[Culturechat] Switzerland and the EU

[Vance Roy]

You know, CH isn't just about cows. For that matter, as in the USA, 
small farmers here of all types are a vanishing breed.

What about the glorious mountains that immediately remind one of their 
own insignificance in this world compared to the natural wonders? How 
about the Old World habits such as lesiure at lunch? How about the 
relative neatness and order? Least of all, how about the resolution and 
solidarity one learns from these folks?

Cows, bells, cheese, chocolate, etc. are all great but a long way from 
being what CH is about. The EU will come to CH as will the UN; it is a 
matter of time ( my prediction is not very long ). Did you know that a 
CH man or woman cannot go into an EU country for employment, only for 
education. The reverse is not so. The young people will bring about the 
changes.

One thing for sure, CH isn't likely to ever be a society as East Germany 
was.
