How much is this unacceptable?

Italy is the country in which once one gains a privilege, their children will inherit it and the children’s children as well and all of this until the end of time.

But that’s not all, in fact whoever gains a privilege will never share it and most interesting, though easy to guess, they will try to prevent others from gaining it as well.

The fewer players you have? The more profit you get!

That has made Italy a motionless country. That’s why I hope the work this administration is doing will end up creating some good alterations in this system.
Yes, because in this country if you wanted to run a pharmacy you would need a licence, and ok that’s fair, but why should I inherit the licence if my parents own one and why does it have to be almost impossible to get one if my parents own no pharmacies?

How much is it unacceptable? How can you inherit a privilege like this nowadays?

And I won’t tell you about lawyers and other categories.

Maybe you’re not Italian and the word “inherit” sounds too much to you, but it’s actually like that. So it’s not the word too strong, but the law anachronistic.

Euthanasiā: eu-, good + thanatos, death

This country always makes me wonder. In Italy we let the law regulate what should be part of those things dealt just by our consciences.
What a good death means is something really personal, something that touches our ethics, so everyone can have a totally different idea on it.
As far as an idea does not invade someone else’s way of seeing things it deserves respect.

What I find unbearable is a majority who imposes moral laws upon different minorities.
How can a law regulate my relation with death? But where catholic moral goes deep inside nothing is impossible.
So it comes alone that our politicians, weak and weakened by the Church’s interference, raise the right to put out of the law my right to cease to suffer in case of incurable disease that is a thing that should concerns just me, my conscience and the people I love or me and god, if I had faith.


Oooo but they are so good, they won’t let me waste this gift of god, our life, irrespective of the fact that they deal even with people who think differently and believe one should have the possibility to choose.
They want us to gain heaven but I raise the right to go hell, if there was one, or just stop suffering if there wasn’t.
