I agree with Bill here. Nothing against Iowa, but fuck Iowa. Because of the skewed primary system which attributes an undeserved importance to farmer issues, we have government support for ethanol--which the market won't support on its own; and farm subsidies, which is nothing more than another unnecessary government handout. . . .
