Cow Brains Into Biofuel

beatleadam writes "If the reality of $2.00 per gallon of gas does not scare you enough, then perhaps this will. '...Cattle brains, skull, eyes, spinal column, small intestine and other parts suspected of harboring mad cow disease were banned from human consumption in December as a safety precaution, shortly after the discovery of the first case of mad cow disease in the United States...' The FDA is now funding research aimed at producing biofuels from cattle brains. What about the exhaust given off from cars that are burning Mad Cow Fuels?" It's the grand circle of life.

Oh my, what I love about left-leaning herb(avor) eating pinko communists is that they love to tell other people how bad and wrong and evil they are. Since most left leaning pinko communists are moral relativists, I don't know how they determine how something is good or bad.. but getting back to the subject....

There are many people in the world who believe that thier God gave to them the right to consume all that they can. After all, it was provided by God for them. So don't be surprised when people assume they have the right to do whatever the hell they want with the 10 tonne tracktor-trailer full of PCBs, maybe dump it in your lettuce patch.

Warning: opinion

The world is out of balance. The rules of property and fair-use are out of wack. Lets think back to circa 1776 and what the American Rebels had in mind. They wanted free Men to be able to be free of the tyranny of kings and mobs (slashdot anyone?!) and build the best, most tranquil future any christian white man could imagine.

Fast Forward to the wide-spread use of the train. Steam trains are pretty destructive vehicles when they burn coal and wood, they spew huge hot cinders into fields and burn down crops. The farm owners sue the railways, who are barely making payroll. The railways then get the government to pass laws so the farmers can't sue the railways for damages. How does this relate to consuming vast amounts of resources without a thought.. Once the railway owners could trample the rights of farmers to get compensation for losses created by steam trains, the legislature placed corporate welfare above indivdual freedom and created the environment for alot of corporations and indivduals to place themselves above the law and above you, the citizen.

Imagine a different reality. Imagine that the space you inhabit is legally yours and people can't impose. Extended assault laws if you will that prevent people from creating enough pollution that you would be impacted. In a city for example, driving a car, along with the other million people is like assulting the individual who suffers from asthma. Now I am starting to sound like a pinko communist.

It is obvious to me that the left has failed to make any impact in actually creating change on how people view thier world and thier place in it. The left ends up being coop-ted by commercialist and merchants and governments: choose this fuel effecient car, it the green car. What!$%^@%$! A green car, what is that.

Anyways, people need to stop telling other people what to do, but they also need to stop imposing thier pollution on others with penalty. BTW, creating a government tax as penalty doesn't really change peoples behaviors.
