| Okay kids - stop wasting so much gas and then you can afford our prices - in other words - stay home and stop spending all your time out shopping and spending money at stores so that our economy will bloom and grow.
Now we know you spent a lot of money to buy that pretty new car - but don't use it so much, just park it and ... and... watch TV instead - we oil folks spend millions to run ads on TV and so you should say home and watch them - then you can learn our environmentally friendly oil is - did you know fish like our off shore oil platforms?
Do we honestly believe that a oil CEO would encourge people to buy less of his product - ha! He knows you gotta buy it to get to work and to do normal stuff - like taking the kids to some school event or whatever - the little we might waste for a useless trip is not the problem, it is the majority of the gas that we must have to get to work and so forth that is important. Most of it is not wasted.
Trying to put the blame back onto the consumer - old trick of the trade - I am not fooled by such yakety yak, are you?
But yet I do see a bright side to all this - less smog as people cannot buy as much gas, less impact on global warming - and more encouragement to find clean burning alternatives. Less cancer producing toxic fumes to make people sick - that is in fact good news. Perhaps it is about time anyway for us to wake up and find another way to get to work and what-have-you. Leave the dinosaurs in their tombs and forget the snake oil - invest in corn while you still can get in on the bottom floor. Get a copyright for hemp oil while you still can. Trade in your SUV and get the most economical car on the market -
and stop "wasting time" listening to some oil industry CEO.
Time to make those changes - the time is now - so lets just do it - and be done with oil dependancy once and for all. |
