What Do All The Colours Of The Shag Bands

Game Over Congratulations, you did it.

"Il great enemy of truth is very often not the lie: deliberate, crafted and dishonest - as the myth: persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of the opinion without the discomfort of thought. "
JF Kennedy

Not enough delusions of conspiracy - tutt'alpiù good for a textbook of psychiatry, if it were not the usual" Amerikan "- o those who, based on what is called "moral equivalence", they end up charging the U.S. itself to blame for what is - beyond a reasonable doubt - a tragedy caused by atrocities.
As I said last year, grotesque clowns who have made billions making films, writing books, giving interviews. We also wanted
other clowns - mostly men - who exploit the tragedy for their own purposes.
We have seen our clergy, our devout atheists and secular kneeling, leverage the supposed clash of civilizations dismally for electoral purposes and - ultimately - compress those liberties that are the symbol and the engine of civilization. The real one.
The novelty, if we want to call it, this is the anniversary of the province pretuncolo that threatens to burn Korans, the question of the mosque at ground zero and the usual hordes of fanatics who burn American flags - something that has now become the regular ritual appetizer.

In this bedlam speeches, interviews, films, critical references to "other" September 11, burned flags and books we have forgotten anyone and anything. Someone and something that has remained in the background, drowned annebbbiato almost disappeared.

The tragedy, the victims.
remember the shock, the sense of impotence, yet remain transfixed in front of those pictures, when you hear the latest recordings of phone calls, the faces, the shadows of people smeared and debris that move like ghosts through the cloud of dust .. .
These are things that only we, a few sentimental still remember, for others there is only the cacophony of chatter.

Congratulations, you did it. The myth ha vinto.

Kannuzo: "Hi, Anthony, how are you?"
Anthony: "Good."
Kannuzo: "A terrible thing happened, Anthony. Some very sick people."
Anthony: "Are they dead?"
Kannuzo: "Yeah."
Anthony: "So how many people got... [inaudible] are dead?"
Kannuzo: "Thousands, Anthony, thousands."
Anthony: "Daddy? What will happen...?"
Kannuzo: "Will you do me a favour, Anthony? Daddy's not home, so you are the big man in the house. So you help Mommy and keep her happy, okay?"
