Let's throttle back a little here. NYCapt didn't mean any harm. Rather, his post is a good idea. We're being held over a barrel by big oil. The best way to express our discontent to the powers-that-be... is to hit 'em where it counts.
The economy is vulnerable. As an example, look at the economic slow-down immediately following 911, when people were frozen with fear and stopped buying goods. If we all band together, an embargo of sorts, we could bring about change.
Nobody wants to stop buying the items we desire, but if we postpone purchases, collectively, it could have a resounding effect. The internet, specifically forums, could be the vehicle to start a movement like this.
Just some thoughts...
