Voices: Gas or food



The higher food prices get, the more money you save when you don’t eat. You can spend the extra savings on high price gasoline.

George Bush said producing ethanol from gasoline would make oil prices go down. This is the first law of Iowa primary politics, and both parties use it.

He should have said, the more ethanol we produce, the higher food prices will get. If we can get the price high enough, we will be able to afford oil at $500 a barrel with the money we save, if we don’t eat.

Can we extract hydrogen from water without breaking the second law of thermodynamics? The second law of thermodynamics prohibits perpetual motion. When God made the moon orbit the earth perpetually he broke the law by not using heat.

What would happen to the Shiite Persian “great Satan” haters and the Shiite Persian “God curse America” haters if we left Iraq suddenly? Ambassador Crocker says they would shoot each other. The best part about that is we wouldn’t have to do it for them, and since they received $70 billion in oil revenue last year, they should be able to afford to buy their bullets from us.
