County boycotts gas use

WOAI in San Antonio reports:
As gas prices near the $3 mark, some communities are keeping their money away from the gas tank and boycotting one of the nation’s largest gas companies.
Bee County judge Jimmy Martinez is asking for a boycott and has pushed a major county resolution encouraging citizens of Beeville, about 90 miles Southeast of San Antonio, to not get their fuel at Exxon-Mobil stations.
This sounds like an e-mail I've seen floating around for a couple years now. Does he really think it will work? My favorite is people who ask for a boycott of gas on one particular date. Sure that will work - Ha. It just means people will buy more gas the day before or the day after.
And on the same topic, John Stewart talked with a reporter from the Wall Street Journal last night on current oil prices. Good interview.
