Did that make sense?

Yeah -- I know. The last post kind got a little long winded. That's what happens when you start it on one day, and finish it on another. It also didn't help that I kind of lost focus on what I was trying to say. I think it was mostly that we had an energy source that didn't require ruining existing habitats, was recreated every year, and was something we had quite a bit of. I know we often are a short sighted people, but trying to invent disasters that don't exist isn't the solution to our vision problem. People in Africa may starve without our corn -- yeah, well Africa seems to have an awful lot of oil over there -- maybe we should do an oil for corn deal with them.
