The buildings in villages would be very closely clustered together, like they were in a huddle to form a solid core against the unknowns of the wider natural world. Wales is where [...]

Maybe someone out there can explain this to me, but it makes no sense to me. The Swiss apparently have had a program since 1994 (that they just voted to make permanent) which helps addicts satisfy their craving for heroin rather than try to end their addiction. Is this just easier? I don’t understand. Posted [...]

Switzerland Watch on Bloomberg : "Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) -- An isolated European country with an economy geared toward finance and winter sports is no longer a monetary bastion as credit evaporates around the globe. Banks teeter, the once-impregnable currency depreciates and a proudly independent people question whether a centuries-old go-it-alone strategy can survive. Even Switzerland is wondering if...

The War on Drug has been largely a failure; the prices of drugs has fallen in the past decades, the quality...
