[edit] Point-of-View sentence should be removed
The article states, with magisterial naiveté: "From then, and over much of the 20th century, continuous political, economic, and social improvement has characterized Swiss history." Spoken like a true progressive! Television and "modern thinking" have so gently washed your cranial neurons that you are blissfully unaware that you are expressing opinion and not fact.
What if I don't happen to think Swiss UN membership is an "improvement"? Even more shocking: what if I think that political activity is destroying women's femininity, and that women shouldn't vote, both for their own good and for the good of their nation? What if I think Geneva should be able to mint its own coinage? It's not up to Wikipedia to decide what is or isn't a "social improvement". Delete! Writtenright 04:09, 16 June 2007 (UTC)Writtenright
Well, if you do not think these ARE in facts improvements, aren't you stating an opinion, too, and a minority opinion at that, since all of these alleged improvements were passed by a majority of population and cantons. I think the sentence should stay in, altough you could change improvements possibly for reforms. Halbwolf (talk) 22:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
