empower them to make up their own minds and choose which religion, if any, they favour, rather than just assume that religion means "same beliefs as parents". I could well imagine that this linguistically coded freedom to choose might lead children to choose no religion at all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Please go out and work at raising people's consciousness over the words they use to describe children. At a dinner party, say, if ever you hear a person speak of a school for Islamic children, or Catholic children (you can read such phrases daily in newspapers), pounce: "How dare you? You would never speak of a Tory child or a New Labour child, so how could you describe a child as Catholic (Islamic, Protestant etc)?" With luck, everybody at the dinner party, next time they hear one of those offensive phrases, will flinch, or at least notice and the meme will spread.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A triumph of consciousness-raising has been the homosexual hijacking of the word "gay". I used to mourn the loss of gay in (what I still think of as) its true sense. But on the bright side (wait for it) gay has inspired a new imitator, which is the climax of this article. Gay is succinct, uplifting, positive: an "up" word, where homosexual is a down word, and queer, faggot and pooftah are insults. Those of us who subscribe to no religion; those of us whose view of the universe is natural rather than supernatural; those of us who rejoice in the real and scorn the false comfort of the unreal, we need a word of our own, a word like "gay". You can say "I am an atheist" but at best it sounds stuffy (like "I am a homosexual") and at worst it inflames prejudice (like "I am a homosexual").&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Paul Geisert and Mynga Futrell, of Sacramento, California, have set out to coin a new word, a new "gay". Like gay, it should be a noun hijacked from an adjective, with its original meaning changed but not too much. Like gay, it should be catchy: a potentially prolific meme. Like gay, it should be positive, warm, cheerful, bright.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Bright? Yes, bright. Bright is the word, the new noun. I am a bright. You are a bright. She is a bright. We are the brights. Isn't it about time you came out as a bright? Is he a bright? I can't imagine falling for a woman who was not a bright. The website http://www.celeb-atheists.com/ suggests numerous intellectuals and other famous people are brights. Brights constitute 60% of American scientists, and a stunning 93% of those scientists good enough to be elected to the elite National Academy of Sciences (equivalent to Fellows of the Royal Society) are brights. Look on the bright side: though at present they can't admit it and get elected, the US Congress must be full of closet brights. As with gays, the more brights come out, the easier it will be for yet more brights to do so. People reluctant to use the word atheist might be happy to come out as a bright.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Geisert and Futrell are very insistent that their word is a noun and must not be an adjective. "I am bright" sounds arrogant. "I am a bright" sounds too unfamiliar to be arrogant: it is puzzling, enigmatic, tantalising. It invites the question, "What on earth is a bright?" And then you're away: "A bright is a person whose world view is free of supernatural and mystical elements. The ethics and actions of a bright are based on a naturalistic world view."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"You mean a bright is an atheist?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Well, some brights are happy to call themselves atheists. Some brights call themselves agnostics. Some call themselves humanists, some free thinkers. But all brights have a world view that is free of supernaturalism and mysticism."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"Oh, I get it. It's a bit like 'gay'. So, what's the opposite of a bright? What would you call a religious person?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;"What would you suggest?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Of course, even though we brights will scrupulously insist that our word is a noun, if it catches on it is likely to follow gay and eventually re-emerge as a new adjective.

E’ Fausto Bertinotti, ultimo rappresentante in terra della dinastia dei grandi comunisti, a rivelare l’inedito retroscena. “Ero in contatto da tempo col Santo Padre per via del mio personale e privato interessamento alla fede. Negli ultimi giorni di vita di Giovanni Paolo II fui contattato dal suo entourage, e accordi in gran segreto al suo capezzale. Adesso posso rivelarlo: posò sul comodino il vangelo e mi chiese a gesti il libretto di Mao che porto sempre con me. Lo baciò, lo strinse al petto, e spirò dicendo ‘Bandiera rossa la trionferà’”. Immediate le reazioni: centinaia di decine di militanti di Rifondazione comunista, ancora ebbri per la vittoria di Luxuria all’Isola, hanno invaso San Pietro addobbandolo di striscioni sessantottini; il papa in carica, dal canto suo, ha aperto l’omelia dicendo: “l’abbiamo sempre sospettato” e ripristinando la Santa Inquisizione per aumentare la propria percezione di sicurezza; il presidente del consiglio, subodorato da par suo tempestivamente il cambio di vento, ha offerto la social card a tutti i candidati della Sinistra Arcobaleno. Da registrare purtoppo anche alcune vittime: appresa la notizia, il PD è entrato nell’ultima fase della crisi di identità, e ha deciso di farla finita gettandosi nel Tevere nottetempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;da http://www.alessioatrei.it/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;Ci martellano talmente tanto con balle spaziali, che il caso della conversione di Gramsci al cattolicesimo è riuscito ad aprire un serio dibattito sulla stampa.
