Hursthouse, R., “virtue Theory And Abortion

Jump into the void (s)

Until now, the gap opened up before us as a large pit on the tv screen - and as such, we just look inside - now VISION is realized, the screen disappears, the vacuum engulfs us. E 'is the real leap of faith. Not much to say. The

Civil empty lines: the total lack of civilization in a country that was once counted among the civilized countries. And now, thanks to the choices of his government, no longer shows a modicum of civility, but only the hatred of a state punitive damages and "bad" (Maroni), which operates the manipulation of fear and its transformation into pure good politician, and professes indifference to the universality of rights - see the new law against illegal immigration.

Vacuum expressive in the sense of denial of freedom of expression and information and then justice (yes, yes, both, and both together, and now I also write why). The degree of democratic emergencies too often is inversely proportional to the degree of control exercised by the power on information. Since only free media (once would have said "free press") can ensure transparency and fairness of action of the government to the citizens, the interface between the Government and the people that least lends itself to deception and theaters because, if free and independent, is not allied with anyone. Or rather, has teamed up exclusively of "fair justice" (Giovanni Valentini). Justice which is cornerstone of democracy. If it undermines justice, democracy falls - hence the emergence of democracy.

Excursus: Well, Justice, you know, is based on legal certainty. Which in turn is based on the timeliness of the proceedings (and on the certainty of punishment). This depends unavoidably equality between the prosecution and the law. And what better way (if not only way) to guarantee this equality, if not the continuing separation of the functions of the judiciary (judges and investigators) at all levels of justice? Homework: draw conclusions after observing the actions of the government. BACKGROUND TO END

But in Italy we do not care about this, well-being of democracy, but the whims of the Knight. And so has passed a law on wiretapping that pretends to protect the privacy of citizens and instead lashes out against newspapers and journalists. And thus shrink more and more freedom of expression when it prohibited to publish news about the ongoing criminal process. And so it encourages and promotes censorship, prior, when the extended liability of the publisher forced him to look away constantly face the risk of heavy fines. ... And so on.
But the docile majority does not move, does not react to the imposition of the fine and good government, which cancels the record and shows contempt for the citizen's right to information: nothing, not a crease.
There 's other: as already mentioned, the new law, public opinion will no longer have the constitutionally enshrined right to know the legal situation in real time (or not) of the characters who ask the trust to govern the country and it is true that the new law attacking an entire profession, forcing her to ethical path very similar to a hurdle race. But it is Berlusconi's smile to face the choice of punishment for those trips for those who fall, the law that makes a real stab in the country, first a journalist could have decided to challenge the law in the name of the highest ethics , at the same time being ready to face the consequences. Even that Berlusconi was ready to concede:

If you send them to jail, I do the heroes of press freedom and maybe they worked for the newspaper sells more, and this would be a humiliation. The jail is useless. (Silvio Berlusconi, LaRepubblica , February 13, 2009)

said than done: making responsibility almost exclusively in the hands of the publisher of the conflict does not involve more stakeholders (editorial, reader, judicial authorities) is instead passed on, the red line moves down the newspaper and brings face to face editing and publishing properties. And here's the new, pestilence and destructive conflicts of interest which will fall in the Italian press: the property will be to intervene in the editorial work, nothing less than requested by law. They push the publisher, according to the law, "to adopt measures to promote the progress of journalism in law enforcement, and to discover and eliminate delay risk situations. "
Ban on record, then. Control of the publisher. Year suspension and conviction of editors and journalists. Total darkness regard to actions, people and devices that govern our lives.

Vacuum democratic in the sense that the triumphal march of the new government is none other than the requiem of the parliament. The parliament, the unknown, apparently. Why should not suffice for the Senate? It would be like asking why science does not proceed only in theory, eliminating the experimental tests, or because a pianist needs to train their fingers on the instrument itself to learn to play. Because, as degenerate and tortuous, the Parliament was still vital: this is the place where Democracy feeds on the ongoing dialogue between the electorate and local identities in the intervals between elections and the next. the place where democracy is realized and theoretical virtual lives. The response of Berlusconi's institutional emptying through the narrowing, of course, the forums (think of the many threats to the government decree, the passage of the endowment only unanimous election to a base). The teledemocracy therefore penetrate in Parliament, making it anonymous, leaner (let's say stunted), obsequious, perfectly useless.

semantic emptiness: that of political significance, which is rampant in the language of this area (could not miss this void in my comments, professional bias;) You would think that with a master the Master of Communication at the helm, policy would certainly have learned to appreciate and enjoy the nuances and the richness of the Italian language. Blessed Innocent illusion. Today politicians speak a simple language, I would say almost make, which is the theme songs, memorized and repeated continuously, until exhaustion and consequent emergence of a new password. They all say the same things, in the same tone, with the same expressions, when it comes to talking political jargon. A cross-sectional level. A thinning semantic and lexical unparalleled. Even the search of the metaphor from paroxysmal to rise to slogans rather than enrich the vocabulary, it lacks the foundation on which it rests, the expressions true and appropriate, but they will be avoided. As if the reality, the truth without sensationalism and approval were to be forced to shun any cost. As in a format.
