Die Ethanol, Die!

There is an article in todays NYT online that says ethanol is in trouble.

But unfortunately I cant get a link to post.

Wishful thinking. I hate the 10% blend myself, but it is also terrible how it affects so many people, but that is the nature of business...tech will possibly drive it to extinction or irreverence like what happened to AOL.

music to my ears. Using ethanol for fuel is idiotic. Worse gas mileage, higher price, and higher commodity prices. There is zero good about ethanol from corn being used as fuel.

Can't wait for common sense to come back in vogue, and replace the idiocy that seems so popular today.

with us is one thing. But idiocy being much more popular than thinking? People choosing idiocy over thinking? People going as far as possible out of their way to not think?

It is almost like people are being bred to be morons.

I agree. At least you live in MA....you have more than your share of rude, self absorbed people who come, IMO, to the wrong conclusions when they think. But, IMO, you have a higher percentage of people who think (vs idiocy) than a lot of other states. The only reason I care and that this upsets me is that too many sheeple = leads to the government being able to take advantage of a huge majority of the population, including many people who aren't part of the sheeple.
