sinking in

the mood in my neighborhood last night was "we're next". no one seemed too preoccupied though, i had to keep explaining why i was a little sad. of course, in recent memory: the synagog bombing here, the brigate rosse, the assasination of Aldo Moro, so many judges and officials murdered by the mafia, the bologna train station... are they just accustomed to the idea of terrorism or is there a failure to empathize? i found my roommate in fetal position in front of the tv. i went out instead to find my artisan friends, had a little too much wine and made them promise to get rid of berlusconi and do something about these lega nord jerks.
in return i've offered my brother as business partner to a carpenter here. seriously, buy a ticket, Brad, you've got a job.
