How 7-11 Gets Gas
We have a deserted Citgo gas station on a local corner in my town. It has been 
there for years and was driven out of business by a BP (this is British Petroleum who are trying to change the fact that they are foreign owned in a similar way the Kentucky Fried Chicken tried hide the fact that their food was fried with KFC) and brand new Sterling station. The competition was too much for them and they closed up shop. The closing of the gas station happened in the late spring or early summer so it was not a product of last weeks United Nations lambasting of President Bush by the dictator from Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
Chavez, a devout communist and close friend of Fidel Castro, came to the United Nations and addressed the members of that distinguished body. (I think I am going
to be sick.) He started out by insulting our President, who had spoken earlier and then called him Satan and a drunk. You know that when someone cannot find any way to disagree with what you say, they revert to name calling. I stopped that when I was 10 but I guess that they must mature more slowly closer to the equator. I am amazed by the absurd things that people say when you give them a world wide platform. That people listened past the first few words is astounding but then again, there are plenty of Americans and other world citizens with righteous socialist leanings.
One thing that Hugo Chavez and his nation of Venezuela have is a vast reserve of crude oil. He has gotten very wealthy of late with the oil prices as high as they are. He has a US outlet for the gasoline that he is currently selling in our
country; Citgo. There have been numerous discussions lately of boycotting Citgo gasoline stations. The institution of convenience stores, 7-11, who had a 20 year contract with Citgo has decided to change to domestic providers once their contract is up in the next several weeks. They have discovered that when piss ant dictators of third world slums try to dictate to the US how we run our country, it does not set well with Americans. Again, we vote with our pocketbooks. Americans sure know what they like.
