Or, you know: let the market determine which poison is the nicest, without the government telling us which one it wants us to have.

I'm starting to withdraw from the notion that we shouldn't make fuel out of corn or soy: if those fuels will make money, we can grow more of 'em, and feed people at the same time. The critical issue is figuring out which fuels take less land—and energy—to "produce."
