<nettime> Election Day!!! |
Dear Paola di Maio,Brian Holmes & The net/izens Yes Paola, i agree with you that the problem Berlusconi is a problem that can only be treated on European Community bases & laws. If nothing because the law structures in Italy has been powerless to do anything.(Powerless because emptied of power...) . About the call for theories that Holmes does i could not agree more. But where are the new oppositions? To make new theories you have to deal with an emerging new reality. Not now, not in Italy. Even great industry ( Agnelli-Fiat) has come out with a helping hand to Berlusconi criticizing the critiques made on him around the world.And Montezemolo (the hero/manager of Ferrari car races) is presenting himself on "Forza Italia" lists. But now we are on the Eve of the Big Event!!! In front of the devastating activity of Cavalier Berlusconi let me remember an "old sonnet" wrote in the thirties to praise the relentless activity of Mussolini: "Sorge il Sole Canta il Gallo Mussolini Salta a Cavallo..." You could not say more with less. I will try to translate ( But as you know to translate is to betray...): "The Sun Rises The Cock Sings Mussolini Jumps on the Horse..." I propose a Net/Game: Substitute the name Mussolini with Berlusconi in the sonnet. Expecially in italian the rhyme keeps perfectly the place!! Election Day.( The Revenge!!)
