Quoting: Cornonthecobb 429261It makes me want to kick the assholes farmers that got the whole idiotic ethanol idea going. somehow i doubt that farmers came up with that idea i expect nothing less from our government to purchase vehicles that end up using more gas my only hope is the fat cats who got the kick backs didn't abuse too many children while spending our tax money overseas "By way of deception, thou shalt do war."

Quoting: maluIt makes me want to kick the assholes farmers that got the whole idiotic ethanol idea going. somehow i doubt that farmers came up with that idea Maybe you are right. The farmers sure didn't come up with the idea of introducing wolves which are now decimating sheep and cattle herds. It was the idiot ivory tower intellectuals that came up with that brilliant idea and I'm sure the intellectuals never worked on a sheep or cattle ranch. Corn should be eaten not burned as fuel. I just googeled ethanol and I found some good news. It looks like some people with common sense are creating ethanol out of crops that are ALREADY poison like beer [link to www.bizjournals.com] and sugar [link to www.kansascity.com] to make ethanol out of corn when people can't afford to buy wheat and corn and rice for their children is criminal in my mind. . |

Ethanol is a shit fuel. It diminishes mileage, destroys vital vehicle parts, and pollutes the air with SMOG. The corn industry is subsidized by the GovernCorp, and the corn lobby has pushed for ethanol (it helps their bottom line, dontcha know). Laws and regulations demand ethanol blends now. Thus, the ethanol blend is FORCED upon us while our tax dollars are stolen from us and handed to BIG-AG as subsidies. Sometimes, don't you just feel like a child's toy...a top? The pull string is attached to my wallet in my hip pocket, and every time those sumbeeches pull that damned string I get spun around so much I get dizzy and I'm too disoriented to know they just picked my pocket...AGAIN. PS: we watched a great documentary last week that I recommend... "KING CORN" Now I'm trying to find a source for range fed beef. LOL!!! |

He asked me the price in my area, which at the time was 3.17 vs 3.83 regular gas, So he said it would make it pretty much a wash, but better for the enviorment:) |
