Marcel replied:
: Jim, this discussion about whether Switzerland is a western country

: or still live the life of the great Troglodytes is not my taste.
: You probably find pros and cons for every country. Let me just

: how to deal with the Swiss and that we also have a fairly old

 issued in Canada or the UK or the

 Please answer the question.
