But what is it? Well, we say it is the latest craze of that virtual world (in huge expansion) that is the internet. The term derives from a contraction of Web and Log, comments (tracks) on the Web is a particular web page as a structured a diary which collects texts open to reader comments. Users can write pages-blog thoughts, opinions, poems, experiences, or place links on specific topics, as well as images. Okay, but what interests us? The fact is that even Biancavilla has not been "immune" from this fashion, for which they were born in the network of blogs, some very popular (http://blog.virgilio.it/biancavilla, www.biancavilla.splinder.com, http://blog.virgilio.it/csb). Yes, I agree, the idea of \u200b\u200b"electronic square", the virtual court, the 'agora' (let the big word) that seeks to bridge the communication gap that is characteristic of our society, there is all agree. But why make a blog about our country? What have we to say we the people of Pallet Town? What we should never talk, if not the small daily problems and the usual bickering politicians that this city has given us a legacy of often permanent? Drugs maybe? Just because the drugs now read (but not only) are increasingly common among young people (if not very young) in our country? But if everyone knows it. Unemployment? Of all those young, maybe graduates, who are again forced to emigrate to find work? Of the desperation of those who are not located or who is losing? Come on, why degrade with certain subjects boring and repetitive? But we may speak of child labor, all those kids who are forced to work (in black) to round family budgets increasingly seen as inadequate, and that steal time and resources of his own youth. But in the end, it is spoken, we will end with the expiry of the usual platitudes. No, better let it alone. Ah, yes, there would be no crisis in the agricultural sector, who can no longer produce or sell. But not all farmers are ... "If people have no bread, you eat the brioche," said the Queen Marie Antoinette. He was right: there is a solution to everything. Or not ... come on, do not tell me that one could speak of organized crime? Everyone knows that there is, or rather, that is so entrenched in Our culture, our way of thinking, in our daily humiliation and acceptance, it would be like talking of nothing. No, no, never mind, let us have a more serious, the most important. And then, maybe, if all these problems do not talk about it, perhaps does not see anyone and everyone could continue to seem nice or at least acceptable. Long live the ostrich and his wonderful wisdom. But ... if you really really want ... if you are so stubborn and can not make you a reason ... well ... it could also be discussed. Perhaps on these blogs, or in our newspaper. But this is a whisper, so as not to disturb, not to wake anyone. Think about it. Good night.
