Congratulations, Switzerland!

You can kiss your guns and your gold goodbye!!!

At first, I thought the Swiss had to do a supermajority in order to pass something, instead of just a bare majority.

Too bad. I guess there won't be a safe haven for the next war, not like that mattered to some WW2 Jews.

About 15 years ago, I made a bet with someone that Switzerland would be the World/UN Capitol within 50 years. That bet is looking better these days.

Switzerland may have the right idea, self-serving as it may be. Washington, DC, has been the seat of power in the US for a long time, but was so easily accesible by the commoners that a cheap, inefficient labour market grew up around the city. That can't happen in Switzerland, it's so damned hard to get there for poor people.
