Gas Prices

The price of a gallon of gas is getting quite ridiculous, and by my figuring, I don't see it stopping any time soon.

Unless we do something about it.

 

I've heard repeated calls to boycott gas on a certain day of the week, or just boycott a certain oil company.

I've been thinking about this issue for a while now, mentioning it to Neal and the rest of my government class, but I want it to become a national project, one that will make the gas companies and the rest of the nation take notice that there IS something we can do to fight this growing problem.

 

What I suggest is that we NOT buy gas from ExxonMobil.... at all.  The CEO, when he retired, received a $700 million payout from the company.  Now what good would it do to keep buying gas from them to keep giving payout after payout.

 

more on this later.....

Aside from politics, Google is romancing us...

Today, Google, Inc., google.com, announced its newest innovation.  Google Romance was presented on today's Google site where they introduce new ideas from the company.  According to the site, you can build your profile, match up with other users of the service, and then go on a date.  Google will pay for the entire date!  They send you out with all expenses paid.  The way they do this is they have strategically-placed AdSense ads that are subliminally wherever your date is.  At your dinner table, the park, etc.   If something goes wrong on the date, then Google will talk with you through Google Talk and tell you what went wrong.
