Swisher Sweets Vs Blunt Wraps
Hello everyone, I
make a brief analysis of the Tuscan PBC, connected to the national perspective.
Meanwhile I wanted to underline that all of us, as members of PBC Tuscany, now it is important to continue with consistency, and at all costs, in keeping with a serious alternative and "system", with absolutely no compromise with political parties or parts of the system. Looks forward to positive developments in the next few appointments that PBC will be engaged in defining, in more concrete terms, the new political entity, with alliances with Pallas and the Church. The hope that we can move, after the document "U.S. and other" to a common path is wide-ranging practice. As PBC Tuscany also ask to know better, as soon as possible, the new reality with which we ally ourselves.
In Tuscany, the situation of the PBC is this: we started from little, make some effort to let us know, in large part to the short time we have used so far.
Surely we will not walk more than chew and cercherermo of possible alliances to expand only where the conditions are there to make it real, both of people and programs.
Given a region like ours, dominated, even historically, the Masons and the former PCI, PD today, there are, fortunately still organizations that protect the rights of workers by the capitalist policies of fee reductions, such as' USB, of which some militants in PBC Tuscany and kindly host us for our meetings. Indeed, the precarious condition is a very widespread in our region, and given the situation in the whole country seems to emphasize even banal. And 'undoubtedly one of the weaknesses of the development model of Tuscany, along with environmental emergencies related to the creation of new incinerators (one right in Livorno, as designed, the current mayor), the spread of Mafia infiltration, especially in some sectors of the economy (housing in particular), the shortage of staff in hospitals, the domain, which was already mentioned, masonry and tile party that prevail on meritocracy in all areas of public life, to the lack of democratic participation of citizens in public life that accounts for most of his party that has only the name of democracy, the crisis orientation of the younger generation, certainly due to the lack of ideas or strong values, to be little prospect that our area offers. Unemployment is high, even and especially in a city like Livorno, which in some ways more reminiscent of a southern city that the center-north, but that, unlike the cities of the South was not a family structure that can meet the their social problems. As PBC
Tuscany we gave a few points that we would characterize our action, if the forces available to us, our skills and time will grant.
Hence the issues which we see as most pressing.
- Tuscan health and weaves between pharmaceutical and power.
- environmental problems: landfills and incinerators, the strong presence of asbestos or asbestos still to be disposed of pollution around the port of Livorno, Piombino as in other places, the risk of building a nuclear power plant in Maremma (Scarborough?)
- systematic reduction the rights of workers, layoffs and high unemployment (high to Livorno)
- school and university: the environment-school is still undemocratic, including bullying and teachers do not always know how to "read" the class that they have before. In the already large problems of schools and universities is part of the bad Gelmini reform.
- military presence of NATO base of Camp Derby is a scandal in which even our administrators have been unable to stop, reverted to civil aviation.
We would also like to organize:
- an initiative providing information on alternative therapies to conventional medicine, which expires in praise of the healers and holy men, and maintaining a high level of medical science.
- an initiative against incinerators
- an initiative on workers' rights
- an initiative / reflection (even a debate, but only inviting people and fighting against) on health
in the region - an initiative to promote a culture of free
Unfortunately, just as the differences with PBC Lazio had just returned, there was a very virulent attacks, both on a personal level, which in political terms, against Monia Benini, by PBC PBC Naples and Campania. We find serious what has happened, both in the method, both in terms of content, as well as on the level of personal insults against Monica. How we support the PBC Tuscany hard line against the PBC PBC Campania and Naples and we hope that the guarantors take action. PBC is based partly on the honesty of those who belong to, I do not think PBC PBC Naples and Campania have acted correctly, we think of as PBC Tuscany that it is necessary to draw the consequences.
conclusion on recent events we believe it is important to avoid for the future good of the PBC 'skidding' as has happened, this also for the image of the movement.

Coughing And Sweating A Lot
Dedicated to Angela Carter
C on the eyes full of wise folly and an enigmatic smile on his lips, as a disturbing statue gothic / Victorian Angela Carter is present in many of the roads and crossroads of my literary soul and, like Janus a strange female, may also present two faces, always incompatible, often inconsistent, but nevertheless perfectly symmetrical with each other.
