RE: Beef-based diesel: Amtrak goes to the cows
Screwball101, in many ways I agree but in one I don't (it's political). I'm not an American, I'm an Aussie. We see the world through more open eyes than many Americans can or do for some reason. The rest of the world sees you as already putting yourselves first in almost every way and we see that as the reason for many wars and strife. Your government heavily censors information so it's not your fault. So you don't see what is happening or why and that is one reason why we say you already take care of only yourselves. The USA (the government and/or companies) has created wars around the world so it can grab resources like oil. It has destabalised many good governments in order to keep labor costs low or get free or cheap access to resources like oil by corrupting governments.
You can disagree but remember the censorship that prevents you from hearing about what happens outside of the USA? How many of you know where any other country is, what those countries are like, what the people say and think, what their cultures and histories are like. You are one of the most isolated countries because of the general lack of knowledge and understanding. Not all Americans are like that and I have met some very aware and intelligent Americans and I like them a lot. But as a country there is a big problem of understanding.
I'm not picking on you but ask you to see what is actually happening. Then we can ALL work out solutions rather than slamming doors shut on each other. It's a thought. Cheers.
