Dialogoi Oi (version Some Like It Hot)


... or at least globally warmed.

Day 1:

Patient: "Well, Doctor?"

Doctor: "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I do not have good news. As we feared, and as I had anticipated, and lung cancer ... no, put the cigarette away, I do not think at the moment, and then to the hospital and No smoking. The first thing to do, in fact, it would stop completely. "

P: "Cancer?"

Q: "I'm afraid so. Now I do not want information overload, but it is important to keep in mind that we identified in its early stage and that there are several treatment options open, they give us a good chance of ... "

P:" What kind of cancer ?

Q: "Pardon?"

P: "I mean, it is a squamous epithelioma? Adenocarcinoma? Maybe a small cell bronchial carcinoma? "

D:" Well, it is virtually impossible to tell without a biopsy, for now I think Convenga focus on ... "

P:" What, me a cancer diagnosis, I started already talking therapies and not even tell me what is cancer? I'm sorry but I do not think very professional. What information has to be it really cancer? "

Q:" But the X-rays, the marker, the analysis of blood ...."

P: "All methods, she is a man of science teaches me, error-prone, no? Do not you think before you make myself care painful and dangerous for my health, as well as destructive to my lifestyle, it should at least be certain that cancer is it? "

D:" Well, really I think the important thing would be for you to begin to deal with it ...."

P: "I will address it when I'm not sure that she is destroying my life to empty as it does to that of false-positive 3 percent every year diagnose cancer without letting us feel "

D:" Anyways, 'Look, how about if we do a biopsy on Monday morning and we rise to the doubt? "

P:" Monday is possible, I have a lot of work, also wants to destroy my career and my outlook with these stories of cancer and life-threatening diseases? "

D:" Tuesday? Wednesday? "

P:" I'll know "

Q:" But at least stop smoking! "

P:" No way, it seems absurd that its claim to radically alter my lifestyle in the name of a threat that seems to me quite frankly very smoky. Goodbye "


Day 8:

Q: "So how are you?"

P: "Very well, I feel in perfect condition"

D: "Well, a positive attitude is very important in this type of disease"

P: "Well, what kind of disease, exactly?"

D: "A cancer, believed that what we were talking about?"

P: "Well, I wanted it right there, Doctor, I'm aware, and I discovered that there is a vast body of opinion of people who are skeptic about the idea of \u200b\u200bcancer"

Q: "... uh?"

P: "Sure. I know there are those who maintain that the cancer does not exist and it is simple fungal infections? That some argue that cancer is a perfectly natural phenomenon and the chemotherapy to kill the patient? Did you know that the Mayans and Aztecs did not have cancer? What you do not know a single case of Neanderthal man who died of cancer? "

Q:" But they had no doctors to diagnose it, they were ... "

P:" Well, I wanted it right there: does it not seem strange that to diagnose cancer, doctors are always and only, ie the people who have most to gain, in public funding and prestige from this mysterious 'cancer threat'? "

Q:" Excuse me, who should be diagnosed, a surveyor?

P: "It's not the point, the diagnosis should be persons who have no interest in that cancer exists in reality or in the collective psyche. But to diagnose it are always these 'researchers' of these institutions' cancer', and are always talking about 'sti cursed Crusader campaigns against smoking, which have their own agenda, their hidden objectives that have nothing to do with cancer and that merely seek to impose on society and the criminalization of smoking cigarettes "

D:" Yeah, ok, whatever he wants, but she continues to have a mass in the lungs and spit blood when he gets up every morning, and smokes two packs of cigarettes a day "

P:" Well, just that, his famous 'mass' so that the edges sfocati, mentre un tumore dovrebbe essere una massa compatta e sostanzialmente diversa dai tessuti circostanti... Come é possibile?"

D: "Beh, questo dipende dalla radiografia, non può aspettarsi che sia precisa come un disegno. Se vogliamo, vede qui, anche le ossa sono leggermente sfocate ai bordi...."

