I have been mostly deleting all the political discussion recently... In addition to it making me ill, I just don't have anything to say. (well, perhaps that it is a little OT for biofuels, but I don't mind. that is what the Del key is for, right?) Usually in these situations I can sit back and quote teh wonderful mantra we aussies have, "only in America"... Implying that America is big, bloated, self-important, blinker-visioned and largely stupid [1]. But I can't now, because we (regardless of how much we say, "well I didn't vote for him") are doing this too. Damn it! Someone today pointed out that the expected cost of the war (not including the cost of maintaining Iraq afterwards, or whatever) is close to 100 billion USD... what else could we do with 100 billion USD? (well, except pay off something less than 5% of 3rd world debt, currently running at US$2.3 million million...)
