Hey, aren't you feeling good about running your pick-up truck on ethanol?
If you weren't pumping that corn-based ethanol into your gas tank a family of campesinos would be eating the corn!
But what the heck, at least you're doing your part to combat global warming.
Besides, one way of cutting down on the number of surplus campesinos is to stop feeding them. I know it's a hard choice, but who really deserves that corn more; that starving family or your truck?
Corn-based ethanol was a no-brainer from the get-go. No- brainer in the sense that you'd have to be retarded and then some if you think diverting food crops for automotive fuel isn't going to mess with global commodity markets.
Food is just another commodity of course.
Ironically, corn alcohol never had a chance without gigantic government subsidies. So we the taxpayer subsidize the ethanol producers so that starving people with no jobs can pay more for their staples.
But we're doing something good for the planet?
If we could just add a carbon tax into the mix this could be the climax of Al Gore's wet dream.
We've known all along that feeding corn to cars couldn't be good for people. But now the rest of the world has figured it out...
My God, now they'll hate us because we're trying to do something about global warming!
