Why do you choose to defend Chavez?

Sorry, JimH, but apparently I'm not bright enough to follow along here.


If you say so.



Uh, oh. It's the childish JimH. Next will be the lying, nasty to
everyone JimH. Classic bipolar!!


Classic obsession.


He has either named me in one of his posts or responded directly to me when
my post had nothing to with him........at least 2 dozen times today and
another 2 dozen yesterday, each time inviting a fight and doing exactly what
he accuses me of doing.

Funny stuff!

After all, somebody is buying all those records,
aren't they?


Yup.
Canadians, Australians, and the Brits.


A lot of them must be flying to Texas to do so. 20,000 of those 520,000
copies were sold in Houston alone.


Those were Katrina evacuees.





You're discounting the fact that people can turn to mobile fueling
services.


And in that case have *no idea* what brand of fuel they're getting.


They can't ask?

Furthermore, a lot of
marinas associated with fuel docks aren't going to let a competing fuel
sales vehicle pull up and start pumping. There are environmental
concerns to consider, as well as the fact that the marina is getting a
rake-off from the fuel dock and wouldn't get one from some guy in stove
oil truck.


What about boats like mine, that sit on a lift or at a dock?

Doc, they can ask, but I very seriously doubt if the majority of the
guys 'n gals that run the check out, selling $2 buck sunglasses ,
lighters, chips, and lottery tickets would normally have a clue.

You've proven yourself the lowest of the low lifes. Anyone who would
spread lies about someone and their family without any evidence or fact
is indeed low. Anyone who would say nasty and untrue things about
someone's children is even lower. You did all of the above, didn't you,
bipolar boy?

A lot of things turn out to have unexpected consequences.
(According to this morning's paper, US Intel Agencies have just
completed an assessment that concludes a certain foreign policy
decision that we were assured was designed to reduce the risk of
terrorism in the US has actually increased it, for example) The good
news about a CITGO boycott is that it would not increase the threat of
terrorism in the US, (except perhaps by straining an already difficult
relationship between Bush and Chavez) but on the other hand it wouldn't
do one darn thing to make you or your family safer. The most likely
unexpected consequences of boycotting the CITGO dock is that you might
drive the fuel dock operator out of business. You might get kicked out
of your marina if you try to do any agitating, organizing, or otherwise
damage the business of the fuel dock -(proabably economically linked to
the marina). Or, you might just run out of gas.

If it makes you feel any better, and if there are multiple fuel docks
in your vicinity,
don't buy CITGO. Freedom of choice. But don't feel like the boater you
see taking on fuel at the CITGO dock is helping Hugo Chavez aim his
(imaginary) nuclear warheads at the rooftop of your family's home. He
or she is certainly not, nor are you having any impact on terrorism by
purchasing your refined products elsewhere.

Chuck,
Do you get the feeling this might be a troll? Somehow I can't believe
anyone would really believe a boycott of Citgo Gas Stations is going to
hurt Venezuela's ability to sell every gallon of oil or gas they want to.

I try my best to stay away from the political posts, but sometimes they
pull me in, by their shear stupidity.

One of the funniest comedy skits on a sit com - The Rev. Jim getting
his driver's license on "Taxi".

Rev. Jim whispering: "Psst - what does a yellow light mean?"

Alex, bobby and Elaine whisper back: "Slow down"

Rev Jim: "WHAT.....DOES......A.......YELLOW......LIGHT..... ..MEAN?"

Cast: "SSSSSLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWW DDDDDDOOOOWWWWNNNN."

Repeat one more time. The Reverend Jim is one of my all time favorite
TV characters.

Along with "Howling Mad" Murdock from "The A Team".

If only because they remind me so much of....well, me. :)

Thanks for reminding me of that - made me smile.



Jim from taxi reminds you of yourself??

Then Laka must remind Bert of himself.

That's "latke", a potato pancake in Yiddish. His last name was "Gravis", if
I recall. Latin: Adjective. grave. serious · solemn

Serious potato pancake. :)
