Article on the the Paleo-Libertarian Lew Rockwell site, urging US and EU to follow the model of Switzerland:

Freedom vs Force

The article somehow neglects to mention that Switzerland also has universal healthcare.

In my ideal world, I think I'd still live in New Orleans.

But New Orleans would be a canton of Switzerland, and Switzerland would be an island in the Caribbean.

I'm enjoying some excellent Swiss cheese... not the type with holes in it, but cheese brought from Switzerland by my friend Wolf who lives in Zurich.

Herr Dr. Professor Wolf is in New Orleans, where he gave a talk on bug related topics at a biology conference. He's staying over here for a few days; he last visited New Orleans in back in the 1980s. The last time I saw him was on my 1993 trip to Europe.

He had emailed me asking if I wanted him to bring something. I suggested chocolate. He more than obliged by presenting me with several bars of excellent Swiss chocolates plus a bag of assorted miniatures. Double yay!! And if that weren't enough, a block each of Tilsiter, St. Paulin, and Luzerner Rahmkase.

Yum. Man, that's good Luzerner Rahmkase.
