So, you think a gallon of gasoline is expensive?

Well, here are a few things that "Autoweek" brought to our attention to
compare.

This is what it costs to buy a gallon of:

Lipton Ice Tea 16oz for $1.19 equals $9.52 per gallon
Ocean Spray 16oz for $1.25 equals $10.00 per gallon
Gatorade 20oz for $1.59 equals $10.17 per gallon
Diet Snapple 16oz for $1.29 equals $10.32 per gallon
STP Brake Fluid 12oz for $3.15 equals $ 33.60 per gallon
Scope 1.5oz for $0.99 equals $ 84.84 per gallon
Pepto Bismol 4oz for $3.85 equals $123.20 per gallon
Vick's Nyquil 6oz for $8.35 equals $178.13 per gallon
Whiteout 7oz for $1.39 equals $254.17 per gallon

And this is the REAL KICKER......
Evian water 9oz for $1.49 equals $21.19 per gallon...
$21.19 FOR WATER!!

My point is the same point that one observant Roman had when he observed Little Caligula prancing around ancient Rome:

We are nursing a viper in our midst.

Update that to a generation of vipers, who think nothing of offing their schoolmates or an innocent teacher who the assailant claimed he liked!

Didn't happen when I was a schoolboy. What do we do about this amoral generation? I know you'll say gun control isn't the answer, but what is?
