about half of my regular price. I've been debating this forever because of the cost-versus-counter space debate. If we're talking a dime a liter, you've tipped me over the edge. I'll check out YouTube and elsewhere.

Can't disagree with your statement on Israel, though if you include expats, UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar would outstrip their multi-cultural & multi-racial stats. Though I do object to their liberal interpretation of their own borders, their liberal use of bombs, tanks, and snipers, and their progressive destruction of Gaza.
