May 15th Gas Boycott
This one day boycott everyone is trying to organize is just so silly. One day isn’t going to make a poop of a difference. If you really care about gas prices there are much more reasonable options:
-Get a more fuel efficient car. If you want to drive a Hummer, enlist. Otherwise, you just look like a douche.
-Carpool, bike, walk, take public transport. You know, take one for the team. You have to make sacrifices along the way.
-Use alternative energy sources. Promote political candidates and ordinances that fund/support alternative energy. Constantly supplying the same input will only result in the same output.
In the meantime, GET OVER IT! Yes, in countries like Venezuela gas is government subsidized and it only costs like, 30ยข/gal. But in other countries with economies similar to ours consumers are paying 2-4 times what we are paying. Of course, their governments have much stricter fuel standards for automobiles, but that’s a whole ‘nother story.
In short: Stop sending me chain emails about this!! and rumors about cell phones starting fires at gas pumps and getting a windfall of cash by forwarding this email 20 times and angels and puppies in clouds. Just stop.
