The biofuels, and their effect on food production were a seperate discussion. You want to give that moron a medal for that conclusion? It's a given: if corn is used for a non-food purpose, there will be less corn for food. Duh. And no, I don't support corn based ethanol subsidies. You're getting soft in your old age. I don't support corn based corn subsidies, corn fed beef, beef fed beef and lots of other it-seemed- like-a-good-idea-at-the-time idiocies. Could I get you to support killing piggies and destroying crops? Such policies grow the middle class. If you're talking about killing my toes, no. If you're talking about reducing the cultivated biomass, yes. Too many people anyway. Could I get you to support "old"-age retirement benefits? You know, if less people are producing, then more will be produced. That will grow the middle class. You could get me to support Logan's Run-esque culling of the naked ape herd. Less is more, you know. You're telling this to a group of bike racing dweebs, whose idea of physical perfection looks much like it walked out of Auschwitz, and who obsess over extra grams of weight on their bikes? Why? R |

So I'm not sure why you're awarding the medal... Tom's not always wrong, but he too frequently adopts a shotgun approach. Throws a whole bunch of arguments out at once, then switches back and forth between them. Every month or so, Bill comes across something that validates one of Tom's thousands of arguments. Then he gets confused and thinks it validates them all. Or something, I don't get it. |

Kun-Kun claimed that greenies wanted to fight global warming by taking drastic measures that would genocidally kill off many people in the third world. Eventually, I think he explained that this would happen because greenies - biofuels - increase in crop prices. Since biofuels are neither a serious proposed solution to global warming nor particularly beloved by greenies anymore (ADM, Supermarket to the World likes them though), this had an definite whiff of the Chewbacca Defense. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b...b7886166c64ad1 http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b...b7a46983dcaf1c Ben |

Biofuels, when not derived from waste product, are an abomination and an insult to humanity. The idea that it's more important to feed our cars than our mouths... what could be more absurd? And not only do the economics not work out, but it's tough to show that you're actually gaining energy too, after you factor in everything that goes into growing crops. But as you say, what does this have to do with awarding points to TK? His attitude is simply that global warming itself is a myth. The only reason he'd care about biofuels is if it puts cheaper gas into his tank. Not that there's anything wrong with that concept, to a point. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com You guys are so full of crap and yourselves! HE SAID... (and I agreed) "This biofuels **** is gonna take all the corn the USA gives to feed the worlds hungry and they are gonna starve!!!" |

The rest of the world is going to plow under their crops, plant corn and make ethanol and starve themselves. That should take some of the guilt off of the fat white guys and put it on some fat black guys. I feel ever so much better! R |

R- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The biofuels, and their effect on food production were a seperate discussion. snip Dumbass - You want to give that moron a medal for that conclusion? thanks, K. Gringioni. Nah, I want to give a Bill Engvall "Here's your sign." to all the folks who argued he was an idiot for even suggesting it might be a problem. It's pretty rare when TK is right on the money, but he could point out that the road we're riding on is basically black, and usually rational folks would line up to say he's wrong. I was in the "We'll have to see camp, I'm not sure." because historically the problem has not been a lack of food, it's been one of distribution, transport, and politics. I'm still not sure that ethanol is sucking off enough of the excess production (Our govt. is still paying folks to NOT grow crops) to cause a disaster. I'd guess a much bigger problem is the cost spikes due to the cost of oil. Modern farming, and transport, is incredibly dependent on petroleum and it's price. It's easier to go after biofuels than the folks producing the oil, and the huge national taxes most places that are on top of that. Bill C |
