Okay, let’s cut this name-calling to a minimum — even if Paish is a true redneck. Oh, by the way, Yours Truly is nothing more than a redneck with a little culture. Amazing how us backwoods hillbillies can come up with a coherent thought now and then, since we’re all drunk most of the time Holy crap, I thought again. I’m on a roll.

Like I said, there is no quick solutions. boycotting exxon brings bad press, they do not want that. We have the power not the government. Anyways thanks for calling me a redneck, I take that as a compliment. You forgot 4 wheel driving with my guns, beer, and love for this country. Love the debate

It’s funny.. “Parish” claims that Obama isn’t very intelligent, and yet his logic is completly wrong. Boycotting an entire company will not work either. Why? Gas is what’s know as a “fungible” commodity. Meaning, if Exxon doesn’t sell all of their gasoline, they simply sell it to the other companies. This happens on a daily basis anyway. Of course, there is no way you could organize a boycott of Exxon anyway. So, there are two reasons why this is not an “intelligent” idea. And doesn’t life seem fun at the “Parish” household… no t.v., cell phone or internet… but plenty of guns, and obviously, plenty of beer. Great, a beer drinking, gun toting redneck with terrible ideas on how to fix this problem… fantastic…

Oh yeah, screw consumption. I am an American and want to drive a big truck. I dont wont to live in the city, I like driving to work. Obama is not very intelligent. I have a truck, I love guns, and I rely on my faith. I like to keep my house warm and I like my truck. Forget short term consumption, I refuse to live that way. I dont need TV, Internet, or my cell phone. If I gave them up I would have 200 dollars more in my pocket. There is not short term fix. Lets drill for more oil, build more refineries, and build nuclear plants. Lets give our middle finger to the oil companies and say speculate this, if you continue to make your record profit on our wallets, then we will pick one of u out and not buy from u anymore. Im sure the borad going to come up with a plan to lower prices. When it comes to the goverment all i can tell you is vote with coman sense. The goverment was never made to take care of you. Be careful listening to the person making promisses that sound great. Reality can be a hard thaing to swallow. Goverment can not fix gas prices in the short term, but they need to step up and get the ball rolling making us energy efficient. The answer is not using corn, that is actually more expensive than its worth. Those who worry about the enviroment, Nuclear is the cleanest type of energy and the cheapest. I wonder how come the oil companies and government have not built any more plants in this country in 30 years. Let the american consumer speak and lets fix these problems now so Our children wont have to suffer.

Hey Mike, I beleave oil companys are greedy, thats ok we live in our capilist society which is fine with me. I have a different plan. First we need to drill for our own oil, build nuclear power plants, and build more refineries. Since we are the greater force, the american consumer, lets boycott exxon mobile for a summer, I think they would do whatever they could to get the prices down FASTER. We need to think bigger than not buy gas for a day. Lets slay the goliath of the gas companies. Lets get that boycott in place and see what the CEO will due now that he wont get his 400 million dollar bonus. The power is ours, so lets make our voices are to the politicians and the gas compinies.
