How To Make A Dress Look Formal

The welcome is the new frontier

Landing in 1831 in the port of New York, the young Tocqueville remains amazed by the dynamism of the people who were erecting a new nation. What Withman calls the teeming nation of nations. Above all else is surprised by the spirit of equality that permeated the lives and customs of the people. He remembered
JFKenndy in a pamphlet in 1957 that immigration is going to be also published by us Donzelli for having been partially anticipated by the Republic today. This' that Tocqueville saw, Kennedy writes, was a society of immigrants who had begun a new life on an equal footing.
Kennedy And those are the premises of the new frontier of his American dream.
We know for many that dream was a nightmare, even without mentioning the slow relentless destruction of the natives. How many tragedies of marginalization and exclusion have been consumed in the light of that radiant vision: Indian, Chinese, Mexican. Kennedy cites a New York newspaper that writes about the Italian immigration: "The floodgates have opened, the bars down the sewer .. unstopped. The dregs Immigration is pouring on our shores. Of mud from the tanks as well, the scum of the third class is filled in our country ... "
We have forgotten all this, the odyssey of our emigrants, to eradicate the suffering, separation and oblivion of suffering families, suffering . The exciting text
Kennedy says "the immigration laws should be generous, should be fair, should be flexible. With similar laws in the world and we can look to our past with clean hands and clear conscience. "
Our country today can not have a clear conscience, either to the past of her citizens or their future.
Some time ago I spoke of compassion, a sharing of the pain so effectively describes Kennedy. A feeling of participation must not only be aimed at those who driven by despair arrive in our country, but also for generations to come, which fear, suspicion, mistrust, racism threaten to erode the future to affect the expectations of freedom, undermine the perception of dignity.
why I said that the opposition to repressive measures, unfair and inflexible became a necessary exercise of good citizenship.
and "compassion", that compassion must find solutions and social policies and position on a permanent a culture of pluralism and respect for the principles of rights, of the possibility of the differences in freedom, to give completeness to democracy.
the suffering of those who leave, taking with him memories and traditions, which often find it hard to perpetuate that escape hunger and concrete threats that threaten the existence, to address other equally terrible, can not be answered with the culture of control, with the militarization cities, with indiscriminate repression to defend the territories of the privilege, with the forced passage of the welfare state to the state prosecution. To start this
need information and cultural processes, which also help to promote the legal guarantees of rights of freedom and social and political rights. To guide public opinion towards the affirmation of traditional titles and new "entitlement": those of foreign migrants, but also the right environment, water, to not be marginalized for sexual preferences and options. In essence, the right to peace, justice, fairness, dignity
And also entitled to a welfare state, where the left has been guilty failure, the perverse effects of playing party politics and welfarism, and that today we pay with the dismantling of the apparatus of the social system, subordinated to the logic of the market competitive and discriminatory.
It would take just one left active on these issues. Able to look and to protect the expectation of "future", to counter the phenomenon of deculturation, and eradication of deterritorialization that our hegemony of developed countries has forced the countries of starvation and the masses of immigrants pouring into our borders.
would be obliged to do so: the renunciation of leadership on these issues, that is, we condemn the threat of insecurity to the fear for the future, theirs and ours, which weighs on the mortgage on the outrageous hope. We must find the courage of a creative policy that resists political and economic discrimination in the name of the complexity of the world, its variety, its beauty and power evolutiva.L 'alternative may be uncertainty and fear.

