FlonkNews: What About Taco Bell?

MONTGOMERY: Belching and gaseous cows and hogs could start costing farmers

extra money if a U.S. government proposal to charge fees for air-polluting

animals becomes law.

Farmers so far are turning their noses up at the notion, which is one of

several put forward by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) after the

U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that greenhouse gases emitted by belching

and flatulence amounts to air pollution.

"This is one of the most ridiculous things the federal government has

tried to do," said Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks, an

outspoken opponent of the proposal.

It would require farms or ranches with more than 25 dairy cows, 50 beef

cattle or 200 hogs to pay an annual fee of about $175 for each dairy cow,

$87.50 per head of beef cattle and $20 for each hog . . . .

I heard this theory about 30 years ago and wondered why there wasn't all

that pollution from the herds of millions of bison on the plains at the

time. It's just the gummint looking for ways to generate a little money. If

they want to stop pollution, they have to look at what people are doing/have

done to the atmosphere.

As far as that goes, what about all the gaseous emmisions from people? Are

they gonna start charging us for that?

i can see it now, police handing out tickets for flatulence all across

amerika. busting down doors of those charged with ~extreme~

flatulence (watch out wavy g!!!! run!!!). itll make prohibition of

pot look like parking tickets in comparison.
