Save Dollars and the environment-Boycott Exxon-Mobil!
Being a good, knowledgeable leftist, I have long boycotted Exxon-Mobil. First of all, the company has a horrible environmental record. Remember the Exxon Valdez? Not just an accident, it was a matter of corporate negligence. The company has committed a whole host of other environmental crimes, many of which are well-documented by the Sierra Club through their Expose Exxon campaign. Meanwhile, the company had record profits at the expense of ordinary Americans who were gouged at the pump. And the company is not doing its part to develop cleaner fuels, nor agreeing to taxes on its windfall profits.
But yet another reason to boycott this terrible company is simple economics. In my informal surveys, I have consistently noticed that Exxon's gas is generally at least ten cents more expensive than its competitors. Just the other day, Exxon was selling as for $2.79 a gallon while Sunoco was selling fas for $2.67 just a block away. Next time you're out driving, pay attention to Exxon's prices versus those of its competitors. You might be surprised at what you find.

I'm just trying to stand up for the little guy, Herman. Big oil is basically toying with everyone at this point and getting ridiculously greedy. It's been clear for years that our oil supplies were running low, yet oil companies and the Bush administration have done nothing. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe it has just a LITTLE something to do with the fact that Bush and Cheney are former energy executives!
