Unless people have all the information they are able they will not be able to make intelligent or wise decisions. We need to know that when we are told something that the source is routinely as accurate and truthful as possible and we need to know which sources are not so we can stay away from those. There are folks out there, and I know some of them, who limit their input to sources which reflect only their particular mindset and they reject information from other sources as "false" or "biased" whether or not that is indeed true. They want the world to be a mirror image of their cherished beliefs whether or not the beliefs are true, good or wise. That makes no sense. I believe I have said this before but I believe that the information we garner and through which we sift is biofuel for the mind. Politics may be and often is heavily discussed but through this we gain an understanding of others who may be vastly different from ourselves and we come to learn that although there are many differences we have a common thread running through this which is that we wish good for ourselves and no harm to others. What gets in the way of this is partisanship whether it is religious, political, economic, racial or whatever else. Through these discussions we get closer to the truth of things and become closer to being an organic whole. If we are to become the best people we can be living in the best world we can we need to listen to others and examine ourselves and if we find ourselves lacking we need to get into line with what is right and good or if we find others lacking we need to point it out to them so that they have the same opportunity of getting into line with that which is right and good. To limit the discourse on this list to the physical mechanics of biofuel production is to limit ones understanding of what "biofuel" is and what it can become. If you are not prepared to expand your limits friend then you have chosen the wrong list. This is where the sorting and weeding is done. This is the place where we become part of the one, friends. We point out the flaws where we find them that we may understand more and correct the mistakes we find in ourselves and elsewhere as we are able.
