Cynical Nation

It's a well-known but inconvenient fact among liberal American Europhiles that Switzerland, one of the continent's safest countries, also has the highest rate of gun ownership. Now I learn from Adam that Switzerland's extraordinarily low unemployment rate (and we're talking really low -- 3.8%) occurs in a country that has no minimum wage. Heh, no wonder they don't want to join the EU.

Switzerland's an interesting place. And I know from experience that you just can't beat the Swiss the people (they'll arrest you for that.)
