WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE END?

That, seen in a millenium-long history of the human species, is just a a moment.
Evolution is a never-ending progress. What was right yesterday is becoming a mistake tomorrow.
Never forget that your present is also your past and your future

CATS RULE !
I'm sorry for Bunnies. I love Bunnies as much as Sole did.
But I must admit Cats are ruling the world! (psst...it's still not common knowledge but they are holding worldwide conventions for a world takeover!)
See and read here: https://twitter.com/TheFuckingCat
Meanwhile they are skillfully infiltrating diplomatic channels as it's clearly demonstrated here:

All above information is purrfectly secret!
Well...unless some human can be purrsuaded to join the Cats Liberation Army, of course!

Wikileaks' Julian Assange gets kitten at Ecuador embassy
DESPITE CENTURIES AND CENTURIES...VATICAN STILL COMMANDS!
http://tribunatreviso.gelocal.it/treviso/cronaca/2016/05/09/news/interruzione-di-gravidanza-diritto-negato-1.13441624?ref=hftttrer-2
A fundamental right for women who want to terminate unwanted pregnancy (whatever the reason: rape, health, etc) is denied due to a so-called conscience-dictated decision.
Doctors, who should put their patient's well being before anything else, decide they can't perform abortion due to their religious beliefs.
On the other hand, there have been many cases of illegal abortions performed in some private clinics where those same physicians were doing - privately - what they denied publicly.
As always, Italy is still a country ruled by Church's powers.
Let's not forget that in this country, Church has acknowledged privileges:
- in terms of taxes, real estate, etc
- in terms of immunities
and other, less known and non-officiel privileges:
- a special 'ear' in justice by magistrates who built their careers thanks to the little 'word' to a special friend
connected to the Vatican
- a special way to careers - such as those so-called doctors who deny abortion and oblige women to abort
under less than safe conditions, doctors that are rewarded with advancements of career and money
earnings thanks to special recommendations, although they renege the basic Hippocratic Oath
My poor country. How true was the thought of my History Professor, Monsieur Cox, who said more than 50 years ago, that Italy would never be a modern country till it had inside itself that other State, the Vatican!
