I run E-85 ethanol in my car. Does it pollute as bad as gas? Sure, of course it does. Why wouldn't it? The difference is, the money for ethanol goes back into my local economy. The corn is grown here, the fuel is processed and sold here, locally. It doesn't go to these oil oligarchs.

And for those who whine, "but the price of corn", remember, the price of corn hasn't gone up in 40 or more years. Don't you think you local farmers need the price of corn to go up? Do you want to work for 40 years without a raise, without even keeping up with inflation?

	For just an instant, have a glimpse, a vision, of life through my eyes. It is a staggeringly joyous perspective, a view of how each person's choices can make their own life better. It is a vision of the possible, of how things can and should be.
