The Padded
lock

Half time

1.As with any scientific contribution, a classification of something that is categorized as a plurality of elements has a social dimension can not be eliminated. The classification, said in a nutshell, can not serve only those who made it. It is for that reason that the criteria that guide all have to be explicit and formulated in such a way that others can also apply them reaching the same result. Where these criteria are not declared and we are faced with a ready-made classification, it is up to us, therefore, go back to the policy - to share or less - in the case, change, or another giustapporgliene ensure that the classification meets the need of new purposes.
I made this obvious consideration, before the bar of Genoa Brignole station. A large sign had caught my attention. He proposed the purchase of those who were categorized as "the new sandwiches by the traveler - not a few, eight - that instead of being caught and identified only by their content - I know: rocket and goat cheese, or hamburger, tomato and lettuce - were also given a proper name. Eight proper names, however, I posed some problems, for if Columbus and Vespucci, Marco Polo and Vasco de Gama, or Ulysses and Captain Nemo could also be considered fit for purpose - they have traveled, although some more in fantasy than in reality town - the other two left me rather perplexed. The first was made or promised to be made of bread, salami and provolone, and the second on a power strip - I hope I understood metaphorically - and ham.

2. To the German chemist Emil Fischer is due, among other things, the idea that enzymes are asymmetric agents able to recognize the molecules which are or can be tied according to the geometric configuration. Appear to be responsible, therefore, a metaphor that newly minted from 1894 onwards, will have an extraordinary power persuaders in biology - that of "key" and "lock", where the enzyme plays the part of the first and the cell substrate makes the second.

3.Not long ago, in Milan, passing by the hard parts of the Cemetery I could not help but notice several posters of fresh and regularly outside of the space allowed. I learned from these events on the first two tiers of information: the first concerned the birth of a party that until now had escaped me, the New Party of Italy, and the second concerned - within certain limits - myself, instead of the slogan, In fact, instead of a proclamation or reduced in such pills it can fit into a simple manifesto, was a hybrid consisting of semiological picture - indeed, a lock - and an assertion - "You are the key."
From there you could start a long and tortuous path in the complex of representations that, in many years, I have worked for me - representations that, to be honest - inept as they are - and never had seen me in the role of key lock is but, rather than on what's explicit, I must confess that my thoughts went ahead and decided to point out an incongruity that transcended by far the case. Rather than say what, my thoughts went to what the poster failed to mention. We arrived, some time, I thought, to the point where the association between person - individual citizens - and the political party is no longer made on the basis of explicit criteria or at least explainable. The suspicion that the choice of a political party has more to do with the award for its program to a shared set of ideas is founded. Not only in parliament, I mean - where voting in this or that is the subject of free market where evidently migrating from one party to another because of the resources robbery in a personal capacity - but also in the so-called civil society, where 'individual interest, or, alas ahilui ahiloro alas, what we are led to believe that certainly has its priorities in relation to religious beliefs any more procrastination.
In this manifesto I invite you to join a new party, but - in keeping with the times (dry to say but I think must be said) - I do not no selection criterion is proposed. Get in, play the part of the key, open that door, is all that I am asked - without saying what we find behind that door, and at this point, comes the obligatory question about my or others' willingness to open this door . Obviously, if this communication was put to me - and how it was addressed to me was given to all the others - who shall think that my and others' willingness to open a door without knowing what is behind is huge. Needless to say, in my case, are wrong - I'm not going to be key to any door - but it remains the disturbing question about the availability of others. On the other side of another door - I really hope that this is another door - a while back, waiting for his keys, you have found a man named Adolph Hitler.

4. Attila, for example, that today consists of bread and salami, provolone, has earned the bread - it must be said - the memory of others more long-term weed control rather than travelers. Implicitly agree, is the fact that, to destroy its passage should go, and it's still a pass to travel. Kim, that consists of ciabatta and ham and the one developed by Kipling, remember him more for the great game of espionage in which English, poor orphan, he should spend his days to have accompanied his journey to Benares Elder Lama, at the end, will save him. While Vespucci and Vasco De Gama, in short, can easily be placed in connection with the trip - and so are others - Attila and Kim will join in the journey not without some difficulties. To succeed you must find the links not entirely obvious, investigate encyclopedia implicit in all of us, giving us an idea of their stories to two, by hook or by crook, have buckled. The semantologo sandwich traveler, in other words, resorted to a policy that, although theoretically flawless - a journey not denied to anyone, even Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Tina Pica Gimondi or could be good - not being immediately shared by potential users of the classification that results by selecting too much, or, at best, too little.

5.Besides the omission of any statement of intent, not just the name, however - "New Italy" - but also the colors of the lock - a red and a green with the white of the void where I should slip in the key assembled Italian flag - saying a lot, and, above all, enough said. For me. The name of our country, derogatory adjective itself - because new is always placed in relation to what would replace and otherwise remains rhetorical tinsel - and the colors of our flag going to be a non-free history - a history which, issuing from the machinations of patriotism and patriotism of those who speculated, until now, has never led to anything good and nothing good, notwithstanding the circumstances, can never bring in the future.
Therefore, as I have avoided all eight rolls of the passenger station of Genoa - and I preferred the hungry - so you certainly will avoid slipping into that hole, because - rimettiamola in terms of biology - a molecule in the course of my evolution, I learned to recognize what can be harmful for the body to which I belong. A rebelliousness my hope that the collective works to the advantage of immunity.

Second Half

1.There is also a flyer hanging on the gate kiosk. He has a title: "And if you really ... Dreams are wishes for happiness?". It speaks the sudden awareness of a twelve year old, who had come to "see the world with eyes who can see the difference," asks his mother "why" he should not have "equal chances" of his friends, who do not answer, he discovered that Article 3 of the Italian Constitution, that "guarantees all citizens equal social dignity" and that, ahilui, finds that, as he was concerned, that article had been violated. At this point, I wonder which player I face the unknown writer of flyer has suffered, but in the text of the leaflet, can not find it. Communications lame I always worry - often hiding something, something other than ineptitude of those who made them.
There is an addition to red, an author of another - one that, with some difficulties of grammar, he invited me to go and see what the network is concerned that Armando Siri, then, would seem to be the twelve year old in question.

2. I go there. Of Youtube films there are in abundance, while there is no trace of twelve. There is this Armando Syrians, however, described as "an entrepreneur and journalist who announces to run for mayor of Milan in order to have founded the New Party of Italy. I see it and listen. Behind that door that I'd be the key, then, is one that proposes a "virtuous Monocracy," the election of a head of state directly elected by the people - one that sums up in his person all the powers: executive, legislative and judicial - and that once elected commands until seventy-five years he played. Recalling old doors, old locks and old - tragic - keys, I was there went by. He, in fact, and blissful quiet, persuasive, says that "we should not worry the dictatorship" - old stuff - and that we must "look to the future." That was already dark enough without him.
