Welcome to the beginning of the End

OK what else needs be said? We are on our final descent into a a third world, second rate shit hole. Don't believe me? Take a look around, Jack. Prices are going up. Majorly. Like they did under Carter. Remember? Double digit inflation and home loans? Tripling gas prices? And it was all our fault, according to him and his party! And it's not just gas but everything else too, because of gas. Why? Ethanol. Algore and these other stupid eco freaks thought, Golly, what a great idea! We'll grow our own gas! And what will we use? Not soybeans (which convert easily to use in diesel engines with very little processing) Not sugar beets (which yield the highest sugars for alcohol conversion) Not switch grass (which grows anywhere, has high yield and isn't a food staple!) Lets use CORN! It makes a cute little visual doesn't it? Everyone loves corn! That's the problem, IT'S A FOOD STAPLE YOU IDIOTS! What the hell were you thinking? We EAT corn. And not just as a veggie. Cereal. High fructose corn syrup. Snack foods. Corn for tortillas is in short supply causing problems south of the border already. Corn feeds the livestock we eat. So where do the prices go? Damn betcha. But it gets even more stupid. Corn is hard on farmland requiring lots of water and fertilizer chemicals to grow. Corn is one of the most inefficient sources for making ethanol with the highest cost of production. Any hillbilly moonshiner could tell you that. Then why corn? Politics and money. Call your congress critter and tell them to look for alternatives to corn. Renewable energy doesn't have to be expensive or painful. Why do we have to sacrifice when there's no need? The energy is there. Just get government and the self-loathing eco nuts out of the way so we can get it.
