The Amazing Hypnotist Redux

Something should be done about the high gas prices. I also believe that collectively, as one voice we could be heard. However, I don't think that one day will be effective. Want gasoline prices to come down? We need to take some intelligent, united action.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May! The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas. It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them. BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really work. Please read on and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $1.50 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $3.05 for regular unleaded in my town. Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace..not sellers. With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action. The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.
How?
Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas. But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.
Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest co (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!
I am emailing this link to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers.
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!
Again, all you have to do is send this message to 10 people. That's all!
(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am...so trust me on this one.) :-)
How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!! I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you! Acting together we can make a difference.
If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we do not buy gas from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $1.30 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.
Bring down the gas prices

I ask you, the readers, to quickly dig deep into your memory vaults and recover any memories (that you may or may not have) of the internet 15 years ago. Do you recall having 5 different email accounts...or even one email account? Was there an AOL? How did you ever live without myspace, email, online shopping, downloading, web communities (WHAT...a virtual community? If the rent is cheap and the gas prices are then low you can count me in), Laptops, Palms, iTunes, Google, AIM, PC'S, WIFI, iPOD, and every other three or four letter word ...the list goes on and on. My question is this: With the conveniences of all this technology and information, is the world getting smarter or dumber? Check out what the search terms below reveals.
After clicking the above terms you find a plethora of results. A recent search in google retrieved 712,000,000 pages that matched my return. Granted, they may not all be qualified results, but the point is that 15 years has created a convenient society where anything and everything is available at a click of a button.
After I returned from Physical Therapy to relieve my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome caused by all of that clicking, I found that today’s convenient society is simply breeding laziness. Most have adopted the modern day theory "if you can't find it on Google then it doesn't exist". Google is good but it certainly is not the absence of 'o' in good.
I challenge you to leave the cell phone at home and live the way our forefathers lived 15 years ago.

One of the only redeeming parts about air travel these days — other than the ubiquitous barf bag, the lovable bag that says it’s okay to be lazy, that in fact we encourage you to be lazy and instead of politely excusing yourself to go throw up in the bathroom you can just sit there and toss up in this convenient puke receptacle while everyone watches — is the free copy of Sky Mall Magazine you get in the seat pocket.
For those of you who don’t know what Sky Mall is just imagine my pot-bellied neighbor up the street who wears flannel shirts with the arms cut off, how he’s constantly trying to come up with inventions to make his life easier, like what would it take to build an alarm clock that not only wakes you up in the morning but can also simultaneously pour ketchup on a hot dog? How have I survived without this technology? HOW MUCH BETTER WOULD LIFE BE? Sky Mall is a catalog of that man’s ideas.
Several copies of Sky Mall always seem to make it into my carry-on. Why? Because who can't live without The Portable Pet Staircase, The Remote Control Golf Ball, and my personal favorite, The Personal Alcohol Breath-Screening Device for those moments when your slurred speech and flammable breath aren’t enough of an indication that you shouldn’t be operating machinery.
Has anyone ever ordered a product from this magazine? I am curious to know whether or not they ever came out of the box.
Hi, I read.
