When Is It Time To Tighten Sew Weave

The Huge Wine Glass and Mediterranean Games


than sorry! See work cost so much, split in two, right in the main square of Pescara, for a few months before the Games of the Mediterranean! It must be said that since this was thought, immediately became the subject of controversies and obstacles. I rather liked it. Too much. First, because it is a testimony of our times. Footprint of our passage. And increasingly Pescara crossroads of business and culture Abruzzo could not fail to express herself through work, modern and innovative, that characterizes it. I appreciate the art in general is because training can cultivate the human soul. And the presence of a work of Toyo Ito, inevitably stimulates the cultural debate between citizens, refines minds and leads to further explore the artistic. In short, an investment for "Pescara city of culture and an environment more culturally alive. Then we also look at the returns in terms of tourist flows: just do a search on google or yahoo to notice what the Huge Wine Glass has increased the links from sites around the world, to the city of Pescara. And last but not least, we take seriously, that the next summer, with the Mediterranean Games in Pescara will be invaded by thousands of young people who will tell the world the beauty and hospitality that they have found in our cities. So it was right to invest money on this, because the face is at stake the city of Pescara in the world in the coming years. Sure, someone may not like the execution. But keep in mind that, first of all to avoid a work was too obvious, then, such works need a longer time to be metabolized and thus appreciated in full. No one, on the other hand, if you feel up to questioning the position of art and originality of Toyo Ito. However, since now the block is split into two, we make a virtue of necessity: in its reconstruction should reflect the original model presented. There will be unpleasant opalescence and stratification that does not make it completely transparent and the glass will appear, really nicely in the air. But this will happen if the majority and opposition put aside their disputes and make the current square around the city of Pescara, moving to get a new realization by the manufacturer with a factory much better without succumbing to the easy temptation to exploit the incident for the mere purpose election. Add: do the same in time to complete the bridge on the sea and all construction sites, the best place for the city and take all possible benefits from this important sporting event that we have the honor of hosting in the coming months. So, long live Pescara, Pescara the living, long live the bridge over the sea, long live the Huge Wine Glass.

Promethezine Tab Make You High

Rating aware scary?

Certainly the GSP is greater among those who leave in the hands of our citizens the opportunity to select the best and according to our will, the political class that we will administer. In contrast to the partisan system of appointments is certainly an expression of greater democracy. But not enough. This is a necessary but not sufficient to ensure genuine involvement of citizens in the processes of choice and selection of the political class. Let me explain my reasoning for inviting reflection. In the last election, there was the system of appointments in the party lists. Do you think that the parliament has been really totally renewed? No, I do not think so. It is clear that both the system of preferences, with one of the appointments, the elect are always the same. Regardless of the merits and faults. On the administrative capacity and political and similar incapacity. In the case of preferences, are elected those politicians who have networks and links everywhere. (Where to find time to administer well and take care of people's problems, then a dilemma?) In the second case they are elected ... Always the same! Because as the secretariats of the parties to compile lists (blocked) it is clear that the yardstick for the choice is always that of popular support, linked to the number of cards produced for the party. Not this is wrong. The consensus is fondmentale. But where we put the matter? I, for passion, interest, curiosity, are among those who inform on the events that happen in our society, in politics. I read newspapers, attend conferences, meetings, conferences policies. But I tell you the truth, if you ask me if I'm feeling, really in a position to objectively evaluate the performance of Pescara mayor or the chairman of the region, a minister or prime minister, I will say no. Because, first of all the citizens get only part of what happens in the palaces and then because, often, what comes is intentionally difficult to understand. For example, the ex-mayor Pescara Luciano D'Alfonso has revolutionized the city, but it seems to have contracted numerous debts. Then it was a good administrator or not? This is an example, but to say that the citizens, even if you inform and document, not always able to correctly assess the professionalism and the value of their political representatives. And who does not take informed? Even worse. And you can not say ... "What is cultured, if you want to understand!" Why his vote should still have value. Democracy it's not an oligarchy of intellectuals?! Where I'm going. To say that citizens should expect, of course, the voting system with preferences, but also the opportunity to express one vote, I would like to call "conscious". And how? Making clear the building. But not only in terms of accessibility, because this already is. But what in terms of understanding. So we must lead the policy to set up a system of checks (hard word, eh?) And rendicotanzione of public administrators, a sort of annual budget for their activities. Objective data and assessed. How often have you been in this parliament? How many times have you voted? How many and what amendments have created? What laws has produced? And so on and so forth. Or in the case of Mayors: how much money spent? How many debts contracted? What results on this and that other field? It 'clear that in the first instance, the reporting system, having to be designed by those who must suffer it, will intentionally specious, but a little time to improve and make more and more responsive to the purpose. It goes without saying that the essential feature must be that of "comprehensible" by the citizens. In all, not just for experts. Because these data are already available, but they are almost always incomprehensible! And then we point again: the elections will have only the ability of our politicians inbonitrice and charming and not their value and their quality. Conversely, the citizens will be able to regain, not only in content and in the forms of the advanced tool of democracy, which is aware of the vote, and can really make a proper selection of the political and administrative executive, on the basis of merit, worth and ability, and not on the ability of the sales pitch beautiful but useless speakers that Italy is full and we do not need.
