I confess to not feel sympathy for any one trader estimated that from time to time, peeps on TV to advertise its insurance company with an adjacent bank. It's a matter of skin. I think not to be his sympathetic, either. I get the impression that you look at me differently than all other viewers. The trouble is that often think out loud, my wife hears me, watching me for some time and drew up his diagnosis: it is a principle of madness.
may be right.
In this dialogue over the air, the other day Mr. Mediolanum gave me a lesson. He said ( told me, looking mockingly) that anyone who opens an account in his bank, will contribute to helping a family in Haiti (as well as, of course, their own). It made me stay stone; noticed it too: eventually even smile, the bully.
Mr. Mediolanum is proud. He has good reason, is doing a good deed. But it is equally true that helping a family in Haiti contains a significant element of hypocrisy.
In today's capitalism, the tendency is to mix - dangerously - profit and charity. That's what we call cultural capital.

40 years ago we dreamed of socialism with a human face. Today, the horizon of our imagination is more welcoming global capitalism more human face, the rules are the same, but we make it more tolerant, more sympathetic , with a little 'more than welfare.
In Western Europe, never in recent decades, it has enjoyed so much wealth and freedom. Now these riches are called into question. It is a point of no return: we must do more for the other tenants of the World, those who are worse off than us.
is obvious that we must help the children: it is inconceivable that their lives can be destroyed because parents do not have the $ 20 needed for an ordinary surgical operation. But if we only help a few children of Haiti, their, yes, they will live a bit 'better, but will find themselves in the same situation.
do not know why, but Mr. Mediolanum, it seems to me that do not look at me with contempt. But perhaps
