QUOTE A DAY
"Words That Inspire, Provoke and Entertain"
Tuesday April 15, 2008
-----------------------------------------------------------
Greetings fellow quote lovers:
[Email from a reader that made sense to me...]
THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT
WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30
PER GALLON.
This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came
from one of his engineer buddies who retired from
Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going
up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take
time to read this please.
Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy gas on
a certain day' campaign that was going around last
April or May! It's worth your consideration. Join the
resistance!!!!
I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by
summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices
to come down?
We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil
companies just laughed at that because they knew we
wouldn't continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to
buy gas.
How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop
buying gas.
But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act
together to force a price war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T
purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies
(which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.
If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined
to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices,
the other companies will have to follow suit.
But to have an impact, we need to reach literally
millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really
simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...
keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach
millions of people!
I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send
it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) .. and those
300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...
and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth
group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION
consumers.
If those three million get excited and pass this on to
ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been
contacted!
If it goes one level further, you guessed it...
300 million folks!
Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people.
That's all.
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this
e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt,
all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted
within the next 8 days!!!
I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much
potential, did you! Acting together we can make a
difference.
----------------
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message
on. 20,000 QAD readers are getting this. I suggest that
we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES
TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY
WORK.
Best,
JA

The thing that makes you exceptional, if you are at all,
is inevitably that which must also make you lonely.
--Lorraine Hansberry

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking
for peace. They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions,
even other people, hoping to fill the emptiness that
plagues them. The irony is the only place they ever
needed to search was within.
