In some way, a century after his birth, Aurelio Peccei is still standing.

Thank you Sir. Thank you very much for all the thoughts that, without you, I would never have had.
Andreas is the man of the day because… he wants to interview me (for a joke). 
Here are the rules:
- Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
- I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better. If I already know you well, expect the questions may be a little more intimate!
- You will update your journal/bloggy thing/whatever with the answers to the questions.
- You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
- When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
Okay, here are the questions from Andreas:
- Where do you live and how’s the weather today?
- I live in Piedmont and today it is quite sunny.
- What fascinates or keeps you busy currently?
- What fascinates me? A good answer is “The Antalya Province that I’m planning to visit next month”. What keeps me busy at the moment is a strange mix of private patches against DokuWiki, Joomla and WordPress.
- Who would you like to meet some day?
- It is sad to say but there are many people that I would like to meet or meet again who have passed away.
- What was your favorite subject in school and why?
- I remember that when I was twelve my favourite subject was history… I don’t know why but, many years later, I got a degree in Computer Engineering.
- Boxers or briefs?
- Boxers, definitely.
Avevo deciso di non scrivere nulla, veramente. Quando però ho letto sul sito di “Repubblica” che “L’Osservatore Romano” aveva scritto:
E’ terrorismo alimentare furori ciechi e irrazionali contro chi parla sempre in nome dell’amore.
allora non ho più resistito. La frase, isolata, è certo sottoscrivibile ma vorrei capire come si possa definire terrorismo l’enunciazione di un fatto, peraltro ben descritto in un post di paperogiallo: Augusto Pinochet, responsabile della tortura e dell’assassinio di migliaia di cileni, ricevette l’estrema unzione e un funerale militare con cerimonia cattolica.
Quello che poi vorrei capire, da parte dei tre rappresentanti delle confederazioni sindacali, è come si possa condannare, all’interno di una manifestazione evidentemente antifascista, l’enunciazione in sè di questo insindacabile fatto e non, al limite, la sua posizione nel contesto.
Zeev is the man_of_the_day because… I’ve just met him.
I was asked to translate the audience’s questions from Italian into English: as you know my English is not all that good but there wasn’t any professional translator available. Anyway I didn’t translate that much: I’ll try to summarise my questions and his answers as soon as possible.
