I will NEVER EVER BUY FROM EXXON. I stopped long ago. My resolve is now

[peacetalksforall]

sealed until the day they become honest and humble. What a farce of manipulation and damage to the people and the earth and no progress.

Watch Democracy Now - Tuesday show - Rikki Ott (?) who wrote Not One Drop.

This country is sick and dying when the courts keep ruling for the corporations.

I never call for boycotts, but I'm calling one for myself. I haven't bought there gas for 20 years. I'm now going to find out whether they sell under any other names. Super Duper or whatever. If anyone knows if there are hidden names - let me know.

I usually don't run to boycotts because it hurts the lowever levels of employees. I'm sorry, I must know, I will not buy. I'm sorry if some employees lose their job.

Exxon deserves to fail and have the truth exposed.

1. I've been avoiding them for years now because of the spill. nt

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

2. I've been with you the whole time, we went to different schools

together.

[buckshotdad1960]

3. Yeah

What he said!

[cliffordu]

4. I spent fifty buckis on gas last year. None so far this year.

Fuck them all.

[vadawg]

5. eek, i spend about 30 bucks a day for my commute, and the exxon is the cheapest and closest to me

so unfortunately thats were my cash goes.

[cliffordu]

8. I had to reorder my life after losing everything.....Got a bicycle and

moved to a little town...I live in the woods in a 1983 Airstream on nearly nothing...

And I live like a king....

I have no debt...

[AZBlue]

9. Sounds wonderful.

[cliffordu]

14. It took some getting used to not buying all the toys I wanted, but as it turns out

real cheap bicycles work as well as the really expensive ones....

I'm going to have to go to a recumbent trike in a couple years...and that'll be terribly expensive....so I'm saving the nickels and dimes......no credit cards teaches a little discipline..

:rofl:

[vadawg]

10. recently we downsized as well, we live in the mountains, our own well

5 acres of farmland, another 10 of forest, but the downside is i have to commute to work 70 miles one way, but its worth it.

[cliffordu]

15. Geeze, that's a long commute.....

Worth it, I'll bet...

[AZBlue]

6. I haven't bought a drop from them since Valdez and never ever will.

Don't forget Mobil is the same company!

[underseasurveyor]

7. Exxon, Mobil, Texaco & Shell...

They're all guilty of heinous crimes against the land and the people that live there. Then lying & denying and covering up their crimes. It's been that way for too, too long.

[sellitman]

11. I've almost run out of gas avoiding Exxon and Mobile.

The Valdez spill stopped my purchases from them years ago.

[TahitiNut]

21. Ditto. Even if I run out, I won't buy from them ... and I've come close.

It. Will. Never. Happen.

[donheld]

12. They don't have stations in Denver so

I can't boycott

[peacetalksforall]

13. Exxon-Mobil - the broken promise = maximum profit, thief corporation.

Good for Amy and her guest author. All those long suffering people and cratures - TWENTY YEARS.

[Emit]

16. I read somewhere that about 3 or 4 million people in America

hold shares of Exxon stock through their pensions or 401(k)s - that it's one of the most widely-held stocks.

[No.23]

17. Socially responsible oil companies.

Here you go.

For those of you who must purchase gas.

If it helps.

[Wickerman]

18. Thanks

Costco is disappointing. Glad to see Valero does a middling decent job since they are in the process of owning most of the places I can buy gas.

[peacetalksforall]

19. Thanks for this - I'd like to access their main site without the gasoline appendix and can't

get it to come up.

I appreciate this. I thought BP was down there with Exxon. What a surprise. I still can't go because they are located in the more wealthy areas and their rates are the highest where I live.

It gives me great pleasure to not go to an Exxon for so many years - now I'm even more educated, but it still looks like good and bad in each package.

Thanks so much. Let us know if the root url is supposed to work, if you know.

[taterguy]

20. Maybe it's time to try something else

20 years of boycotts and Exxon is making record profits.

The only way to hurt Exxon is to make use of their product optional, instead of a requirement for most people.

Maybe if we all made a concerted effort to do that we'd see some progress.

Of course meaningless symbolic gestures require a lot less effort
