Go into africa, plant the hell out of the place with corn and whatever else. Pay the locals to do the work, which allows them to develop infrastructure and bring up their quality of life, export the fuel. Domesitc crop production remains, you get the corn syrup fuel and your helping solve africas problems....

Forgetting the enviromental aspect. More crops mean more rainforest that will be cut down, other then that it's great idea

Then you have the desert that is already there in africa

Well yeah, just need to be able to grow something there heh, but I'm no expert in growing things so I'll just go to the corner and be quiet about that

they tried planting crops and stuff in africa Mike, and the ruleing class killed some of the farmers and stole their land giving it to their buddies and sold the equipment as scrap.




and ya can thank the politicians for and stupid people for what is happening in the US, that is why when this government was set up only those who owned buisnesses and land could vote for they hada a claim and had something to lose, and then those who hadnt any claim was allowed to vote and then women, and all they gota do is promise more to those who have not and security to the women and they get most of the vote.

what the colonialist thought was rite, but no form of government is safe from those who want to dominate everything and gain more power.



but ill tell ya how stupid most are, it is some of the daily comuters, they drive to work and then complain to the government to help them pay for gas and other thing, not even knowing that the money they get is taken from them in taxes, they cant see that, that is why they stoped paying people in cash, if ya dont see the money ya dont miss the money so most just go on thinking it all great.

if only it were that easy... we could also just learn how to extract oil from shale and we wouldn't be having this problem. At least, not for a very, very long time. Even Australia has a large ammout of shale oil.

Here is a good chart on gas prices:

$4.00 aint so bad.

I don't care about the cost of gas. I just care about the future of our fuel. I don't want to trade one bad thing for another, like E85, what a joke. Not only does your gas cost the same (cheaper gas but less per mile) but the price of foods (anyone buy corn or bread?) have also went up because of it.

I remember about 2 years ago diesel was supposed to be good because it was cheaper so alot of people bought diesel cars.. last I was it was $1.50 more then gas.

What ever happened to that water powered car??

So who wants to move to Venezuela? .19 cents US a gallon lol

And i know where i WONT be moving anytime soon - Sierra Leone - $18.43 US LOL

It just angers me at the greed these people have. They have to force other poor people to suffer. Stupid humans.
