Reply #33: If you had regularly patronized a BP station it is likely you got to know the people working there,

[elocs]

maybe some of them for years, hearing about their kids or how they are struggling to get by. They might be a neighbor or a friend. What kind of person could feel righteous about boycotting a BP station if those kind of little people are hurt and are laid off or lose their jobs?

Also, many seem to strut and act all noble about boycotting BP stations when the rarely, if ever, even patronize one. It doesn't bother them if the little people lose jobs since what is important is that they have their jobs.

It's also immaterial whether the station sells BP gas (yes, real BP gas, specially refined from specific BP pumped oil and then sent to their stations) since the point is to feel noble and righteous about their mistaken belief they are bringing BP to its knees (like if they really could that would help BP pay all the costs and damages they will need to pay for years).
