How Old Is Johnny Walker Red Label

the author of evil (by Giorgio Bocca)

Stefano Cucchi, a young Roman arrested by police in possession of a quantity of drugs sufficient to consider it a drug dealer, died in detention. Of course she had on her face and body the sign of beating, it is known that the police and doctors have not provided the necessary care to save his life. According to the undersecretary
Carlo Giovanardi, who was later forced to apologize, "if you wanted," as the saying goes, ruining the health first, then breaking the law and then, presumably, offering the very existence and anger violence of the "agents of order" in which he could not see an intolerable mess.

Justified, a crime occurred, how many think they are as Giovanardi men in order, for having responded to a provocation. The case was written pages and pages of morality, complaints about the lack of piety and charity, and the darkness that always surrounds these relations between the police and citizens. But let's talk about the case Cucchi from a sociological point of view. Stefano Cucchi as a citizen is a threat to social order? And why? Why drugs and selling drugs? Yes, but why does so with the decisive aggravating circumstance of being a poor man, visibly ill, crippled, so no one knows if part of the visible injuries on his body if it is inflicted "falling down the stairs."

The real blame is to be Stefano Cucchi a sick person, a human wreckage that wanders around the big city. In the same city a multitude of public officer and senior management posts with social drugs but do not pretend, do not fall down the stairs, do not resist the police.

Normally you would say that the difference is nonexistent, which all violate the duty to be socially responsible, socially capable of discernment, but socially things are so radically different: the citizens are equal before the law as the Constitutions The company is divided between the rich and knowledge of money, which is permissible cheat others with finance, industry, with information, with medicine, and almost all human occupations, and those for minor scams such as theft and morally tolerable starvation, are stoned as Cucchi.

The true social dilemma, one that can decide on the freedom or the servitude of the future society is this: authoritarian democracy for the rich and wise at the expense of the poor and ignorant, democracy or the rights and duties guaranteed by the laws? The case can provide suggestions. In practice, as it was possible to solve it while avoiding the tragic end? The policemen who knew him could fail to arrest him for possession of small amounts of drugs in the days when all the newspapers we read that using drugs several delegates people in the government of the nation. In short, behave like the illegal immigration of carers and workers, on which both eyes are closed because it was convenient to our wellness is to our economy. But how can we ignore that the basis of these compromises, these exceptions to the severity and rigor there is growing pressure in the poor and dispossessed? And that this could lead to increased pressure in the coming years, first in the authoritarian democracy already under way and tacitly approved by a majority of the country prosperous, and then in streamlining vicious dictatorships in which the poor and unruly or facts were left to die?

does not see that two decades after the fall of the wall Berlin looming walls of separation other coercive? Cuccia the banker used to say that the company's shares "are not measured in numbers but in weight." And so, and almost everything that matters in our lives: money as justice, health, beauty, freedom. The solution authoritarian and even slavery is the simplest, the most decisive in appearance. Similar to the famous phrase of Tacitus: "Where do the desert they call it peace." The dictatorship and no one hopes will, in words, but in many preparatory, day by day, approving, backed up every day what empty democracy by adding something every day that the limits. The transition from authoritarianism to terror announced in disparate ways, seemingly disparate. Today is addicted to killing blows, tomorrow bum burned alive, the woman with the severed hands, which seem to leave no trace. But leave, leave the hostility to the laws, aversion to human rights, ignorance of the duties. To define the Mussolini said that colonialism was our "mal d'Africa". But many in Italy are those who still suffer from the "evil authoritarian"? (La Repubblica, November 12, 2009)
