Think so? Maybe, in this world, it's everyone for themselves. Maybe people everywhere, just don't know any better.

You think? Maybe this year of shortage will cause a re thinking of the idiotic process of using corn based ethanol. Unfortunately a very large industry has grown up around this, based on subsidies (supported by both parties) and what was an abundant supply of cheap corn. This includes feedlots that feed the distillers grain bi products from the ethanol manufacturing process.

I hope it does. Maybe this year's drought will serve some useful purpose...
