...
On a serious note...

A friend on facebook sent me the message about BioDiesel.
It's worth Sharing

"Hi Sam,
The biodiesal that is mentioned, is it the the ethonal/corn fuel?

Just a note if it is, it is damaging our environment, polluting the water, it adds pesticides, herbacides and chemical fertilizers to our world. It takes so much from the environment and gives very, very very little back in benefits. The agri lobby groups (rich corporations) are promoting it for their own profits. It is subsidized by the US gov. giving an unfair advantage to big farm (small farmers can't get subsidies, ie, family farms). As a Senetor reported last week, monoculture (1 crop farms) are consuming most of the good farming land. And, if evey American were to eat the required amount of fruits and veggies they are supposed to, the US couldn't supply them. They do not grow enough fresh produce in US to supply its population, corn and soya, used in fuel and processed foods, have taken over much of the land. Beef farming is another one of those extremely large farms that dot the US country side, and Canada.

Thought you should know.

Good luck on the ride!!,

Well first off, thanks for the comment. .. I did a little research and did find where the source of the info was. .. iGoogle is pritty cool, as it shows the latest news that you want to read.

So we begin my rebuttle with the comment "Well, high gas prices are a good thing, because it encourages growth and technology and inovation.. in ALL sectors'

So how does this compare to the price of tea in china?
.. Or the gas price in Ireland?

Well, lets start off with the fundementals.
... Food (as we know it) ... Lets choose Corn. ..
Before the invention of the plow, corn was planted by hand and cultivated by hand. (it's probably done somewhere in the world today). ... and crop yealds go up... with technology and inovation. Weath is Physical Resources times Technology (W=P*T) .. then it's times N, which is the system in place to make it all work. .... Walmart vs. local store. So we add in W=(P*T)n
Source: Google "weath equals physical resources times technology" ... "Unlimited Wealth: The Theory and Practice of Economic Alchemy ... Amazon.com: Reviews for Unlimited Wealth: The Theory and Practice ...In a time, where we were once worried about oil reserves, hydrogen fuel ... Where (W) equals wealth, (P) equals physical resources, (T) equals technology, ...
... and wiki "wealth" agrees.

The to the power of N... for me that makes sence. .. as it's a system.. perhaps government... which puts caps and taxes on income generated.
..

Ok. .. So the argument about food prices. ... well, my theory is; Is that if gas price was changed to being a bad thing like cigerets... and should be taxed because they do worse than smoking.
... If as was high, thats incentives for automakers to build cars which are more and more efficient. .. and for space shules to be more effient. .. and more airtplanes to be more efficient.
... Making Gas price high that people cant afford it anymore.... Well?

THATS THE IDEA!!!
You make gas expencive, like putting cigeretts in your car... you might as well roll 5 euro notes.... thats just blowing smoke.

As you probably know, in the joke of the day ents.... 1/2 the sennet are fools. (technically, they have invested interest in the oil companies, inwhich large contracts are set in place based on their actions) ... short term profit. fiscle responsibility? ... Does that mean their only responsable for their term in office? .. and what happens later doesnt matter?

Just likein Canada, with KYOTO.... the USA Clean air act cant be signed. .. as it costs (up front to much money) .... people in the cozey large vehicles that use gas like ciguretts... are gonna has to quit smoking, because it's killing those people in the 3rd world nations who are going hungery from all the crops being usup to make BioDiesel? ...
That doesnt make sence.
Im working to make the use of oil an old world resource, and let smart people, and those other countries know that Canada and USA are both ready and willing to sacrifice (a super high cost of gas) .. to quite smoking gas. ...
.. and start breathing clean air. ... Powered by Wind Power/Solar ... (hey dont think that.... ) remember unlimited resources. .. unlimited potential. ... and feums from the purist BioDiesel is much nicer. ...

So the botton line is here folks.
You have the solution. ... Dont wait for gas to go up (to much political pressure to keep it down, so the smokers and enjoy it). .. But it's smart people inovation. (Like the iPod, who knew we'd all NEED and ipod?) ... commercials and adds, and your friends told you so.
So enjoy your walk. ... and bike ride.
... and for Google sake, OBAY THE LITTLE MAN!

Cheers,
Sam
