cool, craig, you get to use corn fuel! if you have, lemme know what you think....

i've had folks argue that bio diesel and corn based fuel will hurt the economy b/c our farmers can't keep up with the demand. maybe it's short-sighted of me, but i think that if the gov't stopped subsidizing farmers who don't farm, then maybe it wouldn't be an issue.
