the day that Berlusconi loses a confidence vote for 3 vote, and the policy of trading offers a distressing spectacle, Athos is the only one I can talk, maybe because its not that he is leaving the ship on which he lived and that was sinking now, reminds me of the humanity and sensitivity that today our political class seems to want to step on every day in the name of self-interest.

Era un cane "d'altura" la mascotte della Jolly Amaranto, ormai si trovava meglio in mare che a terra.

A sailor, Peter De Marco, Licata, dived to try to save him, but was in turn help because they would lose their lives too. December 14, 2010
