BP Backs Off

No sooner thanI posted the previous blog message in the wee hours of early morning on the 24th, as I strolled through the local supermarket shopping for odds and ends today, I came upon the Sun-Times with a large headline proclaiming that BP has backed off it's pollution plans. I guess my blog commentary was the final straw that broke the oil giants back. Excuse my delusions of grandeur, as Han Solo would say. Democracy in action folks, or is it the free market in action. Threaten a boycott in a major newspaper and the company folds. Makes you wonder what else this boycott tool might be able to change.
