It is funny that the criticisms against corn ethanol are so pervasive and influential that even those who don't see it as an issue (almost no biofuel advocate I have heard of currently envisions corn ethanol as a biofuel) need to spend time refuting them.

Maybe if we had a media that was more interested in informing and educating instead of shaping opinion to their ideologies we might be able to make intelligent decisions more rapidly.
