in response to reader comment: The "rage" comes next

I hope you include your left-wing, feminist sisters in that wildly generalizing claim (that 60% of Swiss are xenophobic racists). I think you'll find that most European nations, and not just Switzerland, could match that 60%, or even raise it. I wager most people in Europe would be chomping at the bit for a similar referendum; and I think we both know how it would turn out, don't we?
