You gotta fight, for your right...

[kandrathe]

The 'reason' nothing changes is that corruption and organized crime are interwoven with the government.....MPs are all rich people with very shady backgrounds (except for a few maybe). Berlusconi is the big example for Italians that have to fight for themselves and see that it is good to steal, lie, and have mafia-contacts (but he is not the only one).

Ah, well, hence my reference to Francisco's speech. When force rather than commerce is the medium of transferring wealth, then criminals and politicians become one and the same. It really doesn't matter that your money is robbed by an unjust law, or at the point of a gun. You are still poorer. Nor, that you die by starvation, or by being killed for your shoes. You are still dead.
