George not really a student on Sunday, instead of remaining home to study, went to watch the rugby test match in Italy, Fiji. Louise, too! Do you think the weekend is 40 km with the train to visit his grandmother who lives alone. At least she goes by her grandmother, you say. Antonio goes dancing with friends every Friday night! Outrageous! And I would not speak of Charles ... And 'even went to Rome to protest against the reform of the university! What stuff! No matter the actual academic performance of George, Louise, Anthony and Charles, if not stay home to study (day and night, weekdays and holidays ... because this is the message) are not real students.

This is, essentially, the thought of Berlusconi and well Cruciani, who never had time to demonstrate why he thought of studying. It is clear that an expert does not need logic to demonstrate how this statement is so far removed from the category of reality as it is rather close to the category of demagogic. You can study and protest, to study and work, study and play sports, I will not dwell in the examples, nor in an attempt to refute a theory that does not stand even with crutches.

Moving on the front of the protest, it is also close to the category of populist reform argue against a generic parroted phrases ("the decree dismantles research " yes, but how and why?) And free of holds and concrete examples and relevant to the the measure and is irritating to know of demonstrators protesting a priori based on the color of the government that proposes a law. And it is understandable that Cruciani, like Berlusconi, is bothered by this phenomenon, which unfortunately is endemic of Italy.

As for the prime minister, the communication strategy that is more understandable to take hold on the public and electorate are clear and simple slogan, which will reduce the complexity of an event through a clear position to facilitate the somatization the concept of communication by the addressee. Instead, what is less understandable is the communication strategy by a radio host who takes refuge in the same way working, where would all the oratorical skills to demonstrate the inconsistency of the arguments of many listeners who lack the right arguments.

It 'clear that among the demonstrators who are stealing these days the media scene with the usual escort there is a percentage (high or low it is) absolutely uninformed on the reform of students taking to the streets just to "mess" or miss a few days of school, as it is clear that the syllogism "who protest is not a real student" is mystifying. But as said before, it is hoped that the comparison is too short to break the circuit and demagogic moves at a more dialectical? One may perhaps continue to refuge behind the excuse of trasmissione "di cazzeggio" per giustificare certe prese di posizione imbarazzanti?

Certo, si può cambiare frequenza... Ma il problema non sono quelli che si "incazzano", da una parte o dall'altra, e che chiamano per intervenire e dissentire, considerato che hanno una capacità di analisi e di critica tale da fargli formulare un proprio pensiero. Il problema sono coloro che assimilano queste fantomatiche balle con spirito acritico. Vuole Cruciani continuare ad essere megafono funzionale della becera demagogia di una parte politica in risposta alla becera demagogia dell'altra parte, o possiamo augurarci di avere una Zanzara che sia megafono del pensiero critico, propositivo e non aprioristicamente precluso al confronto, che anima ancora i cuori di tanti italiani, indipendentemente dalla loro appartenenza politica?
