Subject: Dropping Gas Prices 

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW
WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

A retired Coca Cola executive sent this.  It came from one of his
engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton.  If you are tired
of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer,
take time to read this please. Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the 'don't buy gas on a certain day'
campaign that was going around last April or
May!  It's worth your consideration.  Join the resistance!!!! 

I hear we are going to hit close to $ 6.00 a gallon by next summer,
and it might go higher!!  Want gasoline prices to come down?
We need to take some intelligent, united action.
The oil companies just laughed at that because they
knew we wouldn't continue to 'hurt' ourselves by refusing to buy gas.

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea has come up with a plan that can
really work.  Please read on and join with us!
By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is
super cheap.  Me too!
It is currently $4.55 for regular unleaded in my town.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned
us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75,
we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS
control the marketplace...not sellers.
With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need
to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if
we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas!
And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How?  Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.
But we CANhave an impact on gas prices if we all act together
to force a price war.  Here's the idea: For the rest of this year,
DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the
two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce
their prices.  If they reduce their prices, the other companies
will have to follow suit.  But to have an impact, we need to reach
literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers.
It's really simple to do!  Now, don't wimp out on me at this
point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach
millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people.  If each of us send it
to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300).  And those 300 send it to
at least ten more (300 x10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time
the message reaches the sixth group of people,
we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers.
If those three million get excited and pass this on to
ten friends each, then 30 million people will have
been contacted!  If it goes one level further,
you guessed it.....  THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send it to 10 people.  That's all!

(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million
and all you have to do is send this to 10 people....
Well, let's face it, you just aren't a
mathematician.  But I am.  So trust me on this one).

How long would all that take?  If each of us sends this e-mail
out to ten more people within one day of receipt,
all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be
contacted within the next 8 days!!!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!
Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on.
I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER
THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN.
THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

Keep it going!!!

Hey! Nothing beats a failure but a try!

Charles Schultz Philosophy

The following is the philosophy

of Charles Schultz,

the creator of

the “Peanuts” comic strip.

You don’t have to actually

answer the questions.

Just read the post

straight through,

and you’ll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest

people in the world.

2. Name the last five

Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners

of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won

the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen

Academy Award

winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade’s worth

of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is,

none of us remembers

the headliners of yesterday.

These are no second-rate achievers.

They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies.

Awards tarnish.

Achievements are forgotten.

Accolades and certificates

are buried with their owners .

Here’s another quiz.

See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers

who aided your journey

through school.

2. Name three friends

who have helped you

through a difficult time.

3. Name five people

who have taught you

something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people

who have made you

feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you

enjoy spending time with .

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who

make a difference in your life

are not the ones

with the most credentials,

the most money,

or the most awards.

They are the ones that care .

Pass this on to those people

who have made a difference

in your life.

“Don’t worry about the world

coming to an end today.

It’s already tomorrow

in Australia .”

(Charles Schultz)

Why, Why, Why,

Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection?

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

 

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an “S” in the word “lisp”?

If people evolved from apes,
why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

 

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

 

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, “It’s all right?” Well, it isn’t all right, so why don’t we say, “That really hurt, why don’t you watch where you’re going?”

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

 

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

And my FAVORITE……

The statistics on sanity is that one out of every four persons are suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends — if they’re okay, then it’s you.

****A day without a smile is like a day without sunshine!****

When I was in high school, there was a group of people who always thought that they were smarter and more intelligent than everyone else.

We called them “The Superior Attitude Club”.

(Unfortunately, they voted me in as a member.)

We would take turns every day voting who was going to be the President, according to who was being the most smart-aleky or arrogant that day.

We had a lot of fun and laughs keeping each other’s egos in check.

It turns out that there are actually Eight Different Kinds of Human Intelligence:

1. PeopleSmart (interpersonal intelligence)
2. SelfSmart (intrapersonal intelligence)
3. WordSmart(verbal-linguistic intelligence)
4. BodySmart (bodily-kinesthetic intelligence)
5. NatureSmart (NatureSmart (naturalist intelligence)
6. ImageSmart (visual-spatial intelligence)
7. SoundSmart (musical-rhythmic intelligence)
8. LogicSmart (logical-mathematical intelligence)

Different people have different mixes of those basic intelligences. Few people are exactly alike in their mix of intelligences. This model explains why people are often smart in some ways and not so smart in other ways.Here’s a great article discussing that very thing:

My parents are heavily into politics. From 1990 to 1993 I was heavily involved in politics, until I made just one too many trips to Washington, D.C., and finally realized that all the letter-writing campaigns in the world don’t really matter unless there’s a big check to go with it.

What does matter, I believe, is the way the voting process is conducted in this country.

Watch this video, from a study conducted by Princeton University, regarding the machines used in many of the voting booths across the country. It’s less than 10 minutes long. You can draw your own conclusions afterwards.

Welcome to Dr. Andrew Colyer.com! We are live today! This is now Dr. Colyer’s official personal and professional blog about anything and everything. Modeling Dr. Joe Vitale (“Mr. Fire!”), this space is for thoughts, news, riffs and reviews about music, health care, fitness, marketing, books, spirituality, metaphysics, Law of Attraction and “The Secret”, and anything else I care to comment on, including humor, movies, the Internet and yes, maybe even sex.

Thank you.
