Retarded Logic - Oil subsidy is less subsidized than corn subsidy so therefore using Oil in my gas guzzler makes me free-er.
Yes, your logic is retarded. The first step is acknowledging the problem, congratulations.
I don't believe in subsidies at all.

And correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the combustion system we have now can't operate steadily on pure ethanol, if it has too much sugar which doesn't get "cut " by any petroleum based additive the injectors and cylinders will gum up especially at the lower combustion temps. This was talk from a few years ago I had with a local High School teacher that builds cars that run on any oil based product used motor oil, McDonalds old fry oil really any kind. But he has done major piston and injector work on them.because of the lower temp. Plus the epa. would bury him in a hazardous waste site I'm sure as the cars smoke like old Mack Trucks going up hill.
They are engineering better engines all the time, including ethanol based ones, but your general premise is correct.
