There was a work of fiction about that back in the 1970’s. I read a review of the book then and someone on FR mentioned it a few years back. I don't remember the name of the book.

America is not responsible for the food supply of the whole dam world. These people must be responsible for their own food supply. We should make our ethanol decision based on our own economics(which by itself would mean we stop producing ethanol), not the third world food supply.

I have a number of Haitian friends.
Of those Haitians that I am familiar with, I consider myself fortunate to even know them at all.
I have my own ideas (criticisms) about just how my political representatives should behave, but I have no such criticisms of my Haitian acquaintances.
My friends are workers, and they en masse seem to be completely disinterested in social welfare programs as a lifestyle choice.

Yet, Haiti has much in common with Zimbabwe.

We should make our ethanol decision based on our own economics(which by itself would mean we stop producing ethanol), not the third world food supply.The ethanol mandates have failed miserably. Wait till it reaches 36 billion gallon required by 2022. We are now committed to 9 billion gallons for 2008. It won't be long until consumers begin to put 2 and 2 together. If you think we shouldn't care about global food prices, and let the rest of the world be damn, just wait till these people come knocking on our doorsteps and tell me how you feel then.

H3ll with them. THey should be making their own food anyway. Maybe this will pressure them enough to overthrow their pathetic governments and build a real country of their own.

Haiti is a lost cause. Its folks are uneducated and filled with superstitious voodoo inspired fear.
Killing and lawlessness is the norm.
