Reply #15: One of the problems with a global market -

[bhikkhu]

if we boycott gasoline and reduce our demand, there are plenty of buyers for it in the rest of the world. Demand has been exceeding supply this year, even before Libya and the others, and prices have been rising in response. Of course there are people making a buck on it, but the "market fundamentals" say the price goes up anyway.

With that said, I'm in for a boycott - who else will switch to commuting by bicycle for the rest of the year?
