And the advent of growing millions of tons of extra corn to turn into ethanol 
isn't going to help matters one bit! Corn is such a heavy feeder and we know 
what it will be eating and the soil poverty it will be leaving behind. It's 
really like robbing Peter to pay Paul, but typical of 'addicted' behavior; no 
thought really of anything beyond the continued flow of the substance we love so 
much. We need an intervention! Anyone else read Asimov's Childhood's End? We 
can hope, because that's what it's apparently going to take to change our 
wicked ways!

Sorry for wandering off topic :-/>.
