"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? The cuckoo clock."

Well, it is interesting to know. Kind of takes the edge off a little. The unknown was part of the allure.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

I agree with you. The mystery was a big part of what made it interesting. I always liked the self portrait theory."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?
