Cool, Mr Bill. Cyprus must be a great place especially now since there are people with some common sense running the island paradise. The communists are too smart. They won't allow Lebanese water to be trucked to any reservoirs. Neither will the Lebanese. Rationing is the only smart play. Anyone complaining needs to SHUT THEIR TRAP!
Yikes!!! I just saw a Chevy Silverado SUV/pickup commercial on CNBC. Spokesperson tells the viewers the monstrous vehicle is a vegetarian because it only burns ethanol. A bunch of school kids are listening intently. Learning.
What he failed to point out is the truck burns people too. GM needs to think about what they're saying and SHUT UP with pushing their hideous people eating SUV's.

Don't forget, too, that although that beast might get 14 mpg on regular dinosaur bones, it will only get about 11 mpg on human food-based fuel.
GM should definitely take its old school industrial soiled trap full of decaying manufacturing teeth and inefficient gums and ZIP IT.

Essentially, it burns people BT. I suppose one could calculate how many calories truck consumed at 4 gallons/day. And how many calories a person consumed each day. You could easily calculate how many people this truck eats.
Let me take a stab at it:
If one gallon of ethanol exists because it has displaced 15 days worth (for a person) of calories, and a 100% ethanol burning Silverado uses 1,460 gallons each year, then each typical Silverado consumes 21,900 people-days of calories. 21,900/365...
Therefore each 100% ethanol-burning Silverado kills about 60 people/yr. Not bad. If the same truck used 10% ethanol it would only kill six people/yr. That means a car burning one gallon/day of 10% ethanol kills only 1.5 people/yr. Someone burning two gallons of 10% ethanol/day would kill only 3 people/yr... etc.
Maybe I need to SHUT UP and quit [s]killing[/s] driving!

And you're not even counting the pedestrians who get run down when the SUV pilot takes the beast "off-road"--i.e., onto the sidewalk.

This business really upsets me. You have made an exquisite point here, Commie. Hopefully it won't take other people long to connect the dots. But it remains to be seen whether the fat, lazy 'Merican has enough real "Christian Values" in him/her to give up the Denali for starving Haitians who are making mud pies to eat.
The SUV ads are using the same Orwell speak that our dear administration is using. They all need to Shut UP.

See I made this point on another thread.
YOU (by that I mean each of us tapping away here) consume way more corn by way of bacon, burger, chicken breast, beer, brie and all the rest than goes into ethanol.
So I'd think the best thing to do if one is worried about starving people is to
GET OFF THE ETHANOL-BASHING WAGON AND SHUT YOUR CORN HOLES!

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

I know you're not talking to me because I'm a vegetarian non-drinker. If you were talking to me you know what I would tell you.
And it's not 'way more' corn being squandered on meat and booze, because 38% of the corn grown in the USA ended up in gas tanks in 2007 and in 2008 it will likely be closer to half.
So check the stats first Pops or Zip Your Corn Hole
