his name is Cosmo Manfreda, and is a hero. Today is June 10, 2010. Today, in Italy, in our small, xenophobic, racist, obnoxious, vain, and drowsily bulimic Italy at many things have happened. So much has happened in our beautiful, green, intelligent, hardworking, loved Italy.
Today we celebrate the anniversary of the war, proclaimed wretch of a man who wanted to be too little too large, that those who guide us today in a ridiculous, scaled photocopy. Unfortunate ode to the coming of the new world, a desire for places in the sun so much sorrow brought upon the Italian. Italy to wives, mothers and daughters who have been crying. Today is the feast of the sailors in their white uniforms who march under the sun, lion, and greet the President standing next to Communist Fascist Minister. President signing, signature, signature laws and sneaky and Leggett, like the one just passed today, June 10, 2010, anniversary of the war, World War II. The law passed today that both smells of decades, which we just hope for the future, thanks to the law which many writers, journalists, intellectuals (all better than your humble Rabbit, all the most reliable and most talented of your humble Rabbit ) can no longer work. Can no longer write. Will risk going to jail if they talk about uncomfortable things, things that do not like the little heir of the little man who thinks he's a great contemporary Napoleon. Who believes he can do and say whatever he wants.
Today, many things have happened in Italy, there would have to tell so many other, mothers nurse who kidnap the children of other women, women raped and killed, priests reported that they will pay, hopefully, their punishment in hell, or so we promised the Mother Church. But today, one for all must be remembered: the name is Cosimo Manfreda, a worker died while doing his work, at Brindisi, in the explosion of a tank, while doing his job. Humble, noble, difficult. Decent work. Work as a hero. Cosmo joins the many, many others who lose their lives every year, every month, every week in Italy.
disgrace. Fatalities. Accident. More or less serious faults, the valley to look for now. Jump to investigate. Tell that to the family of Cosimo who is to blame. Tell that to Cosimo that it was an accident.
"That's Life" Kurt Vonnegut would say .
Cosimo Manfreda is dead, long live Cosimo Manfreda says Rabbit.
But then, tomorrow we already forgotten about him, from tomorrow for a few weeks will be other problems, and then the dead white of Cosimo and his companions in misfortune are sidelined, while we return, we Italians, wonder if Andrea Pirlo recover in time, and why Lippi has also led to Francesco Totti world, and if indeed the Azzurri will fare this year.
Rabbit not know you, Cosmo. Rabbit even knew who you were until now. Rabbit greets you, Cosmo, and you your family. See you on the other side.
