Although this building prohibition is technically an attack on freedom,

The Swiss held a referendum and the majority voted NO...HOW is this an attack on freedom?

Mister Muggles -- You write: "The Swiss held a referendum and the majority voted NO...HOW is this an attack on freedom?"

It's important to distinguish between democracy and freedom -- altho' few people do. One is majority rule and the other is individual rights. Democracy is often mistaken, tyrannical, and evil -- individual liberty never is.
