I think we should all boycott Exxon

[hyphenate]

With the price of oil what it is, and then seeing the fucking asshole walking away with gobs and gobs of money that literally came out of OUR pockets, I think we really need to put down our foot and start making the oil companies look like the greedy bastards that they really are.

If you agree, we need to find a way to reach all US citizens and protest this shit. And I think it's important enough to send a message to the oil companies that their greed is disgusting and, frankly, unpatriotic.

1. I've boycotted Exxon ever since Valdez.

I only buy my gasoline from Citgo or Costco.

2. I don't buy Exxon-Mobil products knowingly.

3. Won't help, unfortunately, except maybe to make us feel better.

Gasoline and other petroleum products are fungible goods, and boycotting one oil company won't make it or the others charge less. The only way to make a difference is to use less gasoline, period. Read this: http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/gasout.asp

7. An email about this has been making the rounds, and as pointed out...

...by the folks at snopes.com, it just wouldn't work. Here is their reasoning. You may or may not agree with it but I think it's true that Exxon-Mobil will find a market for it's gasoline. In all likelihood, that market will continue to be you and me though we may not realize it.

I think it makes more sense to boycott all gasoline that originates in the Middle East. If you want to do that, below is a list of gasoline retailers you can patronize.
