		Switzerland was a member of the League of Nations, and although it has long participated in many activities of the United Nations, it did not become a UN member until 2002 for fear that its neutrality would be compromised.

	Switzerland (08/06)
		Switzerland is a federal state composed of 26 cantons (20 are "full" cantons and six "half" cantons for purposes of representation in the federal legislature) that retain attributes of sovereignty, such as fiscal autonomy and the right to manage internal cantonal affairs.
		Switzerland had previously been involved as party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice and member of most UN specialized agencies, as well as the International Atomic Energy Agency.
		Traditionally, Switzerland has avoided alliances that might entail military, political, or direct economic action, but in recent years the Swiss have broadened the scope of activities in which they feel able to participate without compromising their neutrality.

	II Journal: European Integration and Swiss Identities
		Switzerland is a political construction that had never been pre-defined by geographic, ethnic or linguistic borders.
		A very complicated event is the election of the federal counselors of this party, because it is the bourgeois majority of the parliament that often elects a member of the Social-Democratic party who is not an official candidate of the party.
		There are the explicit statements about Switzerland, and there are the very detailed descriptions of Swiss life, life in the villages, in the smaller and the larger towns--two approaches that reflect the two discourses about Europe I mentioned before, a more abstract one and a more practical one.

	A2Z Languages: History and Government of Switzerland
		Switzerland followed a much different history from that of its European neighbors, mostly because no ruler since the 14th century was able to claim more than a theoretical lordship over the small, yet well organized group of cantons that comprised Switzerland.
		This location left the Confederacy of Switzerland well placed to interfere in the continual power struggles of the period, and the reputation of their army – probably the most powerful in Europe at the end of the 15th century brought fear to their enemies.
		Given Switzerland’s continuing prosperity, economic arguments are rarely heard, although there is a broad acceptance – especially in the financial community – that the Euro will become a standard feature of commercial life in the near future.

		In this country, the Socialist Party always denied that socialism existed in Russia (or anywhere else) or that Russia was on a transition towards socialism.

		Social Security has been pilfered, which is why we are having the current “crisis.” As with everything, we will rectify the accounting by unanimity.
		If the Parties agree to increase or decrease funding for certain programs or projects, or even dissolve a bureaucracy or two, that is what will happen.
		If he adopted the 3rd Party USA principles, which he has espoused many times over, then I believe his celebrity and his lengthy fight against corporatism should be rewarded.

		The theme of the weekend was Christian "apologetics," meaning defense of the faith against heretical enemies of all stripes.
		There, Christians by the thousands are flocking to wild faith healing extravaganzas where people shout and cry and fall on the floor because they are "slain in the spirit."

	:::THC::: Allan Carlson, Ph.D.: Speeches: The Howard Center
		From his birth to his death, each man is involved in a multiplicity of natural social structures outside of which he could neither live nor achieve his full development….Each of these groups possesses a specific organic unity; first of all, there is the family, the child’s natural place of growth.
		The Christian Democrats view the (core) family as a privileged opportunity to implement their social…principles. They want the citizens to adapt their private lives to demanding interpersonal relationships. Family life, especially the traditional family life of a married couple with several children, is a first embodiment of such relationships in other sectors of society.
		Indeed, the only Christian Democratic theme not present is an open affirmation of the Deity of Creation. Several members of the drafting committee, led by Charles Malik, sought inclusion of this idea. But in the end, they agreed to more universal language that implied, rather than named, God.

		While society was crumbling, the role of teachers as change agents of humanism were shifting more and more from the imparting of knowledge, the cultivation of scholarship, and of the intellect, to the achieving of the humanistic ideal — the transformation of society.
		According to Eakman, the social transformation is being engineered not by one but by two equally unethical cadres of behavioral scientists of the Mental Hygiene Movement — one being eugenic psychologists/psychiatrists and evolutionary psychologists, and the other being essentially professional Marxist agitators.

	Where Have All the Single Christian Men Gone? - Christian Singles Today
		I agree that Christianity is presented today in predominantly feminine language, and I think the church has come to look as if it's a "women's world," like a hair salon or a garden party.
		I think men would be much more significantly convicted if a Christian man in their profession (or one simply further along in career/life) came alongside them to advise them in career, life, and how to grow into being a strong man of God.
		Actually, I should qualify that by saying there are few single Christian women in or near my age who are interested in somebody who isn't some form of Super Christian or pastor-type person—handsome, outgoing, funny, quick-witted.

	Christian Anarchy (Eller)
		Consequently, lacking an explicit terminology, even the greatest Christian anarchists--from Jesus on down--have not had themselves or their condition identified in a way that would make possible explicit consideration, analysis, and debate.
		I propose, therefore, that the basic distinction between worldly politics and Christian politics lies in two assumptions that are fundamental to the worldly practice but absolutely rejected by the gospel.
		Yet, just as obviously, if "apolitical" has to mean "socially unconcerned," "hopeless about any possibility of change," "helpless that either God or the church might publicly act"--if "apolitical" has to carry these overtones, then it is the last word in the world that will apply to Karl Barth.