Now Lets Have A Look At That Vergina

Immigrants? best if they are victims of compassion

Today my friend Laura Valsecchi with clear intellectual honesty has overwhelmed my good feelings of individual politically correct (and ultimately probably hypocritical) telling with grace and grief of the difficulties encountered by the carers who come through the his parents. We think
with discomfort throughout the day. To her I said that they repeated the lies of the Old conventional feminism: women have a kind of moral superiority, all women are good .. Old or operate. But perhaps even of Christian thought: the suffering undergone induces primate of ethical
The reality is that we want all the immigrants who arrived in our country were shins of saints, they prefer to the refugees. Why do so to better defend them, strengthened in our convictions from their status as victims. We feel more determined to defend their rights. Li
we are not as good as we'd like to accept more diversity. And with greater tenacity to ensure that the 'acceptance'.
Because obviously the fear and the resulting primacy of security as the cornerstone of our civilization opulent, our privileges, even guaranteed by law, has also made inroads in me, in you. The objective
want to live a life without risk of contamination tank, it feeds the idea by now deeply rooted in social conscience, that every conflict can be governed by and must be resolved in the criminal field, which serves to fulfill the promise the company policy to immunize from those who are "outside" the system of guarantees and reducing the complexity of social tensions to the binary code good citizen / enemy differently. Born and lived with us from the fortunate of the world, abiding by the rules and their destitute, came to light the wrong hemisphere, potentially transgressive even desperation.

But even before the crisis was clear that if globalization was to a certain extent celebrated the triumph of global market economy, however, had eroded the social structures, degrading community cohesion, identity and solidarity.
And this explains the absence of a culture of acceptance and the prospect of an inevitable "antagonism" with regard to access to services or the salary, the new migrations exert a pressure which is interpreted as a threat, that expressed in terms of rejection and violent expulsion of immigrants who practice denial of their status as civil subjects and today's legal and political discrimination.

The growing expectation of safety channeling fear, artificially fed, in a widespread demand for replicas harshly repressive against evil or potentially evil and an authoritarian exercise of power against the risks of disorder and anarchy. In a context of increasing ethnic diversity, the presence of foreigners is seen as a source of insecurity, a further attack on achievements already undermined by the crisis, which have become a huge cemetery of hopes dashed. Anxiety, fear of losing benefits and privileges of origin, the sense of helplessness are downloaded over the other, the different, marginal, fueling a wave shape as the one that is racist and executioner, not only xenophobic, but also sexist and homophobic.
Everything is terribly complex and disarmingly simple: the demand for recognition of individual difference and collective identities is a demand for freedom is not only relevant to the field of citizenship. It has to do with the state of nature of Hobbes, with the line between friend and foe in an arena ranging from planetary tribalism and universalism, between approval and aspiration to identity increasingly autonomous.

So I think that has diminished the demand for a deep political match, while at the same time has established a drive for recognition and protection of individual autonomy and its prerogatives. Legitimate, yes, but they took to the lintel building a strong civil context for the recognition of collective rights, social and political.
The distribution of natural resources and wealth is not in itself neither just nor unjust. It is not fair or unfair that men are born under particular conditions in society. They are facts of nature. Unfair is the management of differences, the arbitrariness with which the governed.

is for us to pursue "justice as fairness." Although it is difficult. Although it would be easier to persuade with unyielding certainty that Manichean good and evil are on two opposite sides of a war. Although it is sometimes difficult to have the courage of painful reason and reasonable.

Xpress Train Part 1 Streaming

Sunday

Sunday newspapers read to coffee, quietly, as in the quiet of a country bar, with commentaries between allied pleased to find himself in the words of Scalfari, the exciting article Sofri. But the real editorial
unaware of the Republic, the one that hit me like a fist, shook my heart and squeezed the belly is another. It 's a picture of the news, not "art", not tamed by the special effects, it's there on page 7.
You see a migrant (in this pleasure of euphemisms, comforters of bad conscience, so even calls them the TG1) which cries, maybe on your knees? holding the hand of an agent Finance. I see again and that photo, I may have drawn incorrect conclusions, I hope, the feeling is that the agent leaves his hand, properly and hygienically protected by a plastic glove, abandoned, immobile, anodyne. It does not seem to reciprocate the close. And the young immigrants landed on Lampedusa, which holds it to him with both hands, vainly begs understanding, perhaps pity.
Pity: it my reaction was the same at the sight of the Ark to Nicholas, in front of those women torn by grief. The same as when faced with the militia, that he fell backwards. The child taken away - to where we know - from a ghetto.
But I do not like the pity. I wish I never had to try it. I wish that our country does not know it, instead putting "compassion", that of Rosa Luxemburg who writes about a buffalo to the yoke, exemplary image of "slavery", that of Kierkegaard, which comes from 'being tested at the same so, what is practiced putting the "place of suffering, instead of every sufferer." That of Schopenhauer, which sees it as an extension of self-love, as its share of pain and others. So I should feel
that a "civil and political compassion, solidarity and common share indignant because the insult done at the suffering is also committed against us all human, against those of us who have suffered abuse misery exile and those who will suffer.
But in these days to pursue something close to the compassion, the voice that was raised was stronger than that of the Church, accustomed to Christian piety. Alzatasi silence on the minds of indifferent to try to cover the ugly noises of the fascists of today, too much like those of yesterday. Ben
be that voice.
But I would like others, legitimized by history to scream.
That equality of the left has constructed thoughts, beliefs and struggles. That "culture" and education, because the overwhelming Racism kills the future, the beauty of thought. That of the institutions, yet independent.
Because unlike the Church I believe that the principle of political equality among citizens and civil is not the result of a natural condition, which precedes the formation of the political sphere. Especially today that it has expanded the gap between the differences of origin, including those living in the West and who among the fat overwhelmed the rest of the world, that of survival and the promise of death by starvation.
Equality "civil society" is not a natural endowment, but a conquest that individuals gain by accessing the public sphere and must be guaranteed by democratic political institutions.
For this offense to the rights of the boy with his cap in the photo on the Republic is a threat to our "right to have rights," a danger to our "citizenship" for our community membership and democratic our exercise of freedom and dignity.
So I would hear the voices of the choir of democracy or what's left. For this we must make our voices heard. Before it's too late.

