fine whine

So tomorrow’s supposed to be some sort of gas boycott. I guess I’ll participate, but I generally don’t fill up on Wednesdays anyway. As such I can’t imagine I’ll have much effect on anything by doing so, nor any of the other millions of people would wouldn’t be filling up tomorrow anyway. To me this smacks of a meaningless stunt, the sort of thing that people like to forward and feel good about doing so; even those without cars like to join in on the fun.

For that matter, I won’t use any natural gas tomorrow, nor hydrogen, solar power or used restaurant cooking oil in a specially converted diesel engine.

And it won’t make a difference at all.

Want to make a difference? Go without buying gasoline for a whole week. Hell, go without driving so much. Walk for those one or two mile trips. And stop forwarding this kind of stuff to me, dammit.
