Subject: Ethanol Being Used To Create Global Food Monopoly?

I'm all for using ethanol, but this by law should be made from weeds.
One man said you could raise industrial hemp, which grows as a weed.
This will grow on marginal land not suited for agriculture. It grows
into a big plant fast and 1% of our land could create enough ethanol
to make us self sufficient. But what they're doing is turning 60% of
the corn produced in Iowa in 200 plants into ethanol with government
subsidies. This has already doubled the price of corn flakes and is
already creating a food shortage around the world. You have to have
some common sense, people. That's why we need to return to having
someone smart in the White House again like Barack Obama or Hillary
Clinton or Al Gore and not someone like Bush or McCain who barely
graduated college because they were out partying and drinking night
after night. See http://whtt.org/index.php?news=2&id=2017
