I disagree that ethanol is a poke in the eye to OPEC. It is, rather, a poke in the eye and and insult to people who are capable of intelligent thought and discourse, which differs astronomically from our so-called central government nut-cases.

I represent farmers who wish to sell their business products in whatever manner they deem fit. OPEC clearly does not want the competition.
