The fact that this was even written in the first place, let alone seriously dessiminated is testimony to the dirth of economic knowledge in this nation.Sheesh!

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers

I am convinced that these people are not born that stupid. They have to take lessons.

You have to be kidding? Right after our man Daschle leads his pack of enviroidiots in turning back the Alaska frozen tundra drilling and you want to blame others?

If you want to drive down the cost - drive less but don't boycott legitimate businesses providing employment for many Americans.

Turn your stupid boycott against the morons of the environment who see boogie men under every flower and tree and stop their assault on our right to exist.

I wrote several emails to the guy who claims he wrote this. Here's his last email:

I don't believe I know you. But if you think I am irrational then I probably don't want to know you. Your next message to me will be rejected. Good bye and happy paying.

PS. I think I saw the same email last year too.

[Ditter]

I recieved this e-mail too, last week. The woman I recieved it from is stupid enough to believe it. She included a little personal note about how excited she was that there was a plan out there that would really work. Good grief!

I don't think this email is all that stupid. The plan probably will not work, but I don't think it's stupid.

Another Hoax.

This is too funny! So this guy wants to create a buyer's cartel. OK, first, it's impossible, because the cartel, composed of millions of buyers, cannot be enforced. As soon as Exxon lowers its price by 1 cent, people will start cheating. Second, it's silly, because while you are buying from other companies in order to force Exxon to lower its price you still pay the high prices -- in fact, higher than they would otherwise be, because you voluntarily ignore Exxon's supply of gas. Then, as soon as you start buying from Exxon again, it will again raise its price to meet the demand.

Prices reflect scarcity, and you can't eliminate it or remove government distortions of the market with such nonsense. But hey, be my guest and try. You sacrifice will be appreciated... sucker. :)

Go to Snoopes.com. It's there as a hoax.
