… Just as it’s ethically wrong to burn grain to power a Cadillac, while people starve for food.

Questions for you:

Do you still live at home with your parents?

Do you have a job?

Have you ever been to a garage sale?

Have you ever had one?

When you're old enough to drive, what kind of car/truck will you choose?

Should the dealer just give you one because he has so many?

Have you ever had to sacrifice for anything you wanted?

Have you ever been hungry? I'm not talking about when your mommy had to go to work early and didn't make you breakfast hungry. I'm talking ‘hungry’ like you didn't have enough money for food for a day or two.

Have you ever bought something in hopes of selling it for more than you invested?
Example: Your baseball card collection, your Transformers, Pokeman glasses from Burger King, your first edition Harry Potter books and your cherished Dungeons and Dragons game. You get the idea.

I could go on forever with the questions, but it's early and I have things to do.....like go to work.

The owner of the storage units lost out on 4-6 months of rent. He has to pay liability insurance, fire insurance, security fees, fences, cameras, maintenance and repairs, PROPERTY TAXES, SCHOOL TAXES, an accountant, payroll, light bills, phones, advertising etc. Should he do all this for free?

Man up, my little FReeper friend. Contrary to what your Socialist teachers at public school taught you, the world doesn't owe you squat. No room for Socialists here, Java4Jay.

Move along.

Just as it’s ethically wrong to burn grain to power a Cadillac, while people starve for food.

Neither shall you covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, or field, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.

One small point;
The corn that is used to produce ethanol is not consumable as food. It is a whole different type of corn than what one buys at the local market for food. You can try it but you wouldn't like it very much. Granted, it beats starving but it really isn't a palatable option.
