...Well, their senses are so much smarter than ours. I mean, they're much sharper. Also they're physically more adept. If we had the jumping ability of a cat from a standing position, we'd be able to jump on the top of a two-story house. It's pretty amazing. The other thing is, animals are not hagridden by ideologies. There are no screens between them and reality, so they see things much more clearly than people...

And it would be dangerous to try. "His challenge is to stay disciplined and stay on the track," said one adviser...
...terse statement posted by the country's leading party on its website, it accuses legislators of retaliating against Blocher out of "jealousy and frustration over our successes." And because the lawmakers replaced Blocher with a moderate member of his own party, who might try to blunt the sharper edges of her predecessor's hard-line policies rather than toe the official stance, the SVP has threatened to leave the government and form an opposition party. The move would undermine Switzerland's 50-year-old "magic formula" under which four main political parties share seven Cabinet seats, balancing different cultural...
