 Interessante, no?
Ho provato a tradurlo ma vien fuori una roba senza senso.
Ciao! 

Vogliono fare spettacolo dell'ennesima tragedia. Dare fotocamere a chi
tenta di passare illegalmente il confine Americano dal Messico, e anche
ai volontari che cercano di impedirlo.
Poi stamperanno le foto migliori, le esporranno in una mostra e ci
faranno dei soldi, magari con una foglia di fico (denuncia, parte degli
incassi devoluti a.. ecc ecc). 
Questa e' l'"Arte Moderna"

 Questa e' l'"Arte Moderna"
Beh, "lassamo perdè" che sotto 'sto termine ci va
un sacco di spazzatura ed iniziative discutibili.
Ciao! 


#_Finalmente qualcosa di buono dalle iniziative private.
BTW, in qualche modo, anche se me togliessero i miei cinque passaporti, io
in Italia ci arrivo lo stesso, anche se dovessi passa' per Lampedusa.

Rosa Parks, civil rights heroine, is dead
Monday, October 24, 2005

FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER
When Rosa Parks refused to get up, an entire race of people began to
stand up for their rights as human beings.
It was a simple act that took extraordinary courage in Montgomery,
Ala., in 1955. It was a place where black people had no rights white
people had to respect. It was a time when racial discrimination was so
common, many blacks never questioned it.
At least not out loud.
But then came Rosa Parks.
This mild-mannered black woman refused to give up her seat on a city
bus so a white man could sit down.
Jim Crow laws had met their match.
Parks' refusal infused 50,000 blacks in Montgomery with the will to
walk rather than risk daily humiliation on the city's buses.
This gentle giant, whose quietness belied her toughness, became the
catalyst for a movement that broke the back of legalized segregation in
the United States, gave rise to the astounding leadership of Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., and inspired fighters for freedom and justice
throughout the world.
Parks, the beloved mother of the civil rights movement, is dead, a
family member confirmed late Monday.
But already it's evident that her spirit lives in hundreds of thousands
of people inspired by her unwavering commitment to work for a better
world - a commitment that continued even after age and failing health
slowed her in the 1990s.
In death as in life, she touched the well known and the little known
people of the world.
'Freedom is for all human beings'
Parks' health had been declining since the late 1990s. She had stopped
giving interviews by then and rarely appeared in public. When she did,
she only smiled or spoke short, barely audible responses.
In one of her last lengthy interviews with the Detroit Free Press in
1995, she spoke of what she would like people to say about her after
she passed away.
"I'd like people to say I'm a person who always wanted to be free and
wanted it not only for myself; freedom is for all human beings," she
said during an interview from the pastor's study of St. Matthew African
Methodist Episcopal Church, a small congregation she joined upon moving
to Detroit in 1957.
While it's known worldwide that her refusal to give up her bus seat
sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, it's less well known that Parks had
a long history of trying to make life better for black people.
It was a desire embedded in her from childhood by her grandfather - her
mother's father with whom she lived when she was growing up. He taught
his children and grandchildren not to put up with mistreatment. "It was
passed down almost in our genes," Parks wrote in her 1992
autobiography, "My Story." (Puffin, $5.99)
She recalled that when her grandfather was home, he kept a shotgun by
his side in case the Ku Klux Klan dropped by.
Of her grandfather, Sylvester Edwards, she wrote: "I remember that
sometimes he would call white men by their first names, or their whole
names, and not say, 'Mister.' How he survived doing all those kinds of
things, and being so outspoken, talking that big talk, I don't know,
unless it was because he was so white and so close to being one of
them."
Her grandfather's father was a white plantation owner; his mother a
slave housekeeper and seamstress.
In recent years, Parks has relied heavily on a wheelchair and,
according to court documents, suffers from dementia.
The dementia was revealed as a result of two lawsuits filed on her
behalf against the record company for the hip hop duo Outkast. The 1999
lawsuit claims the record label BMG Entertainment violated her
publicity and trademark rights for the 1998 song "Rosa Parks,' by using
her name without her permission for commercial purposes.
But some of her family members claim Parks was incapable of filing such
a suit of her own accord. They say it was an attempt by one of her
attorneys, Gregory Reed and her longtime friend, Elaine Steele, to get
money.
Meanwhile, in October of this year a federal judge appointed former
Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer as her guardian ad litem-a temporary,
court-appointed attorney to assure her interests in the lawsuits are
fairly represented.
Steele has had durable power of attorney over Parks and serves as her
patient advocate, meaning she will make medical decisions upon
incapacitating illness since 1998, according to documents obtained by
the Free Press.
