Worth an attempt. Hey, how much did the US spend to run Sadam out of Kuwait? How many billions have
we invested in Iraq and their mess? How 'bout some return, payback with cheap, free oil till our
investment is recovered? |

Aye! I agree with that, everybody stop buying gas, stop eating, stop drinking, stop commuting. The
world comes to a complete standstill. Can you possibly imagine what life would be like? |

This would not help the gas price problem. If people stopped buying gas for a week, it would make
things worse. Other things such as food and clothes would rise because nothing would be imported and
the demand would go up. Therefore, I believe it would just cause more problems. People cannot
complain about the gas. We can thank all of those people out there who voted for George Bush in the
last election. Boycotting gas prices is not the answer. It is probably the worst thing you could
do. People need to stop smoking and drinking so much, then they would probably have more money for
gas and other things that they need. |

Boycotts, especially for commodities, never ever work. Oil prices wouldn't drop because they are
being driven by OPEC and the commodities speculators, if we stopped buying gas, there are plenty of
buyers in India and China that would only be too happy to take up the slack.
People who come up with stupid ideas like this are simply ignorant of the way the economy works. |

Boycotts rarely, if ever, work. Destabilizing the national economy for a week isn't going to change
gas prices, in fact it will raise them. |

This is a ridiculous notion. Oil price are being driven by speculation on the future commodities
market. A one week boycott of fuel would do nothing... Eventually you'll need gas. |
