Once again it's good to see you libtards thinking criticaly ...liberal tolerance = tolerate those who agree with me!! search with a open mind if you can and you will find the true culprits to our current dilemna...
A few years ago I predicted that ethanol plants would be rusting hulks in ten years. I refuse to use it in my car for reasons stated in the article. I believe certain persons saw ethanol as a way to induce a flow of money from everyone's pocket into their bank accounts offshore. It is a familiar ploy nowdays where investors band together, get federal funding and subsidies, spend lavishly on a project that is doomed to fail, siphon off as much wealth as possible and abandon the whole thing when it crashes. If you don't get out in time, the federal government will make it all better anyway. It's a no-lose situation that's happening everywhere in our economy. What it will take to stop this abuse? A prison term for Don Blankenship would be a step in the right direction.
During the past several years I have come to question the integrity of NPR on many issues. However the Monsanto ads have brought me to the point of questioning their integrity on just about everything. I don't think we want to accept the idea that this almost "sacred" institution may have sold out, but that is so obviously what has occurred. Just take a look at the list of "sponsors" - and make no mistake - these are not merely mentions of "support" but well-crafted, targeted ads designed to restore credibility to very dubiously well-intended (at best!) corporations. I find this sort of insidious programming - and I mean that both as programming minds as well as on-air programming - totally unethical and even dangerous to the obviously too trusting listening audience. Heck - they have even resorted to creating ads affirming their own integrity and trustworthiness! On second thought, make that "integrity" and "trustworthiness." And FYI NPR - we ALL have to make tough decisions when we need money to survive....
Here is an on line article that provides some actual facts countering the false propaganda of the Monsanto "sponsorships":

(And if NPR isn't "directly affiliated with American Public Media," the producers of Marketplace, and so feels comfortable broadcasting their lies, then they need to suffer the consequences of their own false integrity in not standing up for their principles. Actions speak louder than (false) programming, ultimately....)
