Consumers across the country are feeling the strain of the rising fuel costs. Some, if further backed into a corner, are considering resorting to desperate measures. Here is an excerpt from the recent All Talk Citizens Brigade gas summit in upstate New York:

“Listen up everyone. Gas prices are skyrocketing just like they did last summer. It’s time to take action. Let’s boycott using the pumps for an entire day and really show those greedy oil companies that we’re mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!”

– “Wait, instead of just one day, maybe we should just use less gas from now on – ride our bikes sometimes, walk more often, or even stop driving so many SUVs all together?”

“No, no. If we alter our way of life for more than a day then the Hess-martyrs, Mobil-ban insurgency, Citgo-lutionaries and Turquoise Valeroists of the world will win. No, we are going to hit those slime balls where it hurts and not give them a dime next Wednesday. Oh we’ll fill-up again – but only after we’ve sent a clear and definitive message.”