risks of obedience

These days in the wake of recommendations from friends concerned about the pats look insurrection of some utterances of those who are self-appointed "disobedient" I said that we must find streets because of the disobedience is a little risky, do not compromise safety and security.
was wrong.
Or rather I had in mind the dangers of explicit criticism of militant dissent.
However, many are the risks we run.
The first is the legal recognition of racism.
That means giving life to a spiral of discrimination, injustice, repression.
That means that the hopelessly corrupt "ring of sociability" our privileges, our well-being are threatened by others, therefore, take refuge among us like, with the same religion, the same traditions, same skin color, the same brands and the same logos and the same consumption, largely as values shared.
This erosion of sociability and solidarity mark all areas of social life and gradually create hostility in a circle inexorably destroys the public interest and its tenets of legality, impartiality, care of the general, replaced by the primacy of immunity and impunity ...
From mistrust, fear, suspicion, since the closure results in a loss of the sense of the future. What
agenda of government - and we see it - but especially in moral terms, it determines and authorize actions and emergency-type measures, dictated by a policy management "business area". But there is another
front opened by this law, which shows a "culture" authoritarian and authoritarian indifferent to the universality of rights, parliamentary and the dialectic of belief, for due process and critique.
And it is the injury done to the constitutional rights when defending human dignity and guarantees of asylum and hospitality.
Even if this offense has a large representation! There is no consensus that can justify the violation of the forms and limits that the Constitution states.
To disobey this, pay some price in the immediate is an investment in democracy and legitimacy in the future. Efforts are needed to make inroads also on collective beliefs dominate where indifference, distrust, resignation and the conditions of authoritarian disturbing outcome of a conflict or even paradoxical discrepancy between legality and legitimacy.

Job Site: Helping disobedience with the competence

in our country have become law, the state racism, apartheid, exclusion from the rights, the erosion of the bonds of social cohesion, injury to dignity.
And there was an estrangement from the positive processes of globalization. To which we must respond by retrieving the positive sense of both security and freedom, assuming that security and liberty can not survive outside of political structures that link at the same time, individual autonomy and social solidarity, the identity of citizens as rights holders and members of a social and civil defined and characterized.
It is, I believe, to give strength to the content of equality and liberty retrieving and updating the institutions, processes information, the political agenda in everyday life. In our society has become blurred, because of the crisis and subsequent entrenchment of a selfish interest in defense and special privileges and caste, the demand for equal political protection. It does not seem to find a place instances of development of a democracy, the guarantor of freedom in diversity. The politics of fear seems to have prevailed on the basic principle of the autonomy of persons as free and equal moral agents on a vision of freedom and democracy based on mutual compatibility of collective identifications, even divergent and even alternatives.
It is said that the primacy of selfishness on the definition of a collective identity and changeable. And it is a deep wound inflicted on the community of democratic citizenship, open and inclusive, because it creates differences and divisions in the rights and civic duties, and returns an image of freedom as an exercise of dominion over each other.
If we lived in a community largely "Illusory" Currently there are no more misunderstandings. The so-called Security Act is a pillar of the architecture that perpetuates social and economic inequalities in terms of titles, opportunities and access to resources. Confirming the iniquity of the lottery of life conditions depending on the initial endowments of natural and social, of being born in one part or another of the world, benefit or prejudice, or belonging to a caste. We talked about

