Do Gasket Sealers Work

Babbi of Shit Christmas # 1


Andrea G. Pinketts divide gli uomini in due categorie:i babbi di minchia e gli uominiveri. I babbi di minchia sono quelli che tradiscono, sono quelli che si piegano alle regole che hanno ereditato. Gli uominiveri invece sono quelli che si creano le proprie regole e le rispettano anche quando costa caro o non è conveniente farlo. Sono quelli che lottano, che tengono duro, che hanno ampiamente superato l'idea del classismo e del razzismo in qualsiasi forma. Sono però even those who give a damn if it's politically correct. And so if you have a friend of the color may jokingly ask how long you do not shower or a gay friend with conguntivite if by chance recently got a bird's eye (an example is perhaps a bit 'colorful but I swear is real), the fact that they are ready to respond in the same way. Anyway, fight against everything and at any price to defend their rights. They are the ones who do not think that all women are whores except my mother and sister, who is not surprised about anything because they have an idea of \u200b\u200bwonder and amazement, those who have not foreclosed. The fathers of the fuck are the employees that you take a break for lunch the whole of the bar, come in and tell one another: a caffettino? But if an accountant can offer me. No look I do not allow, on me. Accountant on me. They feel great in offering three € coffee. Then maybe you stabbed in the back for 10 euro increase or to have covered parking in the parking business. They are the ones who live by television: it moved to tears to see the pandas would use the threat of extinction but lanciafamme against beggars at traffic lights.

Now a uomovero can dress up as Santa Claus to the delight of their children on Christmas Eve, but if a father to fuck you dressed as Father Christmas (Santa Claus is a dick for the note) then we can only expect the worst ....

It was a workday like any other. As were all those of the least since he had decided to take the field. And like all day that day started early, meeting up meetings with the closest co-workers all day but then came back a little 'home earlier than usual to get ready in time for Christmas dinner.

was the first Christmas without the wife who left him without regret. In general it was she who took care of everything. But even without her he wanted everything perfect even if it were still possible, even better. He had all his children as guests, and all her grandchildren and this year he would have taken amazing.

was a few days ago that the idea had become his obsession. Of course it was not easy to convince his bodyguards to leave him to do but what the heck was he who commanded at the end! And things were going as he had decided.

The idea was simple: he would dressed as Santa Claus, would go up on the roof of his house and illuminated by powerful lights would go down by a ladder with a bag of gifts over his shoulder, on the terrace overlooking the living room where immennso towered a mighty fine Christmas tree decorated and brightly lit. The grandchildren of glass glued to the doors of the hall would assistitoa entire hoax. After the descent, he made his grand entrance in front of his grandchildren appalled. Of course, this had cost him more than a few euro: the Santa costume made by his tailor to make custom of trust, alone had cost more than was humanly possible to imagine ... not to mention the pressures he had done on Bubble and host of his television, to convince him to sing some Christmas song live as he descended the ladder. But that ungrateful he had not wanted to know. Maybe it would be for next year. It was not one that he gave up easily!

And so over dinner had been away with the excuse of having to make important business calls (sorry he used often and it always seemed to work). It was changed, wore the red suit and fake beard in vicuna and the sack of gifts over his shoulder, accompanied by his inseparable bodyguard Johnny Tembo had gone in the attic. He had waited in control of Jhonny that there were no hazards on the roof of some sort and then when they had given the green light was hoisted on the roof of the villa through a convenient skylight located about half of the roof. Now he had only to reach the edge of the roof where the top of the waiting ladder bright as day and make his triumphant descent. Johnny Tembo had insisted until the last minute to accompany him on this trip but did not want to listen to reason. It was not an old man who needed the carer, and then if there was something that just could not stand was that someone would steal the scene.

soon climbed on the roof of the cold air Night had lashed his face numb from the warmth of the interior of the villa. That did not bother him at all, far from that served to awaken from its torpor and drowsiness more frequently caught him after dinner and beyond. Even during the dinner he had become aware of esersi dozed off but none of his guests if they had realized or at least he pretended not to see. But he had moved his first steps, a thick piogerellina began to get annoying. There and then it does not bother him that much but then the greasepaint calargli eyes began to have blurred vision. And before dinner because it had recorded a TV interview and had not had time in tissues. Although actually a little 'background color kept him always to cover the signs of age that not even all the cosmetic procedures that had undergone had been able to completely hide. And what's more even the surface of the roof had become slimy and slippery with the rain and walk with those shoes with the rise (the height of the breastplate was not exactly a complex that had never been able to take off) is not facilitated by sure. Perhaps the fact vrebbe megio to be accompanied by Johnny ... That's what he was thinking when a sudden electrical blackout precipitated the roof in the darkness. But then when the view gradually became accustomed to the darkness, the top of the scale, at the edge of the roof, appareve visible again the faint moonlight.

path had already more than halfway, another ten paces and would attain the scale. We could do the. Of course had to be careful not to slip ... Meanwhile Johnny Tembo concerned about the situation that had arisen was urging him to go back. But he was not the type to back down, never had done in his life and even this time was no exception. Move other two unsteady steps in the direction of the ladder and clinging to a chimney apresstava covering the last short distance that separated him from the ladder, when the moon was obscured by a thick cloud. And with the moon shots even that glimmer of light shone feebly in his footsteps.

