italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
massi, di passaggio in patria e in condizioni elettronicamente precarie, non
posso non rispondere, anche se brevemente, al tuo messaggio per esprimerti
tutta la mia solidarietà. Mi addolora moltissimo sentire quel che racconti, ma
noi italiani siamo vissuti troppo tempo con l'illusione di essere tolleranti,
aperti, "buoni", ecc. ecc. Purtroppo, tolleranti non si nasce ma si diventa, e
solo lentamente e con fatica. Se c'è qualcosa di positivo in quel che racconti,
è proprio questo: sono i primi segni che un processo di crescita è
incominciato, ma è un processo che non avviene da solo; bisogna lavorare,
vigilare, battersi continuamente perchè le forze della reazione non abbiano la
meglio. Solo a questo patto si può sperare in un'Italia migliore. Coraggio,
Max, e auguri,
Lino
