But, there is a shortage in acres planted of rice. This year farmers are growing corn and soy beans for the fuel. The price of gas didn't go up during the last six weeks. The value of the dollar dropped. Can you say, INFLATION. You may wonder why this obscene tax was levied on those with fixed incomes? Why has there been no attempt to cut spending of military dollars in parts of the world that our military isn't even in? Why has welfare tripled this year. Not welfare for people, but welfare for corporations. We deposit billions of dollars into numbered swiss bank accounts and it comes under "foreign aid". Will anyone ask these questions at a presidential debate?

The recent media coverage has created a bit of a panic and now Rice is flying off the shelves -- not to mention that some stores are elevating the price to take advantage of the hysteria. BJ's (a store like Sam's Club) was completely sold out this afternoon. According to the president of the rice growers Association, the silos are full and there is no shortage here. We really need leadership, and not tomorrow. Quadius On 4/25/08, Stacy Harim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Have you watched the news? It is. Sams, Cosco, etc are limiting how much rice you can buy b/c of food shortages resulting from rising food costs. Ethanol is making corn, flour, wheat, rice, etc more expensive and then it transfers over to dairy and meats because those animals eat feed. Can you imagine when more people are driving cars fueled by ethanol where we will be with groceries. Stacy ________________________________ Need a new ride?