But this would not be enough to stop him! A few more steps and it would come, the EC could do more as we had done in life. Although there was always someone in life who had helped him, maybe paid handsomely, but there was always someone. But now he felt terribly alone ... That asshole Johnny Tembo should have prevented him doing that ... mattana but now had to focus on: yet another three steps and there should have been the scale.

In reality, the steps that should have had only two: that's what she thought as she fell on deaf ears.

When he touched the floor of the terrace after a flight of about seven meters, the thing that struck him was the noise like branches that are broken. But it should not have done anything serious because he did not feel any pain. Now he would take a deep breath and then he would get up. Because he was one who always get up. Every time I took it for fall, he was always raised and it did so again this time.

But this time he felt strange, tired, drained. Where he was feeling well, so lying on the ground staring at the sky that had come to be stars. The voices of the people who now realize bustle around him he could hear distant, muffled.

The image of Santa Claus that move across the sky on his sleigh pulled by reindeer was the ul tima thing they saw before his eyes.

Emachines T3124 Especifications

SEPOACSANEPMV

(Sistema Elettorale Plurininominale Ostracizzante all’Ateniese (1) con Sbarramento al NANO (2) e Premio di Maggioranza Variabile)

(1) del V secolo a.C.

(2) Non eletto in quanto Avente Numero Ostracizzante di voti.

In questi giorni si fa molto parlare di legge elettorale. L’attuale, la legge Calderoli (quella denominata porcellum per intenderci), sembra non piacere quasi più a nessuno: né a chi l’ha or written opposition or to the same coalition with the law won the 2008 election. The problem is that none or almost want to vote with this law, all they want change, but each has a different idea of \u200b\u200bhow the new law should be. Given that each of his opinion, even I, in my small, I give my personal contribution.

Speaking of the election law should be able to rise above those who have interests aside and look at what are the interests of the country. We should choose a formula that election rather than another, not so much by the benefits this can bring to the political faction membership but in terms of security which it can give in terms of voter representation and defense of democracy in the country. In the sentence you just read there are a number of concepts that are worth further before going forward in the description of my proposal for a magnificent electoral law.

Let's see: the fact that we are talking about voting, and here I add free, implies that relate to a democratic system (the totalitarian systems in general tend to avoid the elections and if they are not free but are still held only pro-forma). Now that democracy means government by the people etymologically speaking, is not it just that perfect form of government you normally do want to believe. Tyranny, for example, but only if I (and I say, just me and nobody else) I was a tyrant, would be a much better form of government! But I fear that would tend inevitably to conflict with the concept that each of us has to tyranny and would not be prosecuted so peacefully .... And then democracy is an inherently flawed concept that brings inherent in itself an awkward paradox. It is sufficient that the majority of people both in favor of a government anti-democratic because democracy would cease to exist by its very nature can not oppose the will of the majority without falling into a contradictory negation of itself. And here the emergence of other problems inherent in a form di governo democratico. Il primo che appare subito evidente nel paradosso di cui prima, è legato al fatto che tutti i voti hanno uguale peso e valore: pensare che il voto, che so io, di Umberto Eco valga quanto quello dell’ultimo dei tronisti della De Filippi fa oggettivamente accapponare la pelle. Ciò unito al fatto che la democrazia è pericolosamente in balia dell’emotività del popolo, per sua natura facilmente suggestionabile, porta a quegli eccessi di potere decisionale del popolo stesso che portano alle conseguenze antidemoicratiche del paradosso o per citare un esempio eclatante, alla crocifissione di Cristo e alla liberazione di Barabba.

Sul primo punto cioè sul fatto che tutti i voti hanno lo same value regardless of competence or incompetence of those who expressed them, you can not do anything, any attempt to give a different weight to the vote on the basis of culture, wealth or age easily pave the way for forms of discrimination not be tolerated in a modern and civilized country.

On the problem of the emotions of the people and the demagogic and populist tendencies that democracy can take much can be done, certainly much more than they do today. Let's say something more about it. Democracy is the power of the people but what people are talking about? Of the sovereign people or the people ox? And what are the differences?

I would say that is what the sovereign people informed and conscious choosing, if the electoral law so permits (but now not so), its representatives in parliament. But it is also what we choose not to vote because there is no political means of expression and not for this one should have fewer rights.

