Some thing is just wrong

Today I was wondering--
how does Gas compare to other things I buy pretty regularly...

price of milk: $2.99/gal

price of Dr Pepper: $8.00/gal (.75/can)

price of Chai at SB: $28.00/gal (3.50/large)

glad they don't list those things like that!

The other day milk was selling in a New England supermarket at $4.79 a gallon. Down the street, regular gasoline was going for about $3.04 a gallon.

The 400-page report by the Food and Agricultural Organisation, entitled Livestock’s Long Shadow, also surveys the damage done by sheep, chickens, pigs and goats. But in almost every case, the world’s 1.5 billion cattle are most to blame. Livestock are responsible for 18 per cent of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, more than cars, planes and all other forms of transport put together.
