Not so terribly bad, more of a flesh wound. I've dealt with worse.

Iowa's farmers ought to learn how to live without subsidies like the rest of us. This country can scarcely afford this nonsense any longer. Besides, ethanol from maize is a mostly bullshit. If it's not BS they can grow it, ferment it, distill it, sell it, and make a profit. Basic Adam Smith.; 8/31/11, 12:59 AM
