DUM ROMAE...

2008.04.02

FIUMICINO AIRPORT ROME

ALITALIA is going to collapse and its crisis seems to be irreversible; thousands of workers are on the brink of abyss but elections are on the way and all politicians are using this matter to seduce voters: fake promises, silly arguments.
History is always the same: at the time of ancient Rome, 2000 years ago, the Second Punic War (referred to as "The War Against Hannibal") lasted from 218 to 201 BC and involved combatants in the western and eastern Mediterranean.
17 years of talks to define the strategy to defeat Hannibal and, while they were discussing in Senate, Roman armies were destroyed on the battlefields.
Dum Romae consulitur, Saguntum expugnatur...

Olympic Airways, is in the same situation. Many years of discussions and arguments did not seem to help...
Great shots!

And so it will go on in the Future as well...Politicians should lurn by the mistakes made in the past... But no.. Every elections it´s the same...promises and lies... so it is in Italy and so it is in Portugal, will it ever get better? .. I gave up

I pledge allegiance to a country without borders, without politicians
Watching for my sky to get torn apart
We are broken, we are bitter
We're the problem, we're the politicians
Watching for our sky to get torn apart
C'mon and break me

your blog seems to be very thought provoking......politicians every where are full of empty promises..its seems like a common occurrence in every country........wonderful images...especially good perspective in #1.
