And honestly ... if you can be intellectually honest ... doesn't it amaze you that Switzerland is synonymous with chocolate ... a tropical product? Have you ever stopped to think of why that's possible ... and why people like the Palestinians don't attempt to replicate Switzerland's lawfulness, honesty, integrity, and tolerance?

You're right and I'm wrong on the tax thing. And props to them for taxing investment income at the same rate as earned icome!

But honestly, I associate them more with watches than chocolate.

Well stated ... but ...

... if the question were ... "Name a country associated with chocolate?" ... what would the survey say?

Switzerland, Holland, and Belgium ... all northern European countries ... nowhere near the tropics where cocoa is grown ... would probably lead the list. Isn't that remarkable?

Now let's see the Palestinians create their own "chocolate" ... from their beautiful land on the Mediterranean shore. But first they have to stop killing each other ... and hating everyone else.
