Good for you, Lies!!!!

Quote for you today:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." (margaret mead)

You have more power than you know. Times are tight right now, even for gas station owners. A well-placed letter to the editor naming his store personally, a flyer sent 'round to the people in the neighborhood, a little protest with a handful of friends that gets some ink in the local paper or a camera pointed at it......could put him out of business in times like these. Profit margins are slim and there's an awful lot of competition out there.

I no longer believe that "it doesn't matter what you do, they don't care what you do" because I've seen for myself that cop-out just isn't true.

I just say, "Oh, they WILL care. You just watch."

Way to go, I say.

P.S. I don't give my money to unethical people or companies. Period. I don't care how cheap their friggin' gas is.
