Howto Know Guideline Value Of Area

Reflection on the current situational policy statement: PANTA REI


"Let's say, so theoretically, there is a ruling party, a ruling party, which, however, formally wants to respect the Constitution, does not want violate substance. Do not want to march on Rome and transform the classroom in a handpiece housing, but wants to establish, without opinion, a disguised dictatorship. Then, what to do to gain control of the schools and to turn state schools into Party schools? He realizes that the schools have been the defect of being impartial. There is some resistance, in those schools is always there, even under fascism has been there. Then, the dominant party follows another path (it's all a theoretical hypothesis, mind you). He begins to neglect the public schools, to discredit, to impoverish. Let it anemizzino and begins to favor private schools. Not all private schools. The schools of his party, that party. And then all these treatments are beginning to go to private schools. Cure of money and privileges. He even begins to advise the boys to go to these schools, because basically it says are better than those of the state. And perhaps we give prizes to those citizens who are willing to send their children to public schools rather than private schools. A "those" private schools. So the private school becomes a privileged school. The ruling party, unable to openly turn state schools into party schools, send the dogs to schools to give priority to the state's private schools. Warning, this is the recipe. We must keep an eye on the cooks in this slow cooking. The operation is done in three ways, as I have already said, ruining the schools of the state. Let go to hell. Depleting their budgets. Ignore their needs. Mitigate the supervision and control Private Schools. Do not check its reliability. Let the teachers teach you that do not have the minimum qualifications to teach. Let the examinations are jokes. Giving public money to private schools. This is the point. Giving public money to private schools "

Adapted from a speech by Piero Calamandrei of March 20, 1950.


Calamandrei was one of the great intellectuals of the first half of last century. On wikipedia it is the biography.

It looks like a prophecy, his speech? inquetante flawless does not fit with what is happening these days? How do you explain the otherwise absurd choice to implement statutory order, which has nothing to do with reform? Which excludes any possibility of dialogue between different political parties?

Meditate ...

Mcdonalds Meat Supply



After a first attempt last week with Al (Al was not in a day and we went after the first shot), now I'm back at the base of Mount Colt in the company of Matthew.
(I'm on the first shot during the attempt with Ale)

Matt is a friend, met when he was still working as a clerk to the vertical, by which time we plan to a way to do together. So, given the availability of both, today we launched on Panta Rei, a way of Philippi and sports company, which climbs the side of Mount Colt little to the left of the already repeated Pigs with Wings. Compared to this, Panta Rei is more demanding and sustained .. and shooting are all very nice (except the penultimate, short, discontinuous and not very interesting). Fabulous second shot, which won a non-trivial overhanging dihedral .. continuous physical and feet precarious.
(Mattia leaving the beautiful dihedral of the second pitch. Exposed!)

With Matthew I was fine, I hope there will be other opportunities to climb together. As he told me: "What is the next to last time!" (And it's always the next to last, I might add).

Front Wheel Drive Sandbags

Via Similaun plates zebra

foschiosa In this gray October day we went in with Ale Sarca valley. We decided to go the way of Iceman, a zebra on the walls of the historic routes. Like all the streets on "zebra" is characterized mainly by climbing grip, protected from most certain nails resin. Date numerous repetitions, unfortunately, some steps are required rather greasy. Overall, however, the way is fun, enjoyable, not too demanding on difficulties (there are only a couple of steps to sixth).

(At the end of the second pitch)


(Climber "bad", to stop shooting the 3 :-)


Ale forced to say he can not climb well in the plate, he enjoyed showing it off to be able to move well on the passages in which adherence was essential. Bravo! :-)


(Ale flexes its muscles, a little stressed on this path, after the non-trivial step
sixth)

Despite the release week, there were many Germans who "besieged" the plates. Real groups of climbers. Today we have not seen any base-jumper with the wingsuit, as had happened to me when we were on Max and Mon Cheri .. we have only seen a couple of runs with the glider.


(Bouquet of climber ...: - /)



(Ale has decided to join the "tribe of red feet!" Eh ... the
Tora shoes are great ... but
that little problem with the color :-)

After a zebra on the plates away, as always, you have to stop over where the eponymous bar .. to quench the dry throat you can admire the beautiful barmaids .. real ale? ;-)
