29. I am sickened by your desire to see Americans die to protect Exxon-Mobil's profits.

Ethanol is the best technology we have to reduce our imports of oil and thereby increase our energy security and our national security. Even just achieving a 10% reduction if oil imports will strengthen our position by making us less vulnerable to an oil supply disruption. Thus protected from up to a 10% supply interuption we will be less likely to commit troops so readily to secure oil supplies - reducing the risk to our men and women in uniform.

But you don't want that. You argue against ethanol and thus help to put our troops in greater jeopardy. As I say, I am sickened by your desire to see Americans die for Exxon-Mobils bottom line.

I prefer to reduce the risk to our troops by reducing our vulnerability to an oil supply disruption. The quickest way to do that (along with conservation - good luck getting people to agree to that) is with ethanol. While others debate conservation measures we can be building ethanol production and we will be that much better off for it.

Stop arguing for our troops to die for Exxon-Mobil, et al, I find it sickening, and immoral.

I realize you like to say things just to get a reaction out of people who ordinarily would not notice you were there. Such is your life. THat of an internet stalker. It allows you to enjoy forcing an interchange between yourself and those who would ordinarily ignore you (except perhaps to laugh at you). So be it.

Just stop your arguing to kill more Americans for oil. Ethanol can reduce our vulnerability to an oil supply reduction and increase our energy security and our national security - and thereby reduce the likelihood that more Americans will die for oil in the future.
