boycotting big oil is like pissing in the wind......it gets all over you when you do...and as someone pointed out it hurts small business folks and has no impact at all on any big oil company

Concerning selling your car...........yeah right.....how am I gonna get to work...........lets see it would take me about 1.5 hours one way by bus......it takes 20 minutes by car.
I do however take public transit or carpool about 90% of the time when I go into the City (San Francisco) from home (Oakland). I do drive the 2 miles to the BART station. If I know I am going to be past midnight I have to take my car (or carpool if possible) as BART stops running at midnight.
When I lived in the City I rarely ever drove my truck.
How about those folks who live where no public transit exists?
Better yet why not put the screws to your government and change our energy policy.......electric cars, bio-diesel would be a first start.
