Common Ground

Sometimes the anti-governmental attitude of the conservative intersect with the bean-counting of the liberal. One such case is ethanol. This is a boondoggle largely based on pandering to the good farmers in the Midwest.
It would be great if ethanol derived from corn could be a realistic alternative fuel - but it isn't. It isn't even environmentally friendly as a substitute for gasoline as it costs more energy to produce than it ultimately releases as kinetic energy for your car.
I mention this because I heard Rush Limbaugh a couple of weeks ago railing against ethanol as another example of a bad governmental policy based on the global warming hoax. Also, today Paul Krugman condemns "demon ethanol" as one of the bad policies that are exasperating the dangerous world wide trend toward higher food prices.
I hope we can unite conservatives and liberals when we agree, even if it is for opposing reasons, to change or prevent unsound policies.
