America, with its childish response to immigrants, as shown at left, stands in stark contrast to Switzerland, one of the most sophisticated and highly developed countries on Earth.

Switzerland features: Fabulous education, incredible, urbane culture, and a standard of living close to the very top of the world rankings.

Pertinent to this post, they have four official language–French, mostly spoken in the west, German in the north. Italian in the south, and Romansh, a variety of Latin, in the east.  The truth, however, is that no one could possibly care what language you speak.  If you want to speak Mandarin or Bulgarian, you’ll have trouble communicating with others, but that’s your problem.

The United States features: A considerable level of affluence, but entire regions that are drowning in poverty, ignorance, racial hatred, fanatical Christianity, lousy public education that gets worse with each passing year, and people who seem to have nothing better to do than heap even more pain on some of the world’s most miserable people.
