I really think that we are facing a growing problem here. Every year we develop more of our farmland as the population of this planet continues to increase. How long before we have more people than we can feed?

  So what you're saying is we need population controls. Say we stop sending food to the poor. Let African, Asian and Central American nations die off. Wow once again we have the libs acting like the Nazis.
  You want to lower food prices, stop pouring corn into your gas tanks. Besides the environmental disasters, which ethanol waste really is, it's a hugely inefficient fuel. To get one gallon of ethanol requires at least 5 gallons of fossil fuel. No mater how liberal you are, even you can understand that doesn't make sense. That plus when you burn ethanol it actually reduces you standard mileage by the same percentage as the amount of ethanol. 10% ethanol means you lose 10% in mileage. It's a terrible scam the left pushed.

  So in order to reduce the population you're in favor of mass genocide through starvation. Then again the Nazis favored murder too.
  You want farmland used less, stop trying to jam corn into my gas tank. It's a terrible product that requires much more energy than it will ever produce. It reduces your mileage and is very damaging to your car. That plus it takes around 5 gallons of fossil fuel to make and ship 1 gallon of ethanol. Even for liberals can figure out this isn't a good deal. Then again we're talking about liberals.
