Free trade and energy priorities, according to the idiot
-
So the only reason the US isn't importing Brazilian ethanol is because Bush is an idiot? It has nothing to do with all those farm state congressmen serving the financial interests of their own districts? I don't think Bush is the only idiot in the house, jackass. "You get that which you tolerate"
Darn, Stan. I was gonna give you a good rating until you started name calling.

So swapping dependency on Middle Easter Oil to Brazilian ethanol gains them exactly what? :confused: I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

It is not just about buying our ethanol. I'm proposing what the Bush administration pretendes to propose: free trade. You depend on our ethanol and agriculture and we depend in your services and industrialized comodoties. Mutual dependency, that's how we (both) build peace and wealth. Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970) Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. George Jean Nathan (1882 - 1958) Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

Any politician who might propose that would lose every farm state in the country. That would only leave our new hispanic states, so... hmmmm ... I suppose that might work after all. "You get that which you tolerate"

1. Diversification[^] - Diversification reduces both the upside and downside potential and allows for more consistent performance under a wide range of economic conditions. 2. The chance to enlarge the portion of the energy infrastructure not dependent on oil, thereby increasing the incentive for domestic ethanol production? ----------------------------------------------------- Empires Of Steel[^]
Good points. But I still say that Mr. Fusion thing that the Doc had in Back to the Future is THE way to go! :-D I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended. I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended. Dave

None. I didn't expect him to be relevant. But if you want: Lula is an incompetent and stupid thief. He can't construct a phrase gramatically correct (in portuguese), doesn't have the slighest idea of what "government policy" means, doesn't care for the blatant thievery and corruption in his government, threw the economy into a stagnation when most other developing economies are booming and can't produce any social policy which can relief the extremy poverty in the country. His foreign policy is a lunatic pretension of relevance by courting bloody dictators of irrelevant countries (Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Siria and a bunch of gangsters in Africa). I can continue, if you want... P.S.: BTW, our previous president, Fernando Henrique Cardoso was actually very good (just for you not to say that I only do whinning).

There is no denying that being the President is hard job - No matter what you do someone is going to whine. That said, you don't always have to know what it's like to be the President to disagree with one. Steve

From the NY Times[^]: "In his State of the Union address in January, Mr. Bush backed financing for "cutting-edge methods of producing ethanol, ..." with the goal of making ethanol competitive in six years. But Brazil's path has taken 30 years of effort, required several billion dollars in incentives and involved many missteps. While not always easy, it provides clues to the real challenges facing the United States' ambitions. Brazilian officials and scientists say that, in their country at least, the main barriers to the broader use of ethanol today come from outside. Brazil's ethanol yields nearly eight times as much energy as corn-based options, according to scientific data. Yet heavy import duties on the Brazilian product have limited its entry into the United States and Europe." So, according to what the jackass says, free trade and breaking the american addiction to oil are priorities but according to what he does you can't use the first to solve the second, right?

How the hell you get that based on your quote is beyond me. Unless you're just pissed we're not buying from Brazil. If we don't buy your corn, go get some butter and pop the shit and watch a movie and quit your damn whining. Suffice it to say, your level of candour used in this post only strengthens the point that coming to the SB for unbiased political discussion is virtually impossible. Jeremy Falcon
