Gasoline Glut on July 4th!

Ok, by now virtually everyone has heard of the POS idea to not buy gasoline that happened on 5/15 (and has been happening since 1999). The whole premise is that it will hurt the "big oil" companies (it won't), and that it will make some sort of a statement about the state of gas prices, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Well to combat that vacuous crap, I'm asking for my one reader to buy twice as much gasoline on a particular day. And what better day than the glorious 4th of July?!? (Which, by the way is the second best holiday next to Christmas).

And unlike the "gas boycott" ruse (which only shifts one's purchase to the day before or after, as opposed to actually cutting anyone's gas usage), I'm asking my dear one reader to use twice as much gas that day. Buy extra gas cans and fill 'em just to have 'em lying around. Drive everywhere - even to your mail box 10 feet away. Leave your wonderful, big American gas guzzler idling during your entire work day. Rent an SUV for the day!

Suck up the gas on July 4th and and thank those "big oil" companies for all of those wonderful petroleum products that make our lives so livable. Thank them for all of the billions and billions of dollars of research that have gone into this industry. Thank them for efficiently powering all of the wonderful transportation vehicles like ambulances, jet airplanes, etc. that have revolutionized our lives.

Then sit back, have a beer, a grilled hamburger and/or hot dog, and then put your feet up while you realize what a great place the United States really is.
