Gas Out? No thanks.

If you are one of the idiots pushing the Gas Out on April 15th.... Learn some facts first 1. Not getting gas one day a year does nothing to hurt profit.
2. you are not hurting the oil company, you are hurting the bussiness man who owns the gas station who has no control over prices
3. if you don't like gas prices, don't own a car, walk to work or take the bus.
4. The "big bad oil man" is simply meeting supply and demand, if we didn't use so much we wouldn't be so short on supply, therefore prices wouldn't be so high.

5. and I don't know how many times I can explain that we use oil for SOOOOO much more than gasoline, and most "oil" companys also drill for natural gas, which heats your homes, lets you cook, ect. If you really want to "hurt the Oil Man" then stop using all these products. The sign you made to protest, you made it using products made out of oil, EX: crayons,Ink, Paint Brushes.. The roads you drive your gas hogging cars, or electric cars on.. made from oil.

Everyone wants to complain while they sit in their warm houses and drive their cars.. how about instead of complaining and bitching, and hating the oil man you say " hey thanks for working your ass off 12 hours a day to get that stuff out of the ground, and being away from your family for weeks sometimes months at a time, so that I can have all this stuff."
here is a SMALL list of products made using oil.
