The only thing that bothers me about it is that many people who work just as hard if not harder, and are just as well educated with graduate degrees and such, such as public school teachers, often scrape by on less than 40k per year (before taxes) where teachers' unions are outlawed (such as in Georgia).

Notice I did not say material cost (which you may be correct) - I said "changeover" - what I am talking about is the current inability in some markets to supply the ethanol, therefor causing some "temporary shortages" http://money.cnn.com/2006/04/18/news/economy/gas_prices_ethanol/?cnn=yes http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0419/p01s03-usec.html Of course crude is the driver, but something else is fighting for the wheel.

You should be thankful that you're wrong on this, or our schools, public and private, would have no one worth salvaging. There are plenty of folks out there, very well educated, who've decided to pursue dreams other than wealth above all else. Teaching is the big one, of course, but you'd be surprised at how well educated certain segments of law enforcement are these days, the ministries, and the list goes on.
