"But it means something to me, and your vote should mean something to you too, if only the personal, moral significance of doing the right thing when so many others would not."

As much the soil of the Pitjantjatjara.
I caught a bus from Argentina to Trieste to cast a vote for YES in the Voice referendum. About twenty-six minutes in Roman peak hour. It was crowded and hot. Everything is crowded and hot in Rome at the moment, weeks after the weather should have turned towards the colder, darker edge of winter. The sun is reliably late getting up, and getting later with every day. But the days are scorching on the hot, black volcanic stones of the capitals oldest streets.
