Regione Piemonte

Gent. Dott. Schiavi,

La ringrazio per la sua gentile ed esauriente risposta.
Non posso che deplorare il fatto che le regioni in Italia non abbiano alcuna autonomia.
Vede, io non sono simpatizzante della Lega, ma penso di essere obiettiva nell’ammettere che in mezzo a parecchie farneticazioni forse l’idea del Federalismo non e’ poi cosi’ male...

Vede, uno e’ portato a pensare che in un paese veramente democratico siano i cittadini a poter disporre delle ricchezze comuni e che i politici siano al servizio dei cittadini e soprattutto in un paese che e’ in mano alla “sinistra” uno si aspetterebbe che lo Stato distribuisse equamente le ricchezze che appartengono allo Stato.

Io penso che l’aria che respiriamo sia una di queste ricchezze comuni, che appartenga di diritto ai cittadini che vivono in una particolare regione.
In poche parole, nessuno puo’ contraddirmi se dico che l’aria del Piemonte appartiene ai Piemontesi...
Con quale diritto l’Amministrazione Politica (destra o sinistra e’ lo stesso) vende le frequenze a monopolisti come la Telecom che le RIVENDE ai cittadini con profitti ENORMI senza peraltro curarsi minimamente di accertarsi se le microonde emesse dai potenti mast abusati possano essere nocive ai cittadini stessi?
Lei pensi a quale prezzo viene rivenduta l’aria che appartiene al cittadino ( sottoforma di minuti di telefonate) e mi risponda:
In cuor suo lo ritiene morale?

Non sarebbe meglio che LO STATO o l’Amministrazione regionale usasse l’aria dei cittadini AL SERVIZIO dei cittadini?

Non sarebbe ora che si iniziasse a pensare all’interesse pubblico e non a quello di pochi PRIVATI che usano e abusano i beni pubblici?

E non mi dica che parlo di UTOPIE.

Io dico quello che un politico lungimirante dovrebbe pensare.
Non sarebbe bello che un bel giorno, qualcuno si svegliasse e decidesse di fare qualcosa di diverso?
Qualcosa di veramente utile, senza usare parole come DIGITAL DIVIDE, ma si limitasse a fare qualcosa per accelerare il progresso e invertire la rotta?
Non sarebbe bello che si potessero usare tutte le risorse intellettuali che nonostante tutto sono ancora presenti nel nostro stato?

Io penso che un paese che ha dato i natali a gente come Galileo e Colombo un giorno o l’altro produrra’ nuovamente uno spirito innovativo, che sapra’ andare controcorrente, sfidando stato e chiesa.
Io lo penso perche’ lo desidero immensamente.
Forse lei sorridera’ per la mia ingenuita’, forse io appartengo ad una generazione in estinzione: la generazione dei sognatori...

Grazie per avermi ascoltata

The price of oil

denial > bargaining > depression > acceptance


They forgot:

finding a way out

That is what we will do.
It doesn't matter how or when, it matter that we will.

It is ridicolous to think our civilisation will stop for a few hijakers or the price of oil.

In one way I see it as a good chance.
We finally are woken up from a time of sleeping and a comfortable lifestyle.
We will begin again, and what is more enjoyable than a new challenge?

Happiness is not in what you have, but in what you dream and what you work for.
A comfortable and easy life kills the best of men: his inventive.
How boring is a life chained to a routine, where even the free time is becoming a repetitive, must do enjoyment...

Italian elections

A lot has already been said, a lot will be said, all but the truth.

Italy is a democratic country, a modern democratic country, because 84% of the people voted.
And, of course, someone says they voted for the right party: the left.
First, the number of voters has nothing to do with democracy or civic sense of the population.
And the people DIDN'T VOTE FOR THE LEFT.

In that I must say the Italians are not as ignorant and stupid as they could look or as they want them to appear.
The Italians voted neither for the let nor for the right.
The Italians, 90% of them, voted for the middle.

The real Left, Bertinotti and co. got little more than 5% of the votes.
The real right, Lega and co. got even slightly less.

Making a government on the left or a government on the right wouldn't do justice to the italians, it would give further priviledges to people who do not deserve them.

What will happen now?
Luckily nothing, unlukily a lot of bad things.
With the Left we will go along a road already proved to be wrong.
Putting more taxes and so lowering dramathically the investments, forcing people to bring their savings in the nearby friendly Switzerland, where, you can bet, they are celebrating with champagne for the results.

What would be the right thing to do? What could save Italy?
First:

The only ones who can save Italy are the Italians.
Aknowledging that the good times are gone and it is overdue a change in lifestyle.
In a country where the energy depends 95% on oil the first move is :saving energy.
The second move is: investing in alternative energy.
The third move: beginning to work.
The real work, the work that produces something, not sitting in an office and surfing the Net for killing the time, as many do.
Enjoying less and saving more.
We have a lot of jobs nobody wants to do.
We have a lot of jobs for people coming from Marocco, from the East and so on, and WE DO NOT HAVE JOBS FOR THE ITALIANS.
Why?
Because the Italians are too rich, too snob for doing certain jobs.
Because the Italians haven't realized that :

WE ARE A POOR COUNTRY AND WE ARE TECHNOLOGICALLY BEHIND AND WE HAVE TO STOP DREAMING AND BEGINNING TO SEE REALITY.
All the rest is just speculation...

A new TV

Rich Media

What we did learn at Broadcast.com, is that people will search , even if it takes some work, to find things they are passionate about that arent on TV.
The beauty of the net is that you can find any and every kind of video. Its the definition of Long Tail.
On the net, the value is in the network aggregator. On tv the value is in the show. The broadcasting network is not really a big deal.


Who needs TV on a computer, or worse on a cell phone?
This is the same mistake they made with VoIP.
A cheap Replica of the actual telephone system.
When VoIP is not just telephoning, but REAL COMMUNICATION.
You can do so much with a computer, why limit it to be the bad copy of a stupid phone?

And similarly, why condemning the Internet to be a BAD COPY of TV?
TV is BROADCASING, TV is showing.
The Internet can be much more.
Because first of all is a TWO WAY network.
Second is a DECENTRALIZED Netwok.
Why not making a new kind of TV?
Why sticking to the old, when we have the chance to have something really new?

I think the main reason is lack of fantasy.
Most of the people and the Managers of today are used to Copy, trying to make better revenues in a better way, charging more, cheating more and so on.
That explains the run for the Telcos towards monopoly of contents.
Not happy of their trembling monopolies on the lines, they try to reinforce them with the monpoly of the content.
For doing so they want to make different levels of bandwidth usage, so that the users who do not want to buy their content cannot buy it from somebody else.
If you need a steady downloading bandwidth of 1 Mbps to receive TV (their TV) the moment you don't have the 1 Mbps line you cannot access any Video streaming with a certain quality.
We call that "catching two pigeons with one only bean".
But what if they were wrong?
What if people do not want their content?
What if people FINALLY decide that it is overdue time to throw all the Monopolies of this world in the "DUSTBIN OF HISTORY"?
