Default boycott has started on gas

just read on AOL news the boycott on gas has begun.
the target is Exxon, a small town in texas has already started.

it no longer matters if it is a good or bad idea, it will not take long before others jump on the band wagon and stop buying exxon gas too.

That's okay because Exxon will just sell their gas to the other oil companies at an even higher cost.

this is an uphill battle... not buying gas from a certian place isnt going to do anything... and if there was any hope for a boycott, the numbers arent big enough

ah well im figuring there will be some serious new laws being put into effect here in the next 30 years or so that will limit the use of reg. fuels and we'll either be going hybrid or something along the lines of an alternative fuel... so get those 10 sec slips while you can!!! lol jk...