yards disobedience thinking of comparison sites feel free to those consciences which along with civic anger recall the year of the policy, membership of the polis, and who want confirm the equal value of equal liberty for the people, restore the ethical importance of a range of men and women can lead to a policy of extending citizenship rights.
This is disobedience. To distance themselves from the politics of suspicion, fear, of repression. But
disobey is risky. Someone pointed out that for some is a luxury that you pay dearly. For example, I am one of those: I have long made life choices and living a condition of a certain freedom with respect to constraints and responsibilities, work and family. For others, disobedience means higher prices.
's why we ask a range of technical and professional skills to help us. Disobedience in order to exercise more effective and to reduce personal exposure to those who do not have to pay too dearly for freedom of expression, the militancy, solidarity, and civilization.

shacks are built of wood and aluminum in the suburbs of the cities where they live close to each other. When
able to approach the center at a high price rent dilapidated apartments.
is usually present in two and looking for a room with kitchen. After a few days turn into four, six, ten.
Among them speak languages \u200b\u200bincomprehensible to us, probably ancient dialects.

Many children are used for begging in front of churches but often dark-clad women and men almost always older people crying for mercy, petulant and plaintive tones. They
many children who struggle to maintain and are very united among themselves.
They say they are addicted to theft and, if obstructed, violent.
Our women avoid them because not only unattractive and wild, but because it was rumored some rapes consumed after ambushes on roads devices when the women return from work.

Our leaders have opened too inputs border but, above all, have not been able to select among those who enter our country to work and those who think they live by their wits, or even criminal activities ...

... This preference to Veneto and Lombardy, late-witted and ignorant but willing to work more than others.
They adapt to homes that Americans refuse as long as they remain with the families and do not question their wages.
The others, those that have reported much of this first report, from the south of Italy. I invite you

Retaining Wall Alternatives?

EMPATHY: ILLEGAL

difficult to forget the list of asylum: the son refused because their parents are Italian, and married taxpayers for the benefit of Maluba, beautiful, small, black and the daughter of immigrants.
Shocking find that for Italian grandmother, retired the date for a CAT scan will be between 6 months and Svetlana, illegal immigration, through unknown paths of support for foreigners, can do the next day, without paying a euro. Ignoble observe bus traffic from the East to come and take care of in Italy, market shame of human beings in search of medical help, indecent mockery of those who always pay taxes for a public health service which is often an impossible bureaucratic ordeal.
errors are committed in our country, very serious and that no government in the last 20 years has been able to handle competently. It is not enough to pay tribute to yet another measure, the further act of legislative determination. Not just because it gives us integrity, we do not preserve injustice, does not provide psycho-social and even security and order. We have a world all around us: the other. Everyone, of whatever race, ethnicity or nationality, are simple humanity, not hell.
from monkeys to humans is a short step, the same organization neuronal the mirror of the soul, the "mirror neurons" in the know what the other person is, physically and emotionally. Well in this hot summer look eyes of those who will turn off any hope of survival is bad for the heart of any Italian still capable of empathy, to recognize in the suffering, pain and fear.
A crowd of ghosts will cross our country and our city, shadows to the right then at the mercy of the living, crime in particular. Imagining women's bodies violated in the name of the absence of permission to live in our sky, mothers with sick children crying in the middle of the night, in silence to avoid being discovered, which would go to the hospital too dangerous. Men at some yard underpaid lick their wounds at work in a cramped basement to pay hundreds of euro profiteering Italians, Italians "of origin", who were born with an identity card. Imagine touching them infectious diseases because it is better to die as we live, in secret, and that care be put off in some corner of the world where unfortunately you were born. We Italians know well what the smell of desperation, the search for any world, in Europe or America, hoping to earn enough to raise our children in Veneto or Sicily, and yet we seem incapable of empathy aliens who are trying their luck in our country. Also we export human flesh, the worker and that of the Camorra, the mafia. Because in a basket of apples that are always running, even if you've caught in Italy. We can not even give a chance of living for these people? When it was our turn to show that they had to emigrate to survive for a few months to be able to do useful work, to have a reference that we uphold.
We can give a chance for foreigners? No. Can we help?
No. We can only report them, not cure them, exploit them, arrest them and then throw them outside our borders. For us, Africa, the Caribbean, are destinations in the East, nothing more.
our suitcases ready to be lost in some airport, national or international, do not look like bundles of illegal immigration and miserable wandering humanity. And yet we are all human beings, we should not forget, even on vacation.

