Where do you think the whole Sunday as a day of rest and not shopping came from? Sure, I get your point - just not sure if you realise that the primary reason for us having shopping restriction is because of pressure from the church. So in that respect we are totally in agreement! That doesn't mean that I should start becoming alarmed when sectors of society express their views.

The be honest I was a little disappointed by Couchepins comments. Switzerland is SUPPOSED to be a secular society, I don't think his comments were in any way appropriate, and the timing is exceptionaly poor.

In other words, this is no time for anyone to be taking sides, especially someone in that position...
