Has anyone heard of this.

What I have been told is that on May 19th we need to get as many people as possible not to purchase gas.  That means if it works well as much of America on May 19th we can get wont be purchasing gas.  I dont think it\'ll have much effect but damn atleast it sends a message.  Im in on this, I encourage anyone else to partake in this event also.

So has anyone heard about not buying gas on May 19th?

I wish I could find an official statement suggesting the May 19th biz before I go all out on this.  It was just what my English teacher had let me and some other Sr\'s on.

I\'ll probably need to get gas on the 19th anyway so I say screw it. I agree the gas prices suck though. I was in Ohio this past weekend and it was up to like 2.05. I just don\'t think it will have an affect on the gas companies so I won\'t do it because it\'s kind of a lost cause.

I think it\'s an act more out of desperation, I know it wont hurt a bit..but maybe it\'ll send a message......  What am I kidding, gas companies dont give a flip.  Theres got to be something we can do though, Im personally sick of them raping our wallets.

not to mention our environment.

Nothing we can do.  You aren\'t going to see major conservation efforts unless it goes another 30-50% higher.  I would think this will blow over, and the new price of gasoline will just be a given in about  2 months.

Yeah I got spammed with that e-mail.  Not like one day is going to matter.  Eventually people will have to buy gas.  Truly a laughable effort.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
