The Swiss immigration policy is not like the cheese.
I selected humor as a category because of the smile on my face from this story.

    I am surprised that you are against a community rejecting citizenship. This guest who is telling them what they should do with the residents private property.
    She has been telling residents to put animal rights ahead of the individual. Anti hunting , anti meat eating. They were not requiring her to engage those behaviors but she was telling them not to.

    ewv is correct.
    Emotionally I like that story and have a good belly laugh.
    But emotion should not have preference over thinking.
    Now in my country, migrant traditions of cutting off heads of unbelievers,
    abuse of women, and a host of other obscenities, are put aside in the
    name of fighting racism. (!)
    To my mind, the Swiss error is preferable.

    "Tradition" is not the basis of a proper government. Conservative "tradition" and "utility" to the collective are anti-individualism and anti-reason.

    Becoming a citizen is not joining an association. Whether or not you agree with her ideas she is advocating for them with her reasons. Suppressing different ideas because the person espousing them is "pushing his own agenda" deemed "offensive" to the tribe is oppressive collectivist ethnicity.

    Local towns denying citizenship for holding independent ideas not following "tradition", right down to the level of cow bells, is oppressive collectivist conservativism. Under that standard no individualist, especially an Objectivist, could ever become a citizen.

    Better to never give government enough resources. Then regardless of who is in charge they are nearly powerless-as it should be.

    Too bad we couldn't have a committee, with the power to deport democrats and anyone else like them.
    I suppose, that too, would get out of control eventually.

    My dad in that lake area you have fond memories of in the Florida panhandle. He said 16 Fahrenheit on his thermometer early this morn. The coldest he has seen since moving there in 1995.
    Regarding livestock I enjoyed a bowl of homemade Chilli tonight with plenty of ground beef. I should put a few Pennies aside for a very near future emissions tax , sorry for the cold .

    Well, how unAmerican! Wait a minute. This is the business of the Swiss. Not ours. Never mind.
    Here in America, hey, let's not allow livestock because they pass gas and make it cold in January.

    Yes. It is the notion that my ideas necessarily supercedes yours and that my only purpose for joining your association is to push my agenda. I make no attempt to reason with you or demonstrate what might be more advantageous to both of us. In fact, I make no attempt to explain how my membership in your society benefits YOU.

    The key sentence in the entire article:

    The resident’s committee argued that if she does not accept Swiss traditions and the Swiss way of life, she should not be able to become an official national.

    That should be the basis for ANY immigration policy, with their utility to the nation being the next consideration.