This queen of the shadows (and I mean shadows strangely bright!) And ambivalence, this narrator from the priceless art and deliberately dense prose of high symbols, this eccentric, diverse, Ms. English has drawn, in fact, the handful from the inexhaustible wealth archaic and classic fable, a warm "material" throbbing full of dream and therefore unconscious (beyond the appearances more Jungian, perhaps, that Freud), in-cite the words of Salman Rushdie "combine it with Baudelaire, Poe, Shakespeare, and then analyze it and surrealistic meat with cold fury and rational. "
His stories, his stories, rising up like so magmatic and foundations, brick by brick, there's a hole in the sky flying with sharply pointed towers.
The meeting with Angela Carter can not in deep trouble and affect, in particular those who, like me, is attracted to fairy tales, drama and child psychology, multi-purpose entity, multifaceted and mysterious together, syncretically can compose a fearsome demonic triad.
The Carter also wrote several stage adaptations to their stories, and especially loved the theater, radio (including only those who like her, and how me, were born before 50 years, can remember all the sound splendor).
The preference, then, of Carter, the theater beggar, squalid and fascinating as a puddle after a rainstorm, that street theater with all its eight / paraphernalia of twentieth-century clown & Tumblers sad, from Luna Park roller coasters, circus freaks and striped awnings, fluttering in the wind of the north, is another important aspect of his personality, another vivid facet of his inner world.
And it is, as always, including in my own (thanks Verlaine! Thanks, Palazzeschi! Thanks Chaplin, Bradbury, Fellini!) And that, I think, of all those who have not succeeded yet entirely in casting off from the waters' s childhood, have failed, yet quite to forget ...
The real magic of "Alice, a Christmas in Prague" - a fairy tale plays on magic - it condenses surreal and valuable in the game of contrasts: folklore, superstition and problems mathematics, kaleidoscope of fireworks and rationality nonsense, pinnacles of gold, baroque of Bohemia and bananas on his head swaying to a now-for us- prehistoric Carmen Miranda, whose brazen sensuality destroys the steamy Victorian prudery Wing Carroll.
And here echoes the street theater: Dr. Dee, the seventeenth-century splendor of their courts of Elizabeth and Rodolfo that historically lived, seems to fall into that strange circus "noir" that appears at certain moments, the beautiful Cabinet wonders of Prague, a magician, scientist, alchemist, regress to showman, magician from overwork, even clown.
Moreover
-writer seems to suggest the evil behind the scenes- his creatures, the servants and slaves, those wonderful, preilluministici automata are perhaps not more than tumblers, poor puppets shivering and fear, whose stammering, numb words can not hide them in the bottom of a hollow voice echoed ... And mellifluous. And double.
"Double-sided, gentlemen and ladies! Just as there is legitimate to imagine the voice of any "creator" ... And what self-respecting, of course, is to be considered for any "created world" you should consider.
All this hot material was placed in the crucible and mixed by me, for my children: for my young players and for my young audience I wanted to test the survival skills and imaginative interpretation, measure body temperature in front of something infinitely different-structured, deep, layered- from what is usual, today "Their passing the convent" (TV, school, family, the societies they have the good fortune of living).
From cauldron has resurfaced - I was up again - anchovy increasingly hysterical in his "certainties" and "awareness" that looms over "Doctor" and all and , in the beautiful Cabinet, at first unconsciously, then with glossy and cruel determination, and unleashes a hellish Sabbath
That waltz was basically a demonic dance is today, a view not uncommon among those who have analyzed the swirling rhythms and extent of the disease for a century that swept much of the western world.
Image - from a photo, technically beautiful - "my" Alice, about to unleash the infernal dance, holding the light blue long skirts, it literally flies. for me, priceless in the symbolically represent what happened at the end.
L 'impact with the demonic and with waltz was overwhelming for my players greatly surprised, for my audience, at first startled, then exhilarated, and even for myself who I was, at least, aware ... We
Thanks Angela.
