Biofuel is generally a zero sum gain. There are occasions such as begasse where a valuable resource would otherwise be wasted or in the timber industry where there is a considerable resource available in offcuts, etc but these are specialist situations which only produce a fraction of the energy requirement of the industry. Growing substances to convert to fuel will ultimately prove to be a waste of the land resource where food will be required.Quote:

The claim is that algae yields between 10 and 100 times more fuel per unit area than other biofuel crops. There would be comparatively many fewer acres of space used to produce it compared to the thousands of acres used to grow corn for ethanol . And few people ,except for some health nuts ,consume algae on a regular basis.
I just get to the point where I am past big agribusiness
If it works, big business will be there . That's just reality .And the reality is that algae biofuel is potentially a $50 billion dollar industry . Exxon Mobil is already heavily invested .which tells me there could be a future in it .
Texas seems determined to make abortion next to impossible in spite of support from pro-choice groups. The country is moving forward on gay marriage, but has been moving backwards on abortion. Hard to believe the pro choice movement is losing ground in so many states 40 years after Roe vs Wade.
What you are saying is there is a future in continuing with the current level of technology rather than moving to all electric cars which would see the oil companies out of businessQuote:

Some things like reducing the number of children killed in infanticide is not a "moving backward " proposition.Quote:

Unrelated and irrelevant to the discussion.

You whack 'em after they are born so what's the difference?

Yeah it's not "shill"
It's "outreach" . In this case a distinction without a difference.
Only if you believe your blogs instead of the actual source.
The source confirms it.Quote:
“Teens are part of a 'pilot' program to test whether young people can be trained as messengers to deliver outreach and limited education to family and friends in and around their homes,” said Gayle Pollard-Terry, a LAUSD spokesman, in an email.
Kind of like religious parents to their children?
Should both be stopped?
No more than stopping you from whatever it is you teach your kids.Quote:

Neither do we and even if we did what's that to you? I don't interfere in raising your kids, if you want them to grow up ignorant of all the possibilities that's your business.Quote:

Make your choices, and let them make theirs. Seems reasonable to me.
If I were telling others how to raise their kids you might have a point. Otherwise, what part of using children to spread government messages is wrong do you not get? Oh that's right, our kids don't belong to us. And I'm sure you'll miss the irony in that.Quote:

He keeps saying it because he doesn't believe it takes a village to raise kids*, but he makes an exception to his village telling you how to raise YOUR kids.
Source- Who said it takes a village to raise a childQuote:
* The phrase is attributed to an old African proverb. Its exact origin seems to be lost in time. In 1994 children's author Jane Cowen-Fletcher released a book, published by Scholastic Press, titled It Takes A Village in which a young African girl searches for her younger brother, only to find the rest of the village has been watching over him as well.
In January 1996 publisher Simon & Schuster released hillary Rodham-Clinton's It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us. Reviews are mixed.
In May 2001, publisher Harper-Collins released the seventh book in the Lemony Snicket's Unfortunate Events series titled The Vile Village, it was mentioned at the beginning of the book, "It takes a village to raise a child."

Who cares what a political commentator says. In the same vein that we dismiss what Fox commentators say. It ain't policy or law.
Also how many times have you told us that one righty doesn't speak for all of you? Why are the rules different for you?
Excuse me? You have this habit of saying I like to tell others how to raise their kids when in fact I have consistently defended your right to raise them your way. That you want kids raised by the village tells us it would be you interfering with how the rest of us want to raise is ours.Quote:

The implication is clear, by objecting to public schools exploiting kids on behalf of Obamacare we are telling others how to raise their kids, according to your logic. You did the same thing over the contraception mandate, in objecting to forcing the church to pay for contraceptives you interpret that as forcing our beliefs on you.
Well as Tal points out ;Evita wrote a whole book on the subject... and she's likely to be the standard bearer for the Dems in 2016Quote:

That is Obamacare. California is the big testing ground which is why they're exploiting kids to help get as many enrolled as possible.Quote:
