Mike,

>Absolutely! I wasn't picking on Texas universities, it just happened that this study came from a Texas university. (Assuming it exists; have you heard of Texas Womans University?)

Can't say I've ever seen the campus, and the name hardly seems PC, but here's a link. http://www.twu.edu/ (although the link appears to be not working.. other google results say it's primarily a doctoral research school.

>The corn lobby shows up most prominently here in the form of high gasoline prices. They actually managed to get it passed into law that a certain percentage of every gallon of gas sold in Illinois has to be ethanol. This is a PITA for the oil companies and they sock it to us good. Gas is still over $2.00 a gallon here and expected to go higher. Pretty soon it'll be like living in Europe, minus the history and scenery.
