20. My Honest Opinion of the Whole Thing is...
that it is a farce. It will have a negligible effect if any at all. Freeperville will have a big laugh over how the whole thing fizzles and we will look even weaker and more ineffective. Remember the big "gas revolt" last summer? Gas sales were actually up!

If we don't turn our power off before we go to bed wednesday night, like or not, we are going to be participating in the economy. Been to freeperville lately? The are holding off on all their major purchases until that day.

I really don't think that this type of protest is going to amount to much. Most of my customers are service companies and other small businesses so I won't be affected.

It would be a good thing if it worked, but these things rarely, if ever do and history bears this out.
