Corn Shortage Hampers US Ethanol Production

The real truth is the shuttleworth ubuntu £inux illuminati are making ethanol scare to decrease the cost of Ubuntu Phones. Think about it, both Ethanol and Ubuntu Phones need corn for plastic and getting rid of the competition by making it 'scarce' and 'unreliable' is a great way of freeing up resources for the phones. But to what end? I believe they intend to undercut Android phone prices and take over the mobile market, which will put all your data in Canonicle's hands.
If you had your way then we'd all be reduced to using real sugar.
neither should our vehicles.
It's what cars crave.
Smoke the hemp and people won't want to go anywhere or do anything. Think of all the fuel we will save.
Have gnu, will travel.
