So why don’t we all stop buying gas at Exxon Mobile. In fact I read if everyone one didn’t buy gas one day a month that that would take a big hunk of money away from them. How about the 15 of every month. But are we just hurting ourselves does any of this profit go to increase american oil and get us off of foreign oil?

It all depends on what meters you’re using. By estimated reserves, Exxon is only the 17th largest company:

Don’t count on the public to do any research on this issue. They are too stupid and too lazy. The ones who say they are undecided at this point are either lying or don’t care. How much you wanna bet the yahoos in Ohio vote against their own self-interests AGAIN!!!!

“no alternative”? are you kidding me? every city in this country has a bus system.

You are right, most cities do have these kind of systems. But if you don’t live in the city, you have to drive your car to get to the city. I can ride a bus from where I live to the downtown of the city I live in and I do it frequently. But, I have to drive to work because there is no bus that stops anywhere near where I work. It’s the same in most cities across the USA.

“I should have said “many of us don’t have practical choices” on how to get to work. I didn’t suspect someone could be that dense.”

if you admit that you misspoke, then why was it me who was dense?

” I live 7 miles from my work.”

seven miles?! sheesh, that’s just begging for you to get a bicycle.

I was wondering as someone who bleieves strongly in capitalism and profit making, I assume you are also an advocate of that weird magical hand thing. If so can you do me a solid and tell that dipshit Bozell to stop complaining all the time about what is on tv? Thanks it is so obvious that the market is just responding to demand. It is so annoying to have to put up with his stupid misguided understanding

otherwise, shut the hell up and get over yourselves. gas is far more expensive in europe…..

And, in Europe there are very few places you can’t get on public transit. People in Europe rarely use their cars to commute to work. They ride mass transit. Unfortunately the way we built this country, we can’t do that. I live 7 miles from my work. I would love to ride mass transit there. Unfortunately the nearest place a bus stops to where I work is 5 miles away.

Look at the campaign contributions of energy firm Koch Industries:

House Republicans $523,500
House Democrats $103,500

80% of their donations go to the Red Team, currently holding a pep rally on the floor of the House.

Only Doro Bush Koch is on a plane as a Presidential Delegate to the Beijing Olympics. That is, if she’s travelling on Air Force One with her brother, President George W. Bush.

Not as tired as we are of you. You keep changing your screen name. Is that because TP keeps banning you? Take a hint.

The fact of the matter is not everyone has that much of a choice in how to get to work

Not so, darla. Where I live, there is bus service that can take you to the big city in our county, but the buses coming back this way stop running at 2 PM.

oh well, you better get on the bicycle, or try walking. or move to another town.

i don’t really care about your wife’s predicament. i care about my grandchildren living in a country that isn’t burning up because of climate change….
