Howard: Say, answer me this one, will you? Why is gold worth some twenty bucks an ounce? Flophouse Bum: I don't know. Because it's scarce. Howard: A thousand men, say, go searchin' for gold. After six months, one of them's lucky: one out of a thousand. His find represents not only his own labor, but that of nine hundred and ninety-nine others to boot. That's six thousand months, five hundred years, scramblin' over a mountain, goin' hungry and thirsty. An ounce of gold, mister, is worth what it is because of the human labor that went into the findin' and the gettin' of it. Flophouse Bum: I never thought of it just like that. Howard: Well, there's no other explanation, mister. Gold itself ain't good for nothing except making jewelry with and gold teeth. imdb.com

Clinton says corn for ethanol is driving up food prices, and has caused food riots. Reports show that the rising cost of oil, not ethanol production, is a major cause of increased food prices. deltafarmpress.com
