Magic Mood JeepĀ© ) said, .... Milk has been close to $2/gallon for over a decade now, and yet more people throw a big to-do over the gas they put in their vehicles. Today's newspaper had an article warning that the price of milk was about to skyrocket because of the cost of fuel to deliver it and the rising cost of soybeans to feed the cattle. Annie |

Well, the amount of hurricane damage over the past decade or so has been extraordinary even in states that could be expected to be hit. Florida had no state income tax when I lived there but went wayyy off the deep end on the sin taxes you described. |

The 1992 article regarding how the Raleigh area was the best place to live in the country was the kiss of death. Now most things that are wrong with this place are related to too may people moving here. Although, the NYC writer who said that the criteria used are based upon what cities DON'T have--such as high crime rates, pollution, etc. He pointed out that we also don't have Broadway. |

And if gas was say... ten dollars a gallon... would you still be thinking of taking your 4-wheel drive SUV TRUCK up to the corner store for that gallon of milk? Of COURSE it will discourage consumption! And you'd be one of the first ones to gripe, I can assure you... Assuming gets you in trouble, butt blossom. Don't own an SUV, don't like 'em. Nobody in the family owns anything that gets less than 21mpg - city. Fuggoff It still cost me 10 bucks a week to get where I'm going. How about you? I now only need worry that I'm going to get KILLED when one of you yuppie JERK-OFFS plows into MY FACE with the bumper of one of your big ugly TANKS... All because you got so much to say on your friggin' CELL PHONE! As previously stated - I don't own an SUV. My weekly fuel costs are around $18 - not bad considering a 44 mile round trip to work 5 days a week. BTW, fuel tax increases to discourage consumption were tried before without producing the desired results. You really do have an issue with basic comprehension, huh? |
