Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? One of those clocks with the bird in them. I forget what they're called... maybe you get them at craft stores, I don't know. Anyways, peace out.
