Il cammino di Barbara per Mediterranea: da Bologna a Lampedusa facendo l'autostop

C'è chi macina chilometri in pellegrinaggio verso Santiago de Compostela, confine Ovest d'Europa e chi, invece, s'inventa un cammino tutto suo, puntando all'altro confine, quello più a Sud, Lampedusa, per ricordare i migranti morti nel mar Mediterraneo. Barbara Cassioli, 32 anni, assistente sociale bolognese, è partita il 21 marzo, "giorno simbolo della Primavera" come sottolinea lei stessa, da Livergnano (Bo) e ha raggiunto l'isola il 2 giugno.

Un viaggio rigorosamente in autostop e senza soldi perché lo scopo è ben preciso: tutto ciò che non spende e quello che le offrono durante il tragitto lo destina mensilmente alla ong Mediterranea, tramite bonifici sulla piattaforma di crowdfunding Produzioni dal Basso e raccontando il viaggio sul suo blog. "Grazie a tutte le persone che mi hanno ospitato, pagato cene, autobus o traghetti -

Article from The Guardian: "The Super Rich: Six Things to Know "

America's super rich: six things to know Our new series, Big Money , is investigating the social and political clout of the super-rich. Natalie Jones and Alastair Gee in San Francisco, California I s America an oligarchy? That was the conclusion of a 2014 study by two prominent US political scientists , who argued that the influence of economic elites and big business far outstrips that of ordinary citizens. In their view, America is less a bastion of representative democracy than a nation trammeled by the desires of the hyper-wealthy. Others have suggested that their vision is too bleak.

Comment: I once found a bag near a shopping Mall in Paris .... It looked like a girl owned it because it was full of makeup bits and pieces and there were a lot of cards in it , one of which belonged to a buisness school and this had her name on it. The student was from Madagascar and i was sighing to myself when i called the school and the receptionist wasnt helpful in finding the person i was looking for. I went to the consolate or Embassy one morning , spending money on a Taxi in order to give the bag to a safe person working there. The consolate reminded me of consolates or embassies representing very poor countries ... .... where is all the money and wealth going ? SAMBAVA, Madagascar — Bright moonlight reflected off broad banana leaves, but it was still hard to see the blue twine laced through the undergrowth, a tripwire meant to send the unwary tumbling to the ground. “This is the way the thieves come,” sai...

mish mash (and work in progress) for a story

Immigration and The Everyman editions (starting in 1906) was one of the first books i remember in my parents library; it reminds me of "Everywoman" and Every hu"man"i have ever known. I was born from my mother who was an amazingly beautiful woman who had married for "attraction", to my father who was her first cousin. They had grown up in the same community in South India. My mother was the main personality of our family mainly because she was energetic and ambitious and rather aggressive. My father (even tho full of testosterone looks and behavior) was dominated by my mother who was probably much more energetic than him.

She made more money and didn't want to spend it. While he loved to stay at home after o...
