The satire and my way of doing politics in a practical way
As we already know the satire does not just make people laugh or entertain, what he does comedy. The satire has to be able to reflect, indignation and anger. Someone calls it the "laughing green that caused by the satire, like green bile. The satire hits hard when no one else dares. Since ancient times it is used to strike the powerful and their costumes are not always consistent and elegant, giving the possibility of a different view of things, not distorted or disguised, but in a different way of approaching issues. The satire is not right nor left, and the satire is for ordinary people who do not want to be continually taken in by right-thinking political and moralistic dictates from any they are part.
The satire can be a political tool? And if so, how to use it? From this theme I was lucky, a few years ago, before a candidate in municipal elections, to have an exchange of mail with a master of satire Italian: Daniele Luttazzi.
The answer is yes, satire is a tool for policy-making and the first who must know how to use the politicians themselves, so can only be described as "close to the people" or "open to new solutions."
In these years of active political satire has always helped me to turn the themes that kept coming on the political agenda and to find flaws and conflicts. The satire is essential to raise doubts. And since that the active policy requires a constant exercise of patience (the democratic times are longer than one expects) the satire, if properly used, it helps to take advantage of such a long time to examine an issue from various angles
.
Sometimes, despite the different analysis, one may be surprising to discover that your political opponent has had a practical idea better than yours. Here the satire is a lot to soothe the wounded narcissism and accept the reasoning of others. For this is a political satire, the satire in this policy must be able to enter the front door. Anyone who thinks that the satire is to stay out of theaters of politics is because he knows that through the satire used on him we would find the dog that is acting. My presence on
satirical Solidarity is therefore not a simple showcase of entertainment, but a way of doing politics by highlighting the contradictions on which the current system is based. My way of doing politics that is ready to overturn the convictions and dogmas, with assistance sharp ripping some bitter smile and try to make inroads into the minds, to rethink our world!

What Film Do I Need For A Polaroid Impulse
Truly dedicated to young people!
Here is the text of the letter that was published in the Ticino region March 10, 2011.
Cara Region
I address you with this letter here because I consider you the only daily that Ticino offers news, views and stories of small realities of our particular land.
And above all I would like to thank you for this.
I am a girl of 26 years, born and raised in Valley Blenio. For many years I have dabbled in various artistic and social fields, primarily in regard to youth activities, always in the arts-music-film. With some friends we had also founded an association that was responsible for giving space to young cinema - with passion and delight - Ticino.
We have encountered many difficulties in implementing projects that are not too large, but certainly important signals of Ticino a young person who wants "to do", "create" and especially "to believe what he does." And excuse me if I would but: this is not small thing!
signal was also especially important one, for the most part negative: the Ticino has shown quite close (and sometimes even reluctantly) in receiving various small projects. If it were not for the office young people who could pay a subsidy for the construction of a feature film, this project - among the many who had planned and were intended to involve young local artists also very smart - he would not could never be realized.
Some time ago I noted that after nearly seven years, the situation has not changed: on the contrary can be said to be worse. I refer to the news on the implementation of a music competition with attached event, organized by young people from Ticino, Ticino, and even for young people through the Department of Education and the Foundation Tamagni.
The topic: "Write a song for peace and nonviolence." Important and thick as a theme, do not you think? Yet these brave boys did not find fertile ground, especially when they had to begin to activate a search for sponsors for the organization of an important event to be held in late April.
It is a pity Ticino is proved that the person concerned and supporter of these important initiatives. We
election campaign and it comes to helping people, to improve relations between them and the authorities and to improve their daily lives. It is also much talk of security, violence, racism and intolerance. I seem to feel that they are just words on paper and thrown to the wind, to gain some consensus on the most, as if every person who boasts of these thoughts so deep he had just noticed the problem described above, would have made contact and made a spontaneous donation (though small it is). Ticino
citizens should start thinking of themselves as people very special. And above all should think this of their children.
I think that young Ticino have much to offer in many fields, from artistic to business for example. This is because the young
Ticino has lived as a child in an environment full of stimulation and challenges that could have led to develop a sensitivity and mentality as to be more attentive and open to many other situations that we might envy the Swiss cantons. If we make a comparison
fact, the general problems in Ticino are more varied than some cantons and even closer to us.
Think of the variety of cultures and ethnic minorities that we are in Ticino: may also be an issue in several respects, but may instead be a great resource for young Ticino that draws from the diversity of these and then prepares to enter into the cosmopolitan society.
Think of the unemployment problem: here we see it as a problem - and I stress that it is - but we can also look at the other side of the coin. I have seen many guys who are busy in every way to be able to make ends meet, even more work part time at the same time.
We should learn to re-evaluate our young people, giving them greater voice and greater possibilities of expression in the various sectors of society. In my opinion, in this context, the word Order is "Communication".
We have to go with young people, for young people and not for other interests.
We must listen to young people, and not just sending words that are incomprehensible to their ears.
We need to talk "with" young and not "to" young people.
We have a huge potential here in Ticino, a totally untapped potential: the willingness of young Ticino in different spheres of society.
Thanks to you too then, since you are part of this world.
