Well, here we are. Less than 24 hours to know the result. Of course most of the discussions now concentrate on the elections. But not for the powerful Mexican Pandemiro of the table. He prefers to know who will win 'between Juventus and Real Madrid. I asked him if he went to vote, and he responded with the candor that only a Mexican immigrant for 20 years could express, "Do not change anything. When I arrived and I started working There was Bush senior, and I worked 10 hours a day. And then 'Clinton arrived, but the hours have been 10. Then the latter. Always 10 hours. My vote for one or other will not change 'my life. "The most' daunting 'that Pandemiro partly right: his vote would not matter so great', but for a different reason. Pandemiro and 'inscribed on vote in New York. In this state, along with many others, the vote does not count much because of the electoral system. You probably already know ', but the American election system works well': voters express a preference for a presidential candidate, but their vote actually 'do not directly elect the president. Every state generates a number of so-called "degrees voters" (and What are others: children's voters? mah), which should come together and vote to elect the president. The electors are "obliged" to vote for the candidate chosen by the majority in their state. So the votes around the country do not have the same weight: one vote in a so-called "swing state" (eg, sadly, in 2000, famous Florida), that 'where there' s a strong dominance of one of two parties, has a much more 'than in another state (such as New York, where a strong majority vote democratic, oh yes)' cause could tip the balance of the state, and therefore all its "grand electors" on one side or the other.
Needless to say, this system and 'just a hair undemocratic.
Anyways, 'I tried to convince Pandemiro that different candidates have different influences on his life with the argument Social security (the system on which pensions are based, etc.), to which he replied with a elequente: "Social Security? Basura !!!". And now 'I was thinking I should start to create me a private pension fund, like all those of my generation, both in states that in Italy. Who do we thank for this situation? There are several factors, but I am quite pleased to note that such eminent Italian disaster Gelli, Andreotti Dell'Utri and find space and rehabilitation (as we are in full revisionism even recent history, well here's' the claim that W. will 're-evaluated by history as a good president, not just the Berlusca) on TV. In Trent we Malone. Who has more '?
Small notes of hope. I recently reviewed the piece for the Republican primary debate with Ron Paul against Giuliani. For those who do not know what I'm talking about Ron Paul (and that ' libertarian, but in the Anglo-Saxon, watch out!) Has publicly said that the war in Iraq must end now with the withdrawal of American troops, that 11 September is not 'been caused by envy of the world's rich and poor free American, but rather' hatred generated by decades of invasion and American meddling in the Middle East in general and around the world. In short, a Republican candidate for U.S. (and not a European Bolshevik!) That says these things I think would go good humor to everyone.
brackets here are so many 'learned that there is virtually no' distinction between communism and socialism, and "socialist" is used as an insult to a politician, who immediately tries to disassociate in every way! and this after a superliberomercatissimo bailout 700 billion dollars! hahaha they make me burst with laughter 'sti americans.
In any case, this evening I'll be 'in the pub of the I-House, along with many other citizens of the world, anxiously waiting to find out who will be' our new president. I think my T-shirt today has written a significant ...
PS: Beppe Severgnini has a slogan santommasiano recently: "Until 'I do not see, do not believe it." I've got another one: "If I see him, I ask for citizenship." As if it were up to me ... hahahah!
