BT, SeenT. Who buys Chanel No. 5 by the barrel and on a frequent basis??
Some of those items are purchased frequently, some in relatively large
amounts, but none of them (except maybe beer by certain people, and B&J's by
others!) both by the barrel & often. The comparisons aren't valid.
Interesting maybe, but that's it.

And your point is?

Which of the above do I need to get to work? Which of the above is
needed to transport our food and our manufactured goods? Which of the
above is used to manufacture other needed goods like plastics?

I'm sorry, what was your point again?

I didn't pick the items in the list. Got them from CNBC website:

I didn't assume that you had picked the items.

I don't think it is complete nonsense.

One thing that we all thought would help solve our dependency on foreign oil
is ethanol. It turns out that since it comes from mostly corn crops (at
least in the US) the increase in ethanol has caused food prices to skyrocket
as more and more farmland is converted to growing crops to make ethanol and
also because the cost of feedstock has increased for animals.

See that paragraph above, beginning with "One thing that we all..." ?

See it?

It has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion or the list of silly
items you posted to begin the thread.

Coming from one who posts mostly nonsense...
 >> Stay informed about: Which Cost More? Oil or ... 

I guess he was suggesting if one did not buy Coca Cola @ $126, Milk @ $163,
Perrier Water @ $300, Budweiser @ $447, Starbucks Latte @ $954, Ben &
Jerry's @ $1,609, Tabasco Sauce @ $6,155 and Chanel No 5 @ $1,666,560 they
could afford all the gas they need. Either that or, if they can afford
Coca Cola @ $126, Milk @ $163, Perrier Water @ $300, Budweiser @ $447,
Starbucks Latte @ $954, Ben & Jerry's @ $1,609, Tabasco Sauce @ $6,155 and
Chanel No 5 @ $1,666,560, they do not NEED to worry about the cost of buying
all the gas they need. What did YOU think he meant?

Perhaps, but if one considers what it COSTS the producer to produce all of
those products and how much they pay in taxes and how much YOU pay in taxes
when you buy those products, one might feel differently about the oil
companies

For instance I can buy water from my municipality for $1.85 a thousand
gallons. I would never even consider buying water by the 20 OZ bottle for
$2

How often have we heard from the environuts that we should switch to ethanol
or bio-fuels etc? Where in the hell will we get enough ethanol or
bio-fuels to replace the 400,000,000 gallons of gasoline we use every day in
the US?

It is time to drill our own oil until we can answer that question. The
fact is the Dims believe what the environuts believe and they both WANT us
to pay $4 or MORE a gallon to make us believe what they believe. The only
concern Obama has expressed is that the price went up too fast, not tat it
is going up. He is apposed to drilling of shore and wants to tax the oil
companies to make ethanol or bio-fuels. That will only make the price of
gas and food go up even more.

It would be more productive to smash yourself in the head with a hammer
than to argue with Joe.

The end result is about the same.
