7 eleven drops Citgo as supplier.

I think we should do what is possible to get rid of this guy. Danny Glover too. Citgo is not very big here so I never use it. Hey, I'm already doing my part.

I'm waiting for the change to switchgrass based ethanol. Finally something that might grow on my land. Weeds, who would have thought. Did you all see the show about it? 2.5X as much energy as corn. They also mentioned that Henry Ford origially designed the model T to be run on ethanol. Ahh, the good ol days.

Without going into any specifics, we are at absolute polar opposites.

Yeh, I know.....

BUT... like I said, in my case it is my wallet, and actually a lot of my friends paychecks here in this area that doing business with that company can influence.

There is no easy answer for these type of situations. Does my tractor suffer because of the quality of the diesel?

Does my environment?

Does my fellow citizens?

Does my neighbors field work?

Does my nation?

In this case, IMHO, the only one really hurting, are the poor citizens of that country. And me refraining from doing business with a nationalized company, probably will not make a change in their lives.

It will not change the way my diesel burners operate, that is for sure.

He did do it at the UN, in front of the leaders of other countries. Not really a news organization just giving him a mic.

A lot of 3rd world nations probably really bought into it too.

He can say whatever he wants to at the UN with all his third world cronies listening, though freedom of speech in his own country is rewarded with death.....

Sorry guys - we're straying into politics here. Closed.
