Refinishing A Metal Daybed

We just have to laugh ... (post high-ironic)

Over the past 3 months Latimer was the scene of several controversies, some of them very bitter. Accomplices statements of the opposition and some newspapers published articles on a bit of a party, between the majority and the opposition there was still the possibility of a peaceful dialogue and constructive in the interest of the city.

So far there has been limited only to demagogic accusations and legitimate defense, and when the majority invited the opposition to dialogue, the Mayor has been labeled - who last July 1 has not even had the courage to remain in the city council - with the title of a famous novel (which the authors certainly have read the press release ...): Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide .

Well, it seems that things are changing for the better. One of the main opposition UDC license plate - Gabriele Argentieri - launched his blog very serious thoughts in the public interest. As you can appreciate the 'commitment' good Argentieri so that all citizens can enjoy the rides of the amusement park traveling, stopping at Latimer on the feast of St. Margaret? It 'clear that this is a hot topic and that affects everyone ... Never mind if Latimer is on the brink of financial collapse ... the rides must be guaranteed: it could be driving the "tagada" or "rangers" have fun and not think about how silly the white elephant / sports hall left us a legacy of who sits next to council's (and anyone who does not speak ... but nobody, not even the estimated and "free" Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno ...).

But the Catholic Argentieri is not limited to this (although it could view the importance of the previously mentioned ...) but also speaks about the phantom words glorifying the Mafia that would were uttered by one of the Boom by Bash at the concert on 18 July 2010. (The singer in question would have said "the Mafia kills but at least work there ... who really cares is the .."). Councillor most votes in the city say they are outraged, not so much - or more - for such words (which I personally did not even hear this because it was not ...), As for the fact that "no institutional representative warned the responsibility, the urgent need to take the microphone and said, firmly, flatly rejects the most devastating in that message" (his words ...) So, according to our leader, someone from the majority this would stop them for a gig, taking over the microphone to make a short speech e. \u200b\u200b.. ... in style "Ruggeri" in short.

And what then of the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, which is angered by parks Latiano not in good condition and and drinking fountains for dirty ? It 'clear it is the fault of this administration: the fountains two months ago they were neat and parks of Latimer were among the most cared for in Europe ... then when we came to administer the city, the parks have lost just and fountains were inzozzate by aliens ...

Now, tell me honestly ... but reading these words not to laugh? I will, but what emerges is a laugh of Pirandello's ... (UDC the erudite group will know what I'm talking about), a bitter laugh that makes me think ... On what? Well, the mediocrity of the subjects taken by these people; arguments so bland and devoid of social interest that can not even to be demagogic or instrumental, but who see unintended comedy their unique and essential feature ... I almost feel the lack of technical staff on charges instrumental .....

After much sarcasm a serious thought about the Mafia, the words of the singer (if that really does have these) are undoubtedly to blame ... the mafia is one of the biggest problems with the Italian national policy (problems that, unfortunately, often the same) and this is not discussed. But stand on stage, interrupting a concert and do rallies, is not fighting crime, but just throw the wool over people's eyes . To counter delinquency systems are others: eg. increase the prior surveillance, discuss the possibility of establishing a community policing service in areas at risk of social awareness campaigns to ... All things that, over the past eight years, strangely no one has ever thought it would be nice if someone of the opposition - for example Mr. Argentieri, who constantly repeats of wanting to "engage" - propose something like this in the appropriate forums. very severely affected the social dimension latianese ... finally .

Before closing I would like to remind readers that for the last past 8 years ... well above the administration has been made by others ... just for the accuracy

Do Mexicans Like Indians?

Latimer is the common enemy


the mid-80's of last century, said Nils Christie the development of the new penal policy through the notion of "Suitable Enemies", according to the scholar, the "Suitable Enemies" would be those social actors that become the subject of periodic campaigns of moral panic and to which are catalyzed all those feelings of insecurity, political instability and dissatisfaction felt by citizens. According to this view, every phase of political transition would be characterized precisely by the construction of a "common enemy" and the purpose of its creation would be to bring the public from part of its creator with a view to enhancing consensus. The "Suitable Enemies" would have the primary function of moving the attention of society to another, the "common enemy" - in fact - to beat for the good of all. In order to be perceived as dangerous, the "common enemy" must be felt as a threat to society immininente affected by its presence. Also - always to move the social consensus in the direction of who advertises incessantly - the "common enemy" must be perceived as difficult to win if not with great effort and with the help of all.


In our society you can do several examples of "suitable ENEMIES "in recent times such as" common enemy "was the class of immigrants, which was the primary target and the political battle par excellence of the Northern League. But still, do not pay attention to the campaign as a moral panic which in recent years has been the Judiciary, probilmente that is singled out as "common enemy" in order to divert attention from the mass of facts certainly more serious and embarrassing?


often happens, in short, not only at national level.


Every politician, who in his own way has been the head of a government (even local), seeks to create a "common enemy" to which all catalyze social unrest, while strengthening its position now apparent decline. It is not easy to notice these maneuvers. Often the policy relies on mass-media and print media that broadcast his thoughts, often makes claims impossible to verify, but at the same time, hard to refute ... because of the lack of tangible evidence that an assessment can objective ...


That 's what has happened in recent months - and continues to happen today - Latimer. The theme is always the same, the technical staff of the Mayor De Giorgi. On July 12, 2010, there appeared a new press group of UDC-PD-VERDI in which the Mayor is even called "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (and this speaks volumes about the level of the protesters) ...


be clear, I will not defend the staff, who make up is perfectly capable of defending itself. The staff, I have always maintained, it will be open to criticism or praise only when there will be results subject to objective verification. At the moment this can not happen because of the lack of objective data, so I think these criticisms are endless demagoguery, but especially misleading. And here is the news ...


In fact, if we consider the theory of Nils Christie, one might think that "someone" is trying to transform the staff of the Mayor in the "common enemy" of City of Latimer. Why? Well first of all to strengthen the consensus that the same "someone" saw slowly decline (as in the previous election result has shown), but at the same time to divert attention from situations latianesi certainly more serious and certainly more embarrassing (for those who have lost the elections). I refer to the 2010 budget approved by the previous city administration in the month of March 2010, commented in an exhaustive manner by the Mayor in his report at the City Council of 1.7.2010 (this Council immediately abandoned by the groups PD-UDC ... who knows why).


Without the staff in the guise of "common enemy", in fact, the latianesi could direct its attention to the fact that many funding provided in the above budget estimate - including, for example, that for the completion of the stadium, or for the maintenance of roads, or for public lighting - are in fact impossible, or because they were supposed to be financed with loan (Grant this strongly opposed to the stability pact) or even because would have to be subsidized with funds never actually allocated.


So - good for giving the theory of Nils Christie (and for me it is) - the Technical Staff, shown as an "enemy common to hate and fight, would act as a catalyst of emotions and citizenship and would be useful to other passing situations in the background.


short, the technical staff that is more opposition to the majority ...


Spark citizens Latimer: you risk seriously running out of sports hall and the streets similar to the surface of the moon, but do not think ... there is a municipal authority recently established that is singled out as the real enemy ... and who knows, maybe one day some of the protesters will deign to explain why ...
