The Pros and Cons of Switzerland
The correct word in the first sentence here is “renown,’ not “renowned.” But be this as it may.
As I mentioned in a recent post, I met a woman from Zurich the other day, and the conversation quickly went to how amazingly beautiful the entire nation of Switzerland is, but, unfortunately, how expensive it is to live there–even to visit.
It’s a matter of supply and demand, of course; the country is small but spectacular.
The same principle applies to California. A $1 million house here would be worth perhaps $150K in a less desirable part of the United States. But most folks love the climate, the economic opportunities, our progressivism, and whatever else I may be missing.
We don’t have The Alps, but we have far fewer uneducated racists on a per capita basis than can be found elsewhere. Apparently, a large number of us think that’s something worth considering.
How dare you slander the Deep South. Pigeonholing nearly have the country into a box labeled “too dumb to think for themselves “ is typical liberal logic and insulting to everyone who does not share your opinions. I’m from Mobile, AL, about as “Deep South” as you can get and my IQ is 142. If I’m dumb you must be beyond idiotic.
You’re right. I’m going to edit this to make it more vague. Yet there ARE parts of the country that have horrible educational standard, and the DO happen to be in the you-know-where.