P: "Ecco, e questo non significa forse che una radiografia é un sistema di gran lunga troppo rudimentale e impreciso per diagnosticare qualcosa di importante come un cancro? Mi sembra che alla fine tutto quello che lei ha in mano sia una serie di assunzioni poco giustificate ed un sacco di propaganda della lobby antifumo"

D: (sospiro) "Va bene... facciamo una TAC? Una risonanza magnetica?"

P: "Both, perhaps, who knows that this time we can not find something compelling to support his theories ..."


Day 22:

Q: "So, these are the plates of CT and MRI of these ...."

P: "We're going to get worse, sir."

D: "Oh, I'm sorry to hear it, but if he refuses any kind of therapy and continues to smoke two packs a day ..."

P: "No, I mean, we always worse with his theory of 'cancer'. I do not see anything definitive here, the images are absolutely incomprehensible to me"

D: "Yes, they are difficult to interpret .. .

P: "Playing? Aha! Here we go again! Every time she claims to have irrefutable evidence in hand we have to reduce to 'interpret' hazy and incomprehensible things, every time you doctors will arrogate the privilege of making a diagnosis on the basis of factors that only you claim to understand, obviously with the support the anti-smoking lobby and the billions who managed to extort a public too gullible! I'm sorry but I'm not there to lend me your game, goodbye! "


Day 45:

D:" Oh, hi, I did not think to see more, is finally convinced that something is wrong? "

P : (waving a stack of paper) "That's her! This time I have in my hand, dear doctor, she and the entire lobby cancrista / smoke! You know what these are? "

D:" Uh ... no "

P:" They are the sheets on which I printed out his e-mail correspondence with the primary clinic, a friend who works in the computer room of the hospital passed me! "

Q:" But really ... I think one thing at least illegal, my correspondence is private ... "

P:" And we believe that the want to keep private! Look here, here are all evidence of fraud against me who tried to plot! Look here! Read! 'I applied the trick he had advised me to eliminate background noise in X-rays and make sharper the edges of the mass, I hope this is enough to convince the patient that there is mass really ...'. All his diagnosis is based on a trick, she admits it himself! He used tricks to convince me that I had cancer! And this! 'The biopsy is inconclusive ...'. Inconclusive! We recognize? She admits that the biopsy is inconclusive, "

D:" Yes, of course, in the sense that it was not sufficient to determine the type of cancer ...."

P: "And what did he answer his primary? 'After a month we do not know what kind of cancer has this poor man. All this is not scientific, is a caricature of the idea of \u200b\u200bmedicine! '. It is not science, not medicine, says his own primary! Where is the end of his complacency now where would be his famous 'cancer'? "(coughs, spits blood into a handkerchief)

Q:" Do you need help? "

P:" This is not near me! I'm fine, I "(leaves, slamming the door)


Day 75 (the funeral)

Friend:" Eh, has shown great courage, he laughed in his face to the disease until the end. You know what I always said? 'Cancer, for me, does not exist'. He smoked forty cigarettes a day until the end. If only she had some medical authorities, instead of the beast that he could not understand what was wrong ... "

Article 18 of the workers against the commodification of water.

I INVITE YOU TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE LETTER OF Zanotelli

Elektra


CURSED YOU!

I can not use another expression for those who voted for the privatization of water, and that used by Jesus in Luke's Gospel, against the rich: Damn you rich!

Damn those who voted for the commodification of water.
We will continue to shout that water is life, water is sacred, water is a basic human right.
It 's the most crushing defeat of the policy. E 'stravittoria of the economic-financial potentates, the international lobby. And 'the victory of the policy of privatization, business, business.

at the expense sister water is now the most precious asset of humanity, che andrà sempre più scarseggiando, sia per i cambiamenti climatici, sia per l'aumento demografico. Quella della privatizzazione dell'acqua è una scelta che sarà pagata a caro prezzo dalle classi deboli di questo paese( bollette del 30-40% in più, come minimo),ma soprattutto dagli impoveriti del mondo. Se oggi 50 milioni all’anno muoiono per fame e malattie connesse, domani 100 milioni moriranno di sete. Chi dei tre miliardi che vivono oggi con meno di due dollari al giorno, potrà pagarsi l'acqua?
Noi siamo per la vita, per l'acqua che è vita, fonte di vita. E siamo sicuri che la loro è solo una vittoria di Pirro. Per questo chiediamo a tutti di trasformare questa sconfitta, in un rinnovato impegno per l'acqua, per la vita , per la democrazia. Siamo sicuri che questo voto parlamentare sarà un "boomerang" per chi l'ha votato.
Il nostro è un appello prima di tutto ai cittadini, a ogni uomo e donna di buona volontà .Dobbiamo ripartire dal basso, dalla gente comune, dai Comuni.

