Thus innovation by fiat is not truly innovation? Using the example of mandated ethanol content in fuel and the subsequent havoc it's played on food prices, I'd say you're right.

There will, and should always be, people exploring just beyond the known and accepted limits of reality. The incentive is capitalism. As capitalism is weakened so is exploration and invention. Unfortunately, the more we become a nanny-state-country the more we weaken capitalism. And, typically, Democrats tend to pass more nanny laws. I think you can see where our beloved country is currently headed. Jim in Tucson In a message dated 6/23/2008 1:50:38 A.M.

This is because we tend to accept what we hear from authorities, or those whose opinions we've accepted as infallible or likely to be valid. In many cases this is acceptable, but when we close our eyes and say "It can't be done" merely because we don't think that it can be done based on our knowledge today, we ignore possible potential so that we may feel secure in our programmed beliefs. Perhaps my suggestion is completely "out of line" with current reality. Should we be content to pay through the nose for contemporary sources of power or fuel, because they are here now and because we feel safe with those sources? I don't think so. Idea Development, folks... We don't know what may be accomplished until we try it, and the more development allowed, the more knowledge we gain. If you think my suggestion is silly, ridiculous, or totally absurd, well, that's okay. Time will tell. Jerry aka LGO Gas prices getting you down?
