Message	" I dont care if exxon doesnt care if I put different engine oil in my car and truck, I have the self satisfaction, as miniscule as it may be, that I am not playing ball with them." If you buy motor oil, gasoline, heating oil, etc. you *are* playing ball with them. You're keeping the demand on their product at the same level, thus ensuring their profit. You want to not play ball? Ride a bike, and convince about 380 million of your closest friends to do the same thing. Recursively Yours, Kenny... PETZ Member #5 SteamyZ.
