Why Do My Joints Ache And Burn

Jose Saramago, The thing Berlusconi



I do not see what else I could give the name. One thing that looks dangerously close to a human being, something that gives parties, orgies, organizes and controls in a country called Italy. This thing, this disease, the virus threatens to be the cause of death in the country of Verdi moral if a deep retching not be able to remove it from the consciousness of Italian before the poison end up corrupting their veins and shaken to the core of one of the richest cultures in Europe.

The fundamental values \u200b\u200bof human society are violated every day from the foot of the sticky thing that Berlusconi, among his many talents, has acrobatic ability to abuse of words, breaking the intent and meaning, as in the case of Polo Liberty, as you call the party with which stormed to power. I called him a criminal, this thing, and I do not regret it. For the sake of semantic and social others can explain better than me, the word thug in Italy has a negative value much greater than in any other language spoken in Europe.

To translate in a clear and effective Berlusconi what I think the thing I use the term in the meaning that the language of Dante gives him regularly, although it can advance more than a doubt that Dante sometimes I've used. Criminal, in my Portuguese, means, according to the dictionaries and the current practice of communication, "an act to commit crimes, disobey the law or moral precepts."

The definition fits with what Berlusconi without a fold, without a tie, so far as to look more like a second skin to the clothes you put on him. For many years, what Berlusconi commits crimes vary, but always demonstrated gravity. Ironically, it's not disobey the law, but, worse, makes you make to safeguard its public interests and private individuals, politicians, businessmen and accompanying minors, and as for moral precepts is not even worth talking about, not there are those who do not know in Italy and throughout the world that what Berlusconi has long been the fall in total abjection.

This is the Italian prime minister, this is what the Italian people elected twice to serve as a model, this is the road to ruin in which they dragged the values \u200b\u200bof freedom and dignity that permeated the music of Verdi el 'Political Action Garibaldi, who made Italy of the nineteenth century, during the struggle for unity, a spiritual leader of Europe and Europeans. This is what Berlusconi wants to throw it into the dustbin of history. The Italians, in the end, it will allow?