Per questo chiediamo:
AI CITTADINI di
-protestare contro il decreto Ronchi , inviando e -mail ai propri parlamentari;
-creare gruppi in difesa dell'acqua localmente come a livello regionale;
-costituirsi in cooperative per la gestione della propria acqua.
AI COMUNI di
-indire consigli comunali monotematici in difesa dell’acqua;
-dichiarare l'acqua bene comune, privo di rilevanza economica;
-make the right choice PUBLIC COMPANY SPECIAL.

THE NEW LAW DOES NOT PREVENT THE TOWNS CHOOSE THE PATH OF THE TOTAL PUBLIC COMPANY SPECIAL OF MUNICIPAL so-called.


TO ATO-ATO to 64 (optimal territorial areas), now assigned to Spa in total public capital to transform itself into special agencies, managed with the participation of citizens. REGIONS-

of challenging the constitutionality of the new law as did the Puglia Region;
-pass laws on regional governance of water.

-unions to decide on the privatization of water;
-mobilize and mobilize citizens against the commodification of water.
ITALIAN BISHOPS of
-proclaim water a basic human right in the wake of the recent encyclical of Benedict XVI, which speaks of access to water as a universal right of all human beings, without distinction or discrimination "(27) ;
-protest as CEI (Italian Episcopal Conference) against the Ronchi Decree.
COMMUNITY TO 'CHRISTIAN-
to inform their faithful on the water issue;
- organize in defense of water.
parties to
- to express very clearly their position on the management of 'water-
to propose a parliamentary debate on the law of popular initiative against the privatization of water, signed by more than 400,000 citizens.

Water is blue gold of the twenty-first century. Together with the air, water is the most precious asset of humanity. We want to cry now more than ever what we yelled in many squares and theaters in this country: "The air and water are absolutely essential to the basic goods and the lives of all living beings from birth and become rights natural-untouchables are words of Archbishop Emeritus of Messina, G. Marra. The water belongs to everyone and no one can be allowed to appropriate it to derive illicit profit, and therefore requests that continue to be run exclusively by the municipalities organized into public companies, which always have a duty to ensure the distribution at the lowest cost possible.

Hands off the water!

By Decree-Law 135/09 Article 15 into law, the Government has initiated the process of privatization of water, in other words, the water is donated to individuals and in turn delivered to the interests of large multinationals to make a new business.

In recent days have increased mobilizations launched by the movements for the water so that we can promote a referendum to reject any possibility of privatization.

Water is an irreplaceable source of life for ecosystems, the availability of which depends the future of living beings.

Therefore, water is a common good of humanity, the universal common good, a common public good, therefore unavailable, which belongs to all.

Access to water, if not tackled democratically, according to the principles of fairness, justice and respect for the environment, is a root cause of tension and conflict within the community International, a real democratic emergency, and land required for authentic paths of peace both at the regional level both nationally and internationally.

I am for a public management because water is a shared, essential for life and not speculative.

rights should deserve


I find very interesting is the attitude of a vast majority of human rights activists and against the death penalty. If you notice, despite claiming to stand against the death sentences and against activities such as torture and detention in inhumane conditions, what they actually do, almost always, is to campaign for the recognition of ' innocence of the condemned.

In other words, do not say "Mumia Abu-Jamal should not be executed," but "Mumia Abu-Jamal is innocent", which is why there are activists who have tried, in his time, to suspend the sentence of Timothy McVeigh to death. No one says that the prison at Guantanamo should be closed , but that the Guantanamo detainees should essere liberati (sottinteso, in quanto innocenti). In realtà la maggioranza dei cosiddetti attivisti per i diritti civili non riescono, forse condizionati da decenni di film americani in cui i poliziotti buoni pestano solo i colpevoli e i poliziotti cattivi solo gli innocenti, a considerare che la tortura e le condizioni inumane di prigionia non vadano applicate neanche ai colpevoli.

