Why not comment? After all, this is a country where freedom of speech and the press still reign. And if I want to say that Craxi was the first thief officially exposed by someone who now sits in Parliament (in direct conflict with the term "consistency") and makes a lot of noise over nothing, taking public money and hiding his own skeletons in the closet... I say it, and fuck off! What is Di Pietro, a hero? A martyr? A savior of the Republic? He destroyed a government made up, yes, of some (many?) people of dubious morals, but who in the eyes of the world had much more credibility and political weight than these four lifeless puppets serving a single big boss, in service to someone surely higher than him, but who operates in the shadows. Craxi increased the public debt to an unsustainable level? So what? Is there any difference between our days and those past? Have the successive governments reduced it? Have they patched it up? If a mistake is made, can't it be fixed afterward? Craxi didn’t make a smart move fleeing to Hammamet; he thus confirmed his guilt in the eyes of the world. He could have very well stayed, considering what came afterward: d'Alema, Rutelli, Fini, Bossi, and Berlusconi (who, if you allow me, is a million times worse than Craxi when it comes to tricks and thefts; it seems that the biggest scandal, namely the Enimont bribe, amounted to 150,000,000,000 old lire, or am I wrong? Peanuts if you think about the slush funds and everything surrounding the Knight, just 1500 billion in various offshore accounts). Who is going to dislodge Andreotti? He’s still around, right? Mastella was around until just yesterday... Pomicino? Still hanging around... They all stole, without exception, and they continue to do so, doubly, triply today; only now they no longer have the decency to hide it. The problem is that it’s hard to find honest people; opportunity makes a thief... If you find a 42" flat-screen TV left unattended by someone outside Media.... what do you do? Do you wait a minute nearby to make sure no one shows up, and then load it into your car, or do you take it back to the store as a lost item? Just imagine when dealing with billions upon billions. I challenge anyone to say, "No, keep it!" The political mechanisms, the illicit connections, and everything else are such complex things that it's easy to judge from the outside, but once you’re inside the great machine, if morality isn't 100% on the right path, you get tangled up and ride the wave while it lasts. What exists today started with the destruction of the First Republic, and I don’t think it has, in the end, been quite a good thing. To get rid of a handful of thieves, but nevertheless with a certain credibility, to acquire a thousand loudmouths with an usefulness equal to an electric blanket at two in the afternoon in the middle of the desert... Thanks, Anto’, free us from all evils... And now, let’s move on with the shovels of m...
