	Switzerland (07/05)
		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.

		As a consequence of the civil war, Switzerland adopted a federal constitution in 1848, amending it extensively in 1874 and establishing federal responsibility for defense, trade, and legal matters.
		Switzerland is a prosperous and stable modern market economy with a per capita GDP higher than that of the big western European economies.
		Switzerland remains a safe haven for investors, because it has maintained a degree of bank secrecy (see Swiss bank account) and has kept up the franc's long-term external value.

		And while they're standing at the front door on guard for their "democracy", the freedoms they associate with that "democracy" are swiftly and silently being swept out the back door, leading them to a "democracy" of eventual, complete government control.
		Every arbitrarily restricted personal or economic freedom in Canada has been declared to be "democratically justifiable" as being for the "good of society", even when it has openly been admitted that the restrictions come at the expense of individual freedoms and rights.
		In a free democracy, individual freedom would be protected, not threatened, by a defined, limited and subservient government whose primary role would be to provide national and civil defence and to prevent some individuals and groups in society from imposing their preferences and choices upon others against their will.

	Manifesto of The Freedom Party
		The Freedom Party believes that the freedoms of the people whose ancient roots lie in the United Kingdom are being steadily encroached upon by a regime which falsely describes itself as liberal.
		There are individual freedoms to hold beliefs and express opinions, and there is the freedom of peoples as a whole to preserve their identity, culture and, in the extreme, their existence.
		The Freedom Party therefore wishes to encourage a climate within which citizens are not discouraged from expressing their disapproval of crime, and are permitted to take reasonable measures to protect themselves.

	Libertarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many libertarians, including the Libertarian Party of the United States and New Zealand's Libertarianz Party, consider the Statue of Liberty to be an important symbol of their ideas.
		Many libertarians hold that all liberties they support (such as privacy, freedom of speech, the right to own property, and the freedom to trade) are justifiable on the same philosophical or ethical foundations.
		Such critics may argue that the libertarian definition of "freedom" (as visualized in the Nolan Chart) is flawed because it ignores the effects powerlessness and poverty have on liberty.

		It is a tactic of the political scoundrels who support the capitalist system and the Democrat Party, such as Mike and Maureen Smith do, to frame their political attacks against the left with the assertion that their real problem is with the activist’s personal conduct.
		These public assertions against me (lies) that I in no way represent the Peace and Freedom Party and that I have misrepresented this fact continued with their mailing of Mike and Maureen Smith to Peace and Freedom Party registrants asserting that I do not represent the Peace and Freedom Party.
		Locally, in the past, Mike and Maureen Smith have run the Santa Cruz Peace and Freedom Party in the opposite direction of what the Party is all about, and the fact that this has changed, and the fact that they can no longer claim they are in charge, I think this is news.
