Don't buy gas (an e-mail I received)


9-1-05 Don't buy gas


IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF NO ONE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA
>PURCHASED A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE
>OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
>AT THE SAME TIME, IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF
>OVER
>4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

>THEREFORE SEPTEMBER 1st HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR
>BEHIND" DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THESE TWO NATIONS SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE
>DROP OF GASOLINE THAT DAY.
>THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY
>PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

>WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING
>TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT
>THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?
>REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT AT
>THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES,
TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES,
ALL AFFECTING PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED
(THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL
>SUPPLIES ETC.). WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!

>WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DO NOT GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY,
>WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

>SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU
>KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE SEPTEMBER 1ST A DAY THAT THE
>CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES AND
CANADA SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"
