if we want to live like third-world peasants. We are headed in that direction.
More sad hysteria > " horrendous and totally uncontrolled pollution caused by ethanol >production" > You are not even aware it exists. Amazing - and now you're a mind reader > >Jobs in rural areas that also reduce oil dependence are important If your purpose is to steal money from taxpayers and give it to unemployed rural people, why not be honest and simply put them on welfare? They will do far less damage to the land and the economy if we simply pay them off, rather than paying them off to waste a few hundred million barrels of oil. More hysteria Giving people real work does give them dignity and purpose in life, but I do not think it helps to give people pretend make-work in a government boondoggle like ethanol. In any case, they might as well admit that all they are doing is stealing from the rest of us. Frankly, those people should be ashamed to accept the money. They should be forced to jump through rings and surrender their assets and self-respect, the way urban welfare cases are. Both "they " and their representatives in Congress seem quite happy
