| Re: Swiss Senator Dick Marty: “Something is culturally wrong in Switzerland”
| Quote: | |  | | | Do we know why the federal Council did not offer a counter proposal? A watered down ban on all form of spire regardless of faith or an enforcement of the local will of the population. | | | | | Because they hoped that the campaign will not grow out of control if the object is presented as fast as possible in front of the people. I suspect also a bit of laziness and fail to recognize that the religious cohabitation is an issue for a lot of people (YMMV). Counter initiative would have meant to launch a real debate with all the parties and the various communities. A proposal could have been that the construction of new religious building must be a joint project of the local authority and the religious community committee. Cost shared that would allow smaller communities to get a proper building and the local authority would also have their word to say about the structure. | Quote: | |  | | | People forget that in the past 100 years the worst massacres, such as the Second World War or Srebrenica, were carried out by Christians. | | | | | Wow Dick Marty has the sense of the formula… And of the approximation… The Goldwin law is definitely right.  |