Il risultato di questo atteggiamento è, in senso lato, la scarsa credibilità della maggior parte delle campagne che i suddetti attivisti lanciano, specie in occidente, e nello specifico episodi come quello della storia d'amore fra Moazzam Begg e Amnesty International.

Moazzam Begg è un ragazzo di Birmingham that around 16 years in the early 90s, entered into a gang, and when the police arrested him - for benefit fraud, not for activities related to the gang - was found during a search of his room material "strange": a bulletproof vest, a night vision device, fundamentalist propaganda material. All that stuff, says in court the young Moazzam, is just there because he makes "collection". The judge believes.

When arrested, the young man has already been Begg (1993) in a training camp in Afghanistan (it in his book), though poor, he believed they wanted to train to be a volunteer, a Muslim version of Peace Corps, and once arrived there seemed bad manners to leave immediately, and then it was in Bosnia during the civil war - but in this case by mistake: he wanted to be a teacher and told him that there were in Bosnia Vacancies, he did not read the papers and did not know there was a civil war.

He also tried to reach Chechnya, still to be a teacher, or the gardener, and imagine his surprise when the Georgian border guards were sent back because of the war. The poor have begun to think that the misfortune pursued him.

Eventually insh'allah, has his dream, leaving Britain in mid-2001 with the family going to grow potatoes in Afghanistan. The poor must have been absolutely desperate when after a few months what has happened has happened, and in a panic decided to leave Kabul, coincidentally on the same street and in the same convoy they were traveling with Taliban forces fleeing the capital .

short, if you end up in Guantanamo Moazzam Begg has been for bad luck, a bit 'like when my great-grandfather, in Brooklyn, finished in just because the police (and racist italianofoba) found him with a baseball bat hand near a port with both knees broken, who had just convinced him to pay the entrance fee to the union. Evidence, at best, circumstantial, eppure...

Ma vabbe'. Il problema è che Moazzam Begg doveva, effettivamente, essere tirato fuori da Guantanamo perchè quella di Guantanamo è una prigione illegale, ma questo non significa che sia innocente - esattamente come Timothy McVeigh non doveva essere giustiziato sebbene fosse innegabilmente colpevole (e, per giunta, di destra). Invece Mo, il caro ragazzo, non ha fatto a tempo a ritornare in UK, libero come l'aria, che è diventato dalla sera alla mattina una ragazza pon-pon per le associazioni pacifiste e soprattutto per Amnesty International.

Ha fondato un'associazione, Cageprisoners, che si occupa dei diritti dei prigionieri (solo se sono jihadisti, ça va sans dire ) and organizes tours and conferences sponsored by Amnesty International. Amnesty International, will be the case of notice explicitly, is sponsoring the conference of a man who defines justice of the Taliban "austere" and the only way to "bring order to Afghanistan." Why Amnesty and its activists, who are, to use a term dear to Yossarian, Ur iel, Nicholas and many others, the phony of the first water, mica is not well defended the rights of the guilty, the ro live on a high moral stand and defend only the innocent. In the end, no different from the cops Bolzaneto: for both, the rights belong to those who deserve them, the innocents - just change the definition of who is innocent.

Then it happens that a head of Amnesty, one who has studied the problems of religious fundamentalism for thirty years and is familiar with Amnesty precisely because the human rights violations perpetrated by theocratic regimes, in Afghanistan, Iran or Alabama, have the courage to send a letter to the directors of the association, asking whether it is a good idea to associate the name of Amnesty that of Moazzam Begg - the world's most famous English supporter of the Taliban, "as he called himself on occasion - not for Islamophobia, but why an organization like Amnesty International do not buy sponsored by what is in effect ultra-conservative ideology and opposing the very concept of universal human rights.

The result, as was obvious, is that a few hours after news was leaked to newspapers , the head of Amnesty has been suspended from his post and Amnesty has been careful to stress that the war continues to Germanic Afghan side dell'alleato .
