What do you all think of this statement? That the Swiss are the freest people on earth,bare none, and as a heavily armed people, will remain free after even the United States becomes a historical footnote. The Swiss have been a free people since around 1300: a record that far surpasses this country. not even the powerful Third Reich dared to invade Switzerland because of the huge armed populace. There is no real crime in this country and the system is set up so the three racial groups get along fine. Our Republic has already moved into the next step before dictatorship; mob democracy. But the Swiss have basically keep the same system since the 14th century. No slaughter of peoples or chaos in this great country. Everyone is armed and no Stalin, Mao, Hitler,or Big Comrade would stand a chance. Hats off to the Swiss. Not enough credit is given to this peaceful, free people. What do you think?
