What makes you think a boycott will hamper their ability to clean up the mess? That's implying the boycott is effective. Judy argues a boycott is not effective. I say that it is.
BP's first-quarter 2010 profit jumped to $5.6 billion from $2.4 billion in 2009. In case you haven't noticed BP has done NOTHING to clean up the mess except use the toxic oil dispersant, Corexit, which doesn't clean up the mess it only HIDES the magnitude of the oil spill. So Rick, now that you know BP doesn't lack money to clean up the Gulf and they haven't demonstrated a willingness to use environmentally safe methods to clean up the mess, and probably won't, it's time to shit or get off the pot. It's not difficult to boycott. Just fill up at Casey's and tell your friends to do the same. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Rick Archer" <r...@...> wrote: > > From: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com [mailto:fairfieldl...@yahoogroups.com] > On Behalf Of raunchydog > Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 1:58 PM > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Obama risks everything going along with BP > strategy > > Boycott BP now has 62,877 members on Facebook. > > Has anyone addressed the point that boycotting BP may hamper their ability > to clean up the mess.
