Haha I got my parents to join in on the counter-protest.

Fortunately my mom did not fill up my car yesterday when she took it to work, so now I can gas up after we spend all day feeding the oppressive clothing industries.

To think seven pages have already been filled on this asinine topic. These days they are too many Ignorant sadistic liberal fascits who think they're all knowing just because they catch a whiff of a tiny quip some idiotic interest group states. A basic economics course will teach one that these piss poor tactics are a waste of time and space.

As if we haven't found alternative sources of energy? It's been done a few times, and the oil companies have shut it down and made it disappear each time.

As the need for oil grows, and oil becomes scarce, the companies will run out of room to grow. Time works against them, though the owners don't care; they'll be long dead.

You guys need to do a long-term boycott for gas for this idea to work. Maybe a two-week boycott or something.

I guess we'll find out what happens after today. Like was already stated, it's not like anyone's asking you to do something, they're asking you to NOT do something for one day. The worst that will happen is the prices stay the same, so why fight it? Just go with the flow. Don't pump any gas today

Sounds good. I'll tell my sisters.

That's $100-$120 right there.

XD

Also: Boycotting would be a good idea if we could tell every person owning a car they use in the U.S

Okay, so this is basically the same thing that happened to the Immigration thing with Mexicans. They had told them to boycott everything for a week or so, but that didn't work out. o_O So, I dunno how this is working out but great luck to you guys. I'd participate but my parent's could careless about what I say, and I don't own a car. Lucky me. Good Luck.

Lose the car and get a segway if you really want to screw over the oil companies. Plus segways are awesome. If you need to transport children or large objects, attach a wagon to the back...

Sorry, no. The worst thing that could happen is the price actually going up.

ps I gotta get gas tonight. How have the prices been?

What is the price up there in Michigan? I haven't checked this evening, but during the afternoon Chicago suburb prices were hovering at $3.55. Yeah, I'm not joking.
