A vow...

...well perhaps, a vow, if I can get away with it.

In light of recent gas price increases and the uncanny way that "big oil" is making monster profits, I shall attempt to make a vow and I implore you to do the same. I cannot go without a vehicle, as I believe I have said before that this town has shite when it comes to public transport and it does not make sense, nor is it possible, for me and my wife to share a vehicle everyday. Anyway, I have stepped away from the point.

The point is that I am frelling tired of companies like Exxon, Mobil, Shell, Texaco, etc making monster profits and not being called on their actions. Oh, the government will have meetings with them and bad mouth them every so often, but NOTHING is accomplished. The "big oil" companies complain that they are being picked on. You frelling straight they are being picked on. Middle and Lower class America is being FUCKED on gas prices while "big oil" is doing the FUCKING money dance.

To the vow: I will NOT buy gas from Exxon, Mobil, Shell, Texaco, etc. I will only purchase my gas from unbranded sources when possible. My Shell and Exxon cards will go unused, unless I have no other choice. It's like earth day, except I am going to do it everyday. Maybe my piddly 300.00 - 400.00 dollars a month in gas not being purchased from "big oil" will mean that some fucking executive will have to drink one less pint of babies blood with his/her supper. I know it's not much, but it makes me feel better. I suggest you do the same.

FUCK BIG OIL!

Good Day

QotD: Happy Earth Day

What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?

For the earth's environment? I don't do much. I think it rather egotistical that people believe that they can do anything for the earth's environment. It will take much more than one person to make a difference with the crap that we have done to the earth, and I don't think humanity is willing to do any more than cover its own arse. Politicians surely don't give a shite about anything other than making money - YES, I mean ALL politicians. I don't think there is one frelling decent politician out there. Big companies don't care about the environment. They care about the bottom line and the environment ain't it. I care. I would like the earth to last a very long time. The fact is, however, it will not. We as humans will continue to frell it up. Why? Well, that's what we do. We pander to our own egotistical needs and selfish desires. We rationalize and say we are helping. One frelling light bulb changed? I've been hearing about/celebrating earth day since sometime in the 1980s and things HAVE NOT gotten much better, if at all. 20+ years is a long time for no change. Why is earth day not every frelling day? Why once a year? I'll tell you; it's so we will feel better about ourselves and the fact that for one frelling day we can make a difference. That's the same as telling children that they can be whatever they want when they grow up - bullshite! Little Johnny can't be president. Little Johnny should not always get a trophy.

Happy Frelling Earth Day!

Go burn some tires and bring the hate - it's that kind of day.
