The idea of a boycott is just about the dumbest thing I've ever read, unless
you can maintain a complete and effective embargo for a full six months and
even then it would have only a short term effect. There is a way to reduce
fuel prices, both on a personal and national level. STOP USING SO MUCH FUEL!
Drive less, use and choose vehicles that are more efficient. I'm betting you
won't! And so are the fuel companies. We're greedy and unwilling to give or
sacrifice, that costs. We're addicted, and the oil companies are just big,
legal dealers to our addictions. Can you get yourself off their product? I
bet you won't even try.

We've been conditioned all our lives to consume, endlessly and needlessly.
Most of us can't even devine the difference between desire and need. If we
ever figure it out, the whole world will change.

Have no fear, the world will not change, we will not change. The whole human
race is doomed, the rich will die second last, just ahead of the people who
can actually manage for themselves. In all honesty, I've enjoyed the
hedonistic lifestyle we've created so I hope to go out early, ahead of the
hardship. I've always managed to do OK, so I expect I'll be safely in the
ground before things get too bad.
