The ancient Sardinian tradition has origin in its position, an island in the Mediterranean one that him from the antiquity was known and had mainly established some due commercial relationships to the presence of obsidian.

The mask in its endless expressions has ancient origins, and it is a mean to perpetuate the tradition. Also in Sardinia, as in other cultures, the mask has had a notable role that has actually reached our days.

Use of the Mask in the Sardinian tradition

How examples we can quote the Sartiglia of Oristano, where the riders that have to insert the star with the sword while they are being to the gallop, they wear a white mask that makes them unrecognizable. And the "Mamutones" ancient mask of Sardinia (Mamoiada), the people that wear it are also decorated with skins and cowbells.

What allows to me surprised is to see a people that even it knows his own job, but it performs it in hurry and badly: if we consider a motivation resides in the search of a correspondent great for unity of time; if we speak of a dependent instead the reasons they can reside as in a lack of professional pride or in a deleterious diffused resignation that "so much the important one and that the problem is temporarily resolved - or - the head has ordered him". Without skipping the fact that any good job can quickly be realized, do we think really that power resides in the hands of whom imparts the orders? Or rather who really knows to do well his job, small or great that am! You try to imagine a great hospital: Boards of directors, Manager, Surgeons, Assistants, Administrative, Nurses of room, Staff paramedic, Ushers, Cooperatives for the Cleanings and so many others. If you have to do a surgery, where to gone? By the director of a hospital, by an adviser of administration, a nurse or a surgeon? Very probably by a excellent surgeon. Well, even I call a good electrician to replace the electrical system of the my house.

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is a law of the United States proposed in 2011 to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Proposals include barring advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with allegedly infringing websites, barring search engines from linking to the sites, and requiring Internet service providers (ISP) to block access to the sites. The bill would criminalize the streaming of such content, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
User-content websites such as YouTube, but not only, would be greatly affected, and concern has been expressed that they may be shut down if the bill becomes law. Opponents state the legislation would enable law enforcement to remove an entire internet domain due to something posted on a single blog, arguing that an entire online community could be punished for the actions of a tiny minority. The 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) includes the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, the copyright owners are required to request the site to remove the infringing material within a certain amount of time. SOPA would bypass this "safe harbor" provision by placing the responsibility for detecting and policing infringement onto the site itself.
This is serious problem Freedom of speech and Freedom of information: The president Obama, mentioned on the Texas Insider: "will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression".
On October 28, 2011, the EFF called the bill a "massive piece of job-killing Internet regulation," and said, "This bill cannot be fixed; it must be killed."
Nancy Pelosi is far from the only member of Congress opposed to the legislation. On Tuesday, ten members of Congress signed a "dear colleague" letter expressing concerns with the bill. The signers were nine Democrats plus Republican Ron Paul, a libertarian-leaning candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.
SOPA, they write, is "overly broad and would cause serious and long term damage to the technology industry, one of the few bright spots in our economy." The representatives warned that SOPA would result in "an explosion of innovation-killing lawsuits and litigation."
Also opposed to the legislation is Republican Darrel Issa. "I don't believe this bill has any chance on the House floor," Issa told The Hill on Wednesday. "I think it’s way too extreme, it infringes on too many areas that our leadership will know is simply too dangerous to do in its current form."
