Obama blindly supports anhydrous ethanol

Neither presidential campaign seem to represent themselves as playing roles in getting us to where their American dreams for us have a chance of coming true. If they do, they're keeping their plans secret but I can't imagine why. From what I understand, the debate coming up in a couple days will focus on Obama's ties to Bill Ayers and ACORN. I swear if I didn't know better, I would think all four candidates for the White House have been skipping to the back pages of the newspapers they read to find the stories about themselves while missing the front pages altogether. I wonder if they'll still be talking about getting us out of this depression using anhydrous ethanol when we can't afford to buy crude oil to make gasoline from anymore (McCain supports anhydrous ethanol made from cellulose without federal mandates or subsidies. But anhydrous ethanol made from any source is still an oxygenate, not a fuel). Hydrous ethanol can also be used as fuel by itself without mixing it with gasoline and can be produced in your backyard. Anhydrous ethanol is dangerous and corrosive even at 10 percent.   

The really confusing thing is why the ethanol industry is pretending hydrous ethanol has no place in the energy debate when it can be added safely to gasoline in far higher ratios than 10 percent without hurting motors, mileage, or causing greater emissions. Maybe they like having politicians wrapped around their finger even though it's killing their industry to do so. I think they've collectively lost their minds. An extended depression  caused by anhydrous ethanol ought to sober them up a bit. It better. From what I can see, the economy will keep failing as long as they keep using anhydrous ethanol instead of hydrous ethanol.

When they finally get it right, I wonder what the next issue will be that they use to divide us to chase those of us who are intelligent enough to see though what they're doing away from politics and voting altogether. 50% of us don't vote and they don't want us to start. Maybe we should come up with a way for them to simplify their efforts so they don't' have to destroy the fabric of our society to remove most of us from wanting to participate in the democratic process. Maybe we should make being intelligent a felony (felons can't vote) so they leave our vital resources and most personal issues alone when they have their presidential elections. Then they could skip screwing up our energy markets to distract us from reality so they know that the only people who support them are following them religiously, not because they expect them to actually accomplish anything once they get in office.

Maybe they could trying something harmless like debating whether we get more mileage with clean air in our tires over polluted air where Obama wants to require air filters to be installed on air pumps at all filling stations to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Then McCain could counter with a study that shows perfumed air with Chanel No. 5 added to tires can give better mileage while asserting the notion of filtered air in tires is absurd having been born out of a mind that can only by evaluated as dangerous and psychopathic. He could even have psychiatrists stipulate to this being fact.

Then for an October surprise, both campaigns could reveal how the others biggest donors are either perfume and air filter manufacturers. By the time the voting day arrived, all that would be left of the political process would be a lot of shouting and screaming about things that don't make any sense with the only people who care anymore about who gets elected would be those who would benefit from their candidate being elected, which is how it is now. But at least our energy markets would be secure from the political process.

Sometimes I think we need two governments, a real one and a pretend one. It might sound expensive but in reality it ought be cheaper than what we're doing now with the only options to solving the critical issues of the day being props used as fluff for fools to debate presidential politics over. I mean at least that way we could actually solve our problems while the other government, the one we have now, pretends to. It would have to be cheaper than losing our whole economy no matter how much it cost.

I wonder how much it would cost to just give everyone in Washington and on Wall Street whatever it is they want to stay home and be rich and famous without being gainfully employed. Then we could put all the people they deploy to help them pretend they're doing something to work doing things that will benefit us and the future. Personally I think if we can afford to give them as much wealth and power as we do now and still have anything left for ourselves, would could give them a whole lot more if we could just get them out of our way. But it doesn't work like that does it?

Our political and financial leaders want more than fame and fortune. They want to be important. And they can't seem to accomplish it by doing things the way they ought to be done even though it would make them so much more successful at running the world. They seem to only want to be rich and famous at our expense while sacrificing truth an reality to get whatever it is they're after. Sooner or later we're going to have to figure out how to bring intelligence to the forefront of our decision making process while criminalizing the kind of stupidity that brought us where we are now. The human race will simply will not survive on this planet if we keep letting idiots run the world.
