What Happened To Free Ones

DEVICES AND ABANDONED THE METROPOLIS OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHTS Bruno Marchi

" the Republic" of 13 January 2005

In these days filled by sales, from the ball and the political theater of a little girl died of starvation in the degradation

"The king is naked!" Said the boy mom and everyone laughed at the emperor.

"The emperor has no clothes!" Would be repeated today, but there is nothing to laugh about.

Already, the dramatic story of the little girl died of starvation in one of the many suburbs of the world, this time located in Bari, forces, in the dim light of our civic consciousness, a bitter reflection and truer than ever: degradation is visible to everyone, not far from the windows of the center and the Christmas decorations, carnival masks from prematurely substitutes, thus producing horrible cultural and aesthetic effect. We all know the state of abandonment of the suburbs, from which daily, like moths, migrate toward the center of crowds of teenagers, attracted by the "city lights" and wear imitations of clothes or shoes or sunglasses. Dimly perceive that all that stuff is fake should approval consumption and, simultaneously, frustration at the realization that it is increasingly difficult to manage. But, despite this awareness of our bland,'re stuck dall'omertoso silence, indeed, faced with poverty and unemployment, in front of children abused and mistreated, in front to juvenile delinquency and addiction, in front of deviance and mental illness, increases in intensity. A dead silence and deafening, in these days filled with balances and "recovery in consumption" and at other times occupied by the balloon or the theater of politics "door to door" oppresses us.

Meanwhile, accumulate records, civil and criminal, at the Juvenile Courts, so we need to wait, often, months for a decision that might no longer needed when it comes to anything, having missed the "right time". Meanwhile, the Financial recent years have steadily eroded to the bone, expenditure on social services, reducing the appropriations to the prevention and treatment of discomfort and preventing recruitment of social workers, educators and psychologists. Meanwhile, the university student gasps professionals who have some job opportunities. Meanwhile, in the region has run wasted time, years, for the preparation of a laughable level of social policies, as now he is mulling the dismissal of implementing regulations by the competent committee. Meanwhile, finally, the towns are little more than a year zero in the formulation of the Area Plans which all seem to attribute miraculous virtues but, if they are not supported by significant personal and professional skills, as well as political and cultural may very well against the social tsunami that is sweeping.

What used to cry on? Who is helpful stumble? Perhaps the newspapers and televisions, so that increase sales and listening, perhaps those who are not insiders. But to others, professionals and citizens in distress, that is, to whom "there is in the middle, there is little to say except:" The emperor has no clothes. "
