OK, I was a bit harsh with the sarcasm there but seriously think about this:
First of all, the Swiss are doing this by referendum. That means its about as close to a consenting experiment in the social sciences as you can get. It is supremacist for the government to test is social theories on unwilling human subjects, and that is going on all the time all over the world's so called "liberal democracies", yet people are all ablither about the Swiss doing something that resembles self-determination. Secondly, think about how wonderful it is that this social theory, which is held by a _lot_ of people -- an increasing number all the time, including libertarians and Cato Institute scholar Charles Murray -- will be tested, not on _you_ but on a far away little isolated country where your theories can be proven correct as the Swiss crash and burn forthwith. Celebrate the impending victory of your social theory as validated by relatively controlled experimental conditions!
