I like birds... they are pretty. Birds come in many shapes sizes and colors. I especially like big birds. Birds fly in the air. They build nests in trees, and sometimes in my house.

Birds are good for the environment because they die. After a few million years under many layers of sediment they give way to the heat and pressure and are transformed into oil. I hope my doggy Scruffy will be turned into oil too. He likes antifreeze.

My mommy says oil costs too much. But I told her it had to drilled and sucked out of the earth. Then it had to be taken by way of boat and/or truck hundreds of miles to get here. Then it had to be refined by taking the lightest of the gases and skimming them of of the top. There is very little that actually becomes gas. Then it has to captured and trucked once again to wholesalers, then to gas stations and to you. Yet a gallon of gas doesn't cost anymore than two bottled waters... unless you're at Disney Land and I here gas is cheaper than bottled water.

If you add in the fact that inflation means a dollar isn't what it used to be, gas cost even less.

I like birds, they are cool.
