He showed me his feed bill for his milk cows and beef cattle - he's paying twice what he paid last year and he can't hedge because his suppliers fully expect it to double again before spring. He's seriously thinking of cutting back on his herd because even though beef prices are rising, he can't afford the same size herd because he can't feed them economically. Maybe he should feed them grain instead. Ethanol hasn't anything to do with global warming. The business of farm subsidies is what pushes corn and ethanol. It's a boondogle, creating ethanol is a net loss when considering what it takes to produce a gallon of fuel. Speaking of which, growing cows is stupid too. Costs to produce a pound of beef are enormous in comparison to most other foods, not to mention that it's sucking up the US aquifer, poisoning crops and people through uncontrolled runoff, etc. Can't blame it all on Gore, but I'm sure you'd like to. |

Better keep it away from open flame or your head could do what you're hoping happens to Hillary's. ;^) Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing that either. I'd like to see if America is ready to have (what it perceives as) a black man in the white house. Wonder if he'd have the balls to do something about campaign finance reform and getting the lobbyists the hell out of washington (during the time he's repairing our sullied world image and setting us on a better course). |

AFAIC, this statement is within the statistical mean average of the bulk of my statements, forgiving a few explitives here and there. |
