I don't think we're "straining" the market when only
14% of corn is converted to ethanol at present.  I do
agree with your sentiments overall, but I'm still a
capitalist and I have to point out that ADM is a
public company and you and your neighbors are all free
to buy stock.  

As we convert our fuel sources away from petroleum
gradually there will be winners and losers.  I
personally think that switch grass or other forms of
cellulose will probably become the major carbon source
for liquid fuel in the future. And maybe soybeans will
become a source for biodiesel.  It's gonna take awhile
and we are all gonna be hostage to those guys that
wear rags on their heads for quite awhile until we
make the change.
