Cost of water
Just a quick note about the misinformation that the media doesn’t check and the public some how accepts as fact.
We all see the reports in this paper and others that water costs more per gallon than gas.(check Friday or Saturdays paper) That simply is not true. The only water that costs more is bottled water and that is a choice like Calvin Kline Jeans. It is not needed like gasoline. Non Bottled water is pennies per gallon! Period! Check your water bill...do the math...water per gallon is no where near the price per gallon of gas.
Buying bottled water is a choice like buying a coke or a candy bar....Am I supposed to be happy because a pound of snickers is like over $17 per gallon and gas is $3.00 per gallon! Come on! The oil companies are raping America and all we do is look to the side and whimper like a wounded deer that has had an arrow shot through its temple.
Thank You.

Hey Steve if you really believe that the oil companies are raping Americans, what is your opinion of the federal taxes, about $0.43, on each gallon of gas. If the oil companies make 9 cents per gallon profit, as they disclosed in their reports, do the math on what the government took in. The oil companies are great to bash as a liberal but remember the liberals in washington dont want to lose this stream of money for their wonderful retirement that pays their salary with increases for life, and its 100% of the amount.
