More on ethanol crisis

Hold me back!! I am so angry!! I just read that "the only reason growing corn for ethanol is profitable is because of government subsidies"!!! That means the dollars you pay in taxes are creating a phony industry of ethanol production. No one would be involved in it if tax payers weren't funding it. Do people want to use fast-evaporating ethanol in their cars? Not many. Do people want to pay U.S. farmers to grow corn, not to feed Americans, but to feed Archer Daniels Midland's moneybag? (ADM is the power behind all this nonsense.) And then you pay how much in taxes per gallon of gas/ethanol? Lord help me! It's time for another Boston Tea Party. Maybe a corn party. Maybe everyone should buy popping corn, take it home, pop up a garbage bag full and carry it to your local statehouse and dump the popcorn in front of the building. If they had to wade through piles of popcorn to get to their limos, maybe they would at least notice that people are upset. Maybe not....
