There are other agricultural alternatives to corn ethanol. If we come up

Who do you think controls most of the farming? You are just trading
Exxon for ADM but you can bet your ass Exxon would still be right in
the middle of it.

It doesn't have to be that way. We don't have to be under the thumb of
huge corporations. I've stated several times that we need a major
restructuring in this country, one that "rebalances" our economy so that
it works for middle and lower income workers and families. I don't know
whether that rebalancing will come about peacefully.

In a future political climate it may be possibly to restrict the
development and sale of alternative energy sources to small corporations
or not-for-profit entities.

In our lives here, we're not particularly restricted by governmental
rules and regulations. The impact of large corporations is a negative in
almost everything, and large corporations have their thumbs on almost
everything.

We've got to get rid of "corporate uber alles," or this won't be a
country worth living in.

As long as people still go to WalMart and let their local stores die,
you will not change the model. It is not WalMart per se but just the
mentality that a lower price trumps all else. You can say all you want
about the evils of corporate America but it is pretty much undisputed
that they bring us "Market driven quality" at a lower price than mom
and pop could ever do. Both are cheaper than if the government does it
although most of the government price is hidden in taxes so they can
make things look like they are free.

BTW I watched two interesting movies on the NetFlix streamer last
night
WalMart, the high cost of a low price and Maxed Out.

Since the 1980s, it seems, the so-called "free market" has not been
serving us with its credo of no real taxes on the wealthy, no real
regulation, no real government.

"Market driven quality" is no quality at all.
