My Marine was telling me he heard the UN DEMANDED we not use corn for fuel this year due to our drought situation, because we don’t have enough extra food to give to the starving world.
Hate to be mean, but-times are hard. Sorry about the “starving world”, but there are people in need right here, and they should come first. Besides, I can remember hearing that “starving world” stuff from my very early childhood, and I’ll bet just about everyone else here can, too. It wasn’t always the same place or people-children in Africa, Laos, China-starving people in Biafra, Bangladesh, Haiti (that one is at least mostly true), and just about every other 3d world country-but we should always feel guilty and give lots of money because people were surely starving somewhere...
