Gasolin...The coffee logic doesn't make sense to me. Gasoline SHOULD BE cheaper than coffee, look at the usage statistics. According to coffeeresearch.org America consumes 334,800,000 cups of coffee per day. That is the equivelant of 20,925,000 gallons of coffee. According to the Energy Information Administration we consume 384,700,000 gallons of gasoline per day. America would have to consume 6,155,200,000 cups of coffee daily to make this a fair comparison.<BR/><BR/>The higher the volume the lower the per unit cost. Read Sam Walton "Made in America" or go into any manufacturing sector and ask for quotes on different quantities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15206271.post-65602358521853113892007-06-06T19:05:00.000-07:002007-06-06T19:05:00.000-07:00Just doing my part to help keep you awake during t...Just doing my part to help keep you awake during these long summer days. -mAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15206271.post-17914169188477357792007-06-01T19:19:00.000-07:002007-06-01T19:19:00.000-07:00OK.

And then I feel better? Nah, I'm goin' straight for the mixers and the chasers.<BR/><BR/>Here's the deal: Why not just jump the price of petrol right on up to the real environmental damage cost of $5 or heck even $8 per gallon? It is the only way to whack our complacent habits and demand alternative ways of motorvatin’ about. It has been that way in Europe a long time and their public transportation is way up there and local car sporting is not. London even recently made it practically a crime (cost wise) to drive one of those steely/plastic beasts into the city. And the last time I was over there and still motoring about, I shelled out more to park the auto than to rent it - almost $75 US/day. Next trip, I was like, tubing, dude, and spent the saved cash like a local - at the pub. <BR/><BR/>The more pressing question for me is: Is Ben related to Bill Harper? The latter once pulled a switch blade and slapped it against my neck at a basketball game, circa 1968. So I just want to know, that’s all. Those were rough times at that Jr. High. And back then, gas was somewhere near a cool .40/gallon. <BR/><BR/>Now, before you get too excited, if this is tied to today’s money game, that’s maybe $2.50/gallon. So at $3.50/gallon now, only $1 more, it is truly a paltry increase which would not buy decent a cup of coffee today. And therefore, gasoline is still much cheaper than coffee. And what about coffee - that small bean that has first been abused and burned by heat, then scalded by water, and then laced with so many cholesterol mongrels or chemical concoctions as to be barely recognizable as a former vegetable. Or is that the tomato? <BR/><BR/>So, between pricing our driving out of existence and making coffee houses full of only the most snobbery lot, I wonder, where will it all end? Probably out on that road next to Kingman, AZ. But hey, you can always be grateful that you at least made it past Bakersfield…Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15206271.post-63444646743856320432007-05-26T08:42:00.000-07:002007-05-26T08:42:00.000-07:00OOPS!

It's like Ben Harper said, the people have to flood the streets because they can kill the revolutionary but the revolution they will never bury. I have a feeling the revolution will be more visible than ever come November '08. So tape whatever reminder or incentive you need up on the fridge, just make sure you keep your fist of love up in the scene and show at the polls in '08.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
