that's right

forget about gas prices - what we need is more education on which
companies take repsonsibility when their  "product" winds up on out
beaches and the beaches of the wildlife that have nothing to do with
this oil madness.

I am all for boycotting Exxon in particular,  if it would work, for at
least two reasons.  Gas prices are up and yet last year they posted
record profits of over 30 BILLION dollars.  Inspite of these record
profits they still refuse to pay the paltry 5 billion in settlement
money for the Prince William Sound spill 17 years ago.  They claim that
they should only have to pay 25 million and because of the amount spent
on the clean up they have already covered that.  There is still plenty
of oil to be found in the beaches of the Sound and will be for years to
come.  Unfortunately they do not have any outlets in Alaska so Alaskans
can not vote with their wallets on this issue.
