The average age of Italian politicians is one of the highest in the world. Regardless of their background, either on the left or on the right, Italian politicians have been trying to "regulate" the Internet for a while now. Their latest proposal is to oblige any site or blog owner to register their site if they generically provide information. The registration would be done through a government agency adding more bureaucracy to a country that has so much of it that could export it, were there countries crazy enough to adopt the Italian system.

Yesterday I was invited at a dinner in San Francisco. The host is a very successful entrepreneur, who now spends most of his time finding money (millions) and setting the vision for the democratic party.

We had a great conversation about world politics, US politics, Italian politics (if it ever existed really :-) ), and compared our visions of the future.
