[QUOTE="fxdwg, post: 747293, member: 5135"] [COLOR=#0000ff]I agree. In addition, i dont thinks its smart to boycott BP because if they dont make money then they could go bankrupt and we will end up paying for this mess with our tax dollarsAre you not also hurting the independent BP owner when you pull into an Exxon, Shell, Mobil, QT, etc. station before the gulf accident? Whether the reason makes sense or not is worthy of debate, hurting the independent BP owner should not IMO be among the arguements given to condemn the idea. How many folks here declare we should not use Fed Ex and always use UPS when doing so would hurt the independent Fed Ex Ground contract driver? Where's the difference? Oh, because you work at UPS?

I don't boycott BP for this because all the oil majors have dirty hands so there you go. I see in the news all the vandalism that is being done to BP gas stations. Doesn't harm BP at all, but it sure hurts our neighbors who own these places. Now that is completely wrong and a violation of property rights and just basic moral principles.

Not Buying BP is my only vehicle, short of doing something weird) to show my anger. I am also angry at our Administration!
