Dave,

I don't think the Swiss are THAT unique. After all, first the United States modeled itself after the Swiss. A few decades later, the United States returned the favor: The Swiss, federalized using the United States as a model. They were once referred to as "Sister Republics".

Yes, one tends to have a polite society, when every household has a assault rifle locked in the closet.

re:"Well, the Swiss may be a special case. They also require every able bodied male to have a rifle in his home, so they are truly enlightened."
