I’d spent some time in Zurich and it seemed to me that the place closed at 9 pm. I came to NY which didn’t. At that time, other than a few private banks, there wasn’t much in Geneva. I’ve believed for a while I made the wrong choice: quality of life is much higher and YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE WARS.
BTW the Swiss seem to be trying to attract hedgeies rater than bankers.

All of a sudden, they’re compelled to start doing nuance, and it shatters their libertarian facade.

Antarctica, without any electricity, nor any connections to the world financial system, would be an object lesson for them on their relative importance to the world….

But bring that number back to a more level field say, (1:100,000) and the ball shall be back with the people. Washington himself said 1:30,000. See http://www.thirty-thousand.org for the real problem with our dysfunctional goverment!

But I for one welcome our budding uber-wealthy tax-evading neo-feudal overlords. Poverty ain’t so bad, if you’ve got enough cheap wine.

(I read that Rachel was dancing to these guys on her show a couple weeks ago, but I didn’t see it.)

His argument was that there is no rule of law there, and that’s why Somalia doesn’t work. I told him that isn’t the law government. And he said that proper law is steadily implemented by the people. You can see how I could have kept going, and he could have kept chasing his tail. I had to stop there, because it would have only confused our law school audience.
