The following was sent to me today by a racer friend (not the person whose
name appears at the bottom ... it has apparently been through a few forwards
already).
It intrigues me as a unique form of boycott ... one in which the boycotted
businesses actually do not lose a dime in the grander scheme of things, but
still get this perceived "hit." We are all gonna buy the gas anyway, we just
time-shift when we do it to leave a hole in their calendar. Interesting
approach.
Must be nasty on the left coast. Just got a post from someone there on an
unrelated topic where he mentioned his gas prices are nearly double mine here
in Middle America! Nearing $2/gal!
