Mark

Yes you are but its just plain bizarre in this case..

I live by the red sea, the desert is.. well its kind of empty on account of it being a desert - no people around therefore no trash around.. the only exception would be around the occasional bedouin camp but thats hardly representative..

Jerusalem itself is also hardly representative being as it is the center of a war between israel and the palestinians and having body parts strewn around the streets on a regular basis.
