And the dumbing down of America continues. In the internet age, we just take dumbass emails and run. What the internet does provide is easy access to learn about simple economics.

Most oil companies are publicly traded so their stock can be purchased to get some return on your purchases.

So you'd boycott their products to hurt their profits, then buy their plummeting stock? Good plan. Economics major?

And that wouldn't be entertaining?

I dont try to buy plummeting stock. I prefer PLUMMETED stock.

The oil execs answer to shareholders. The stock is publicly traded so pretty much anyone can become a shareholder and reap the rewards of record quarters.

Meh. Each disposable diaper tossed into the trash everyday required 1/2 pint of crude oil to produce. It would make more sense to get people to use cloth diapers for all those babies...do you think that would work???

[MauiV]

But what about all the petrol based plastic needed to hold the detergents necessary to clean all those cloth diapers?
