You know what I think is funny?
People bitch about the price of gas, yet they do nothing to conserve it.
They'll sit in line for an overpriced hamburger at a drive thru fast food joint with the engine running the whole time.
They continue to buy SUVs - which are meant to climb in the fucking mountains - you dont need one to get from the suburbs to your downtown offices.
They make 50 runs each week to the bank, store and post office. Because they are too stupid to consolidate everything into one trip.
I make ONE run per week. It is on Friday and it includes the post office, the bank, the store and whatever else needs done.
And then I get these e-mails telling me not to buy gas on Day "X" or dont buy from company "Y". They act as if Exxon will go bankrupt in a matter of hours if they just had one day without sales.
These people fail to grasp that gasoline is BUT ONE product that oil companys make money from. Petroleum is used in all sorts of things. One example is plastic.
When you go shopping, do you get plastic or paper bags? Any time you buy or get anything with plastic in it, you are supporting the oil companies.
It is pretty much impractical to stop buying gasoline. But if you conserve and reduce your consumption, the oil companies will collapse under thier own weight and they will be forced to either compete or die.
Everyone has a choice of paper or plastic. Choose paper.
