David, you say that in order to get the full sense of environmental effects that
you have to calculate in all the ancillary aspects of ethanol production. Did you
not know and understand that gasoline and diesel fuel production also have
ancillary aspects that affect the environment? Do you think that gasoline just
comes straight out of the ground and goes right into the fuel pumps at filling
stations all around America and the world? Didn't you know that crude oil,
gasoline, and diesel fuel also have to be hauled from point to point to point to
point?
And didn't you know that America has engaged in several wars to defend the
oil industry around the world, and that these wars have cost us hundreds of
thousands of lives in addition to untold environmental damage? Talk about
emissions that really add up!
You may feel I have been nasty in how I have communicated this information
to you. However, all I did was to match your tone. In order for you to have
gone out of your way to put together so many conspicuous lies and exaggerated statements is a terribly nasty deed. All things considered, I think I've actually been very kind to you.
Please respond. Please offer additional nonsense that you know nothing
about. And please do share this letter with Richard Rahn and all your contacts