While the beef is what people are carried away by false promises and rhetoric of unscrupulous demagogues wisely leverage irrational feelings of fear and hatred of political opponents and minorities are often used in the role of scapegoat for problems that are unable to solve. The people ox is quello che cede alle lusinghe di moderni despoti che parlando alle pance dei sudditi promettono “panem et circenses” (oggi potremmo dire “magnum fratem”) sfruttando il potere mediatico di cui dispongono. Il popolo bue è quello che ha subito il rapporto diretto, risultandone poi manipolato, di leader quali Hitler, Mussolini e Péron.

Scusate la retorica alla Nichi Vendola ma mi è scappata…

Le moderne democrazie dovrebbero evitare le facili manipolazioni del popolo, dotandosi di organi di controllo (le authority di cui si parla tanto) che indipendenti dal potere politico impediscano il verificarsi di questi fenomeni e di un giornalismo libero (si pensi high risks for democracy that may arise from control of the policy or of the strong powers of what is known as the fourth power) that exposes the false, damaging and defamatory state political leaders.

Let's face now, however, for the avoidance of doubt, though deeply flawed democracy is the lesser of two evils can succeed and we need to keep close and defend it against those who want to attack it, the demagoguery and the people and the totalitarian tendencies that may result .

start talking rapprentatività also must ensure that the electoral law. In my opinion, should ensure representation of those who vote but also those who do not vote for this and do not have less rights. Let me explain with an example. At the last elections, which had a turnout of 77%, the PDL has been collecting about 38% of the vote. Now 38% to 77% is about 29% even on an Italian three. Here I think the fact that you have the consent of an Italian in three does not justify the fact that you have the country as you want just because you have a relative majority of votes.

It 'clear that enough is enough and should be a relative majority to govern but to change the institutions and laws which are the cornerstone of democracy and protection should be raprresentanza of an absolute majority of Italians. A little 'as in the Monthly Meeting to decide where maintenance work is necessary to have the most extraordinary vintages and not just a majority vote of those present meeting.

Established an electoral law that would ensure we come to my wonderful proposal.

How can mitigate risks that may result from abuses of democracy and populist demagoguery? Sometimes it makes sense looking back to look forward. And in fact in the history of ancient Greece and more precisely in fifth century BC, this was the institution of ostracism that seems to be the answer to the question before. Ostracism was a mechanism by which you voted, recording the name on pieces of earthenware, those individuals who thought they could represent a potential danger to democracy. Who obtained a simple majority of votes was punished with a ten-year exile even though he had done nothing criminally prosecuted. It is sufficient for the chance to become tyrants in order to be potential ostarcizzati and then exiled.

the modern day stigma as it was practiced in Athens, it is objectively difficult to implement if only because of the lack of debris and not least because of the difficulty to put them in a ballot box ...

So I thought to release revised dell'ostracisno. During the vote in the ballot you can express a preference (ie, indicate that the person I want to be elected in the constituency of ownership among those indicated in the party list) and at the same time also a negative vote "ostracizzante" (ie you can specify that person who does not want to be elected because I think it might be a danger to democracy or otherwise for the country in general). Can be expressed clearly just voting against. In this way you can give a voice to those people who do not vote because they feel that there is no party or candidate to represent them but that they would know very well who would never want to govern them.

Clearly it would vote against a vote that should hit the individual candidate and not party affiliation. The vote that otherwise would be reduced by the amount of votes received by candidates ostracized but not to punish the party's vote, however, should be given on the listing of the candidate redistributed among the other members of the list in proportion to the votes received by each. This is positive as long as the votes for each candidate received outweigh the negative. If the negative votes of a candidate exceed the benefits the surplus between the positive and negative votes should not be reassigned to the list but permanently lost. This is to penalize those lists che presentassero rappresentanti “impresentabili”. Chiaro no?

Il sistema da me ideato prevedrebbe collegi plurinominali, per garantire una certa proporzionalità e rappresentatività dei partiti minori, ed il turno unico per risparmiare sulle spese elettorali.

Per garantire una maggiore governabilità si garantirà un premio di maggioranza che avrà un tetto massimo, diciamo del 15%, ma che non sarà fisso ma attribuito in proporzione ai voti positivi ottenuti da tutti i rappresentanti della lista sul totale dei voti di lista (positivi + negativi).

Cioè se per esempio, la lista che ha ottenuto il maggior numero di voti has recorded 70 positive votes but 30 negative (ie a 70% positive votes) asseganto you will see a majority of the premium will be only 70% of the maximum 15% premium. This in the aim to persuade the parties not to submit the "monsters" in the elections

Yeah I know: that system is not wonderful that I promised you but it seems to me anyway, after all, a rather imperfect and complicated electoral system they can be easily applied in our country ...
