How Do You Get A Shiny Umbreon?

Frederick Sollazzo (p.sollazzo @ inwind.it)

In a recent episode of a TV program ("Annozero"), there was talk of the collapse, just occurred, some of the walls, the so-called home of the gladiators at the ruins of Pompeii.
As usually happens when it comes to cultural issues, has tended to divide between "bad" and "good", those who do not care about what is cultural, symbolically represented by a breeder in the north hoped that the walls of Pompeii were used to build dams and dikes in northern Italy, which recently suffered a flood, and those who care about what is cultural, symbolically represented by the tourists of the excavations of Pompeii, forced to wander into a site that is in miserable conditions.
However, that perspective in such matters is, in my opinion, totally distorted. Those tourists are in fact guilty as quell'allevatore, annihilation of what has cultural value. Both of which arise in the face of what has cultural value, with a view utilitarian, consumerist, and it makes no difference if you want to physically destroy what is culturally valuable, in order to build something useful, or if you want to physically maintain what is culturally valuable, in order to take possession potersene consumerist in both cases, disregarded the meaning of what is cultural.
The essential question then lies not in the destruction or preservation of cultural property: the horizon force "(dis) of values, even when the culture is kept in perfect condition, this perfection is at the service of utilitarian logic, commercial , efficient, productive, consumers, this means the placing of Culture instrumental criteria which are foreign, will determine the genuine annihilation.
the way to go, therefore, is not, as usually it is said, that the choice of political administrators virtuous, but, as usually is silent, that of a re-orientation of our paradigm of values: the liberation from the ideology of Western domination .
