I can just see the ripple of laughter that goes through the oil company's boardrooms every time someone proposes a "Don't buy gas" day, because each and every time it shines the light of truth on the fact that the good folks of this country refuse to unite behind ANY cause, no matter what it is...or how easy it would be to do it. How damn hard could it be for most people to avoid buying gas for 1 day?
I'm afraid our culture has been diluted to the point where presenting a strong united front on ANYTHING is forever a thing of the past. As far as I can tell, from a historical standpoint, no country, empire, etc., has ever reached the equivilant to where we are in our life-cycle and subsequently recovered from it to regain the qualities that propelled it to greatness in the first place.
