Which brings up something that occurred to me the other day: the environmental wackos who worship at the altar of globaloney warming are the same folks who buy their food at the sticks and twigs organic stores. They don't care what their schemes do to food prices or other items for that matter because they're already paying high prices to shop in those stores. (I like going in them myself, but only for a few items. If I only did my food buying there, I'd look like one of the Olsen twins minus the billion or so in the bank.)
People who pay so much more than the average person pays for food are not going to care or even understand that burning corn instead of eating it raises food prices. They are the last people who should be advising the rest of us on how it's worth the extra cost to save the planet, the whales, and spotted owls wearing Che t-shirts and berets.
” People who pay so much more than the average person pays for food are not going to care or even understand that burning corn instead of eating it raises food prices. “
Right on. And don’t worry so much about the increased cost to the rest of normal America. Contemplate the impact on truly poor third world countries where the cost of wheat and rice has risen in some caes by 100%. We’re not talking about financial burden, but starvation. Liberals do not care about the consequences of their acitons, only about how their actions make them feel about themselves.
