Gad Lerner on 'Republic' of this morning has written an editorial, who has 65 years as myself, raises some concern. In short, but very briefly, it seems that all the ills of current society and future (the next two decades at least) depend on the existence and movement of the 'old'. That is too much, and cost and increasing costs to the rest of the Italian people.
Among the arguments put forward by Lerner in support of the conviction behind the reasoning articulated in his piece, there is also the statistics of road accidents caused by elderly people. Perhaps Lerner beyond the statistics of Saturday night. With young drunks and drug addicts.
Eventually Lerner proposes to extend universal suffrage even for babies. Very good. No objection. One person, one vote. Traditional rule.
But all this talk that long ago for a new generation, a detail that escapes is already in our Constitution, that of social solidarity.
If someone is planning to do the calculations of the costs of care for particular diseases that afflict the elderly or young, they could also get the extreme consequence of a return to Mount Taygetos, one from which they threw at Sparta Children born with deformities.
Except that with the progress of civilization, from Sparta to Rome, also through the Rome of "fatal packages" the empire on which the sun shone the singing of "Youth, Spring Beauty, someone could conclude that the first infant to throw in some landfill office and voted on by the ladies and gentlemen who suffer if they have ice cream mid-afternoon, you throw those who have a certain age, suffer from certain diseases or are too expensive to the NHS.
I know that Lerner in his retropensiero "did not conclude that these intentions forced maliciously. But be aware that the ideas of the deformed to expel or destroy are not so strange in a society that makes the 'success' body accepted the only yardstick.
Caro Lerner, a secret. I knew a "32" of Freemasonry, which was also headed a loggia with the highest candor supported the theory of Mount Taygetos. His brothers today revere him as a great enlightened mind. Perhaps he had never confided to them the thought that meant for us friends.
My generation had to meet two decades old. Now that we have entered into that category, we have to fear retaliation social (to put it mildly) for only the injury of age?
agree and endorse the view expressed by Professor. Giovanni Sartori in his bottom front page of the Corriere della Sera today, about the proposal to Carlo Azeglio Ciampi (elected President of the Republic to 79 years) to close to 55 years every political career.
Sartori says: "I known many idiots majestic of all ages, as well as people who are smarter than 90 years. "
Addition of a general nature. Who has completed a distinguished career and achieved a respectable settlement in private, do not go to occupy professorships in materials or who has never taught nor known, but leave room for the young scholars competent in those matters.
This is the real scandal that everyone sees but nobody wants to denounce. The mafias of all types and colors are, just look at each of the chairs in Bologna which is spoken by a few months. But do not pretend it does not exist, these mafias.
Before speaking people elderly who drive bad cars, these chronicles tell of corruption that plague ordinary universities and cultural institutions.
POSTSCRIPT. Just to be clear, in my family we are two, and only enters my state teacher's pension. Known to be a figure from nabob.