Yellow Or Green Xanax Bars

Against racism and apartheid, we open the yards of disobedience

by Anna Lombroso
Open yards of disobedience?
Our democracy is sick, whether in an era marked by cosmopolitanism, by a widespread demand for the recognition of differences, is introduced a law that penalizes those differences, the reaffirms the condemnation already sunk to disappear forever, to hide , to escape forever, to break out of desperation.
All of our contemporary world is characterized by an inequitable accounting, morally repugnant as socially unjust: one billion units dealing in rich countries, three billion in the geography of scarcity and poverty, more than a billion of the wretched of the earth.
inequalities in resources and opportunities of the future, life, knowledge, hope among human landscapes of the world far too rich and incomparably more vast poverty of the famine are projected on to future generations. So now we treat them as slaves to condemn billions of contemporary slavery, poverty, desperation future generations.

But that distributive injustice, the tyranny of the odious privilege on the absence, that the defense property has the primacy on solidarity, sharing and responsibility similar to those of today and tomorrow, is illustrated by a repressive law based on the recognition of a "value" of belonging to a racial, ethnic and economic, of privileged white western well-fed and born from the "right side" of the world, has a horrendous record that he wanted to beat our country, distancing themselves from the democratic and European context.

Without going on the ethical aspects of a power that is exercised improperly denying rights, restricting freedom in diversity, altering the balance of pluralism, one can not but observe that these measures unfair and even more culpably stupid.
will extend the number of "hopeless" and sentenced to transgress against their will in the absence of legitimate opportunities. It will flood the health risk. It will multiply the malignant discretion, with the exercise of blackmail, the extortion, extortion. This will create legal monsters.
And all this will have the effect of substantial erosion of the bonds of social cohesion are essential in a time of crisis, increase suspicion and isolation, impoverish the contents of coexistence and democracy.
are not at risk "other people to us": our system is at risk Democrat, evidently still fragile though they may be lost to the Constitutional Charter and its tenets antifascist, antiracist, lay, enshrined in the Constitution born of the Resistance that "recognizes and guarantees the inviolable rights of man" and declaring that "all citizens have equal and are equal before the law, without distinction of sex, race, language, religion, political opinion, of personal and social conditions. "
disobedience in this case represents a form of resistance in defense of democracy.
must disobey measures pursuing a criminal who enters or stays in Italy without documents, which entitle the patrols, which prohibit undocumented foreign to recognize their children.
must disobey because criminalize those without documents makes them hostages of the slave trade, because there is no certainty of timing for a regular entry in Italy, as an Italian child has the right to be born in the safety of a hospital, a makeshift midwives among foreign born infections, and septicemia.
must disobey, to reaffirm the primacy of international norms and treaties that guarantee the free movement of human beings, refugee status and asylum. Open

yards disobedience to give support to those who want to exercise respect for the dignity, freedom, acceptance, a who, guard, policeman, doctor, priest, clerk of the Registry will fight in every day life for the democratic culture and pride of our country, why not be held hostage and author of fear, discrimination, of oppression.

ask information professionals and communication with legal experts, to health professionals, public officials, who already works in the context of "solidarity" for her contribution of ideas and experience. Why create a broad and diffuse movement, a network operating on and rooted in the defense of values \u200b\u200bof fairness, citizenship, emancipation and freedom. Our freedom.
