Dear "coeurnoire at aol.com,"

Who are you, and why did you have to be so mean when responding to
an email on this list? Please don't call other people stupid when you can't
even sign your email messages.
Oh, and BTW, wouldn't switching to alternative fuels also hurt those "mom
and pop" businesses? A hybrid car would surely use less gas and, therefore,
you'd be spending less money at those "mom and pop" businesses - no?

  This is ALMOST as stupid as the "don't buy gas for a day" idea.  Does
anyone REALLY think this will hurt EXXONMOBIL (yep, that's right, they're
one company and have been ever since they merged over 5 years ago!!).  The
answer here is that you will hurt the individual retailers who own
ExxonMobil stations/convience stores since XOM (ExxonMobil's stock symbol)
will sell their surplus to the companies that suddenly have a shortage (gee
wonder why that is).  The overall effect will be to put the mom's and pop's
stores outta the business, thereby giving us fewer choices on where to buy
gas and giving those still in business more pricing power.

  If you really want to change things then you need to change the fuel your
vehicle runs on.... i.e.- bio-diesel, hybrids, etc.  But this idea is just
stupid garbage put out by stupid people for stupid people.
