i am no scholar, i am not uber educated, i dont feel anyone is picking on
me im probly too stupid to understand if they were anyways. i seem to
remeber something in middle school about plant material but im pretty sure
we were taught it was the dinosaurs. either way who cares burn it all till
its gone then we can waste many other natural resources like corn, and nat
gas, and propane before someone gets their head outta their ass and lets us
all drive around nuclear cars. i guess no one ever saw the episode of the
simpsons where troy macclure explained how dinosaurs fuels our everyday
lives. oh well. have a great weekend all and thanks for the wiki lesson
since the internet is 100 percent accurate i will leave you with this
quote.
"What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place
'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto
- we'll just be bogus too! Get it?" Jeff Spicoli.
