BUST BIG OIL
You don’t like BP (British Petroleum); in fact you are not too happy with any oil company. after all they are nothing but big rip-off, price gouging, profiteering behemoths taking advantage of the driving public. It’s time something is done.
It’s time we take the bull by the horn and do something. For example, we could join Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton in their boycott of BP gas stations. That would directly attack the American family that makes a living from the gas station. I’m talking about those people who buy homes, automobiles send their children to school take vacations and pay taxes, they can find something else to do. They need not be messengers for big oil money.
A boycott and government pressure combined would put the squeeze on oil refineries as well, like those in Texas City and Indiana that refine these products. Just like the retail operators these people would feel our wrath and learn the consequences of being a front for oil tycoons. We can’t stop now; we must take giant steps in this battle for economic fairness and protect our environment at the same time.
The whole petrochemical industry, the polluters of our atmosphere, must be taken to task as well. They will be reigned in after we curtail oil production and limit its use pretty much to government and law enforcement purposes.
Blacktop on our roadways is a wasteful use of petroleum and a heath hazard as well. Plastic, another item of petroleum derivatives that clogs our waste system is a big problem. Electrical wire covering made of plastic is a big user of oil. Let’s go back to old-fashioned rubber and cotton covering. Speaking of cotton and wool they covered our bodies for centuries. Why then must we insist on miracle fabrics made from petroleum? I can think of so many things we simply can eliminate to bring our grievances to bear on those fat cats. Propane, some medicines, ink, lubricants, pantyhose and the list goes on and on. We did without all this before and we can do it again. Building materials, this computer I am using and so many other things can be dumped for the sake of making them pay. The oil companies are responsible for our problems and we have every right to make them step back and learn a lesson.
Your government is doing all it can to solve this problem and they need our help and need it now. They have put a moratorium on deep water drilling but are not too concerned about the Chinese doing it in the gulf, likely because we owe them so much money. The moratorium will help but the thing that really will hit them on the chin is the 20 billion in shakedown money the administration bled from BP. Good for them.
That 20 billion is to be used to ease the pain and suffering of those folks on the gulf coast. I think it might at that. I don’t believe this administration would use any of that 20B to buy votes in November, do you?
