I remember it perfectly. Appeared in the middle of the game of billiards. He moved with movements along the water table. For us it was a kind of idol, given his background in the world of professional football. But rarely talked about football. His favorite subject was politics. Or rather the non-political: he was an anarchist. He came from Carrara, a land of marble workers and rebels. He followed with his eyes the billiard ball, meanwhile, threw darts terrible against the Church, priests, nuns and Vatican.
In its own way was a believer, at least he was respectful of the Supreme Being. Just could not stand the Vatican. Every little mishap that hampered the peaceful things happen to him was the work of the Church. Earthquakes, floods, UFO sightings, malfunctioning appliances, penalties not given, but clear: the work of the provosts scattered throughout the world. After prophesied (and a crop fair number of followers) came out, disappearing for days in the fog.
Achilles had done so.
If I had the pleasure to meet, I'm sure, Achille point the finger straight against its vileness. More or less is what is happening these days in Italy. Berlusconi has been accused of everything, lacking only the abigeato call (but I think it's a matter of days).
In Italy there are millions of Achilles, the most unexpected recesses in the crevices. They wait for the reviews, certain of his guilt, as they were at least a few hours before, his legendary preparation business. Having always doubted his magnified entrepreneurship (which I always seemed cynical opportunism of a mediocre singer, a piano bar), I feel entitled to not even be certain of his guilt. That is, however, business of the courts.
bothers me, however, the ease with which millions of citizens have failed to judge in its own sphere - that is political - flooding votes for almost two decades, this wily lobbyists, and then rely on justice the hands of another power, or judicial branches.
Too easy, gentlemen, to ask the others what that we have not been able to do, but failed to power. I am proudly a part of that group of Italians (alas, a small part) that does not need to root for the judiciary to make sure that Berlusconi is politically guilty - surely the most heinous offender - the Italian disaster.
processes I'm not passionate about.
appeals most to me many years ago, the speeches of Achilles ...
