The RSA animations are quite a find! Thanks.
I can respond to one part of the video: the Lega Nord:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lega_Nord
I first heard of it listening to an Italian audio magazine that comes out every
other month. There have been 3-4 articles over the last 4 years.
It has had a huge impact on fiscal laws. For example, in recent elections a
certain percentage of taxes collected in a region MUST be spent in that region.
This is to halt the flow of money from north to south.
Maybe Fabio and others of our Italian readers could comment. As a traveler in
Italy, I've not spent much time in the south, but going through Napoli to
Capri, I did get some of that feel. I don't get it as much in Rome, but then I
was there on business once so got to see some of the non-turist side of Rome.
Relating to the video .. I really buy the fact that this invisible time
artifact just might be quite important. Certainly thought provoking.
How'd you happen across it?
