Would we have to pay them for Prudhoe infrastructure) and the pipeline? Do they get shut down while BP sells them to China? Nothing is simple. Oh, I think the break up will be very orderly. There will be any number of bidders for BP's parts. I still hope the prognosis is wrong. There will be a lot of pensioners in the UK who will suffer if it should come to BP breaking up.

I just got this email from the stupid people who brought us Martha Coakley. I emailed back saying this boycott is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.....you don't starve the people you want to pay for your clean up. When we started our Boycott BP campaign, we knew we had to get their attention in a language BP understands - profits. Now, we know it's working: A chain of Convenience Stores in Philipsburg, Pa decided to debrand three of its BP-branded stations: "We are debranding BP. We will no longer be associated with BP by the end of the month. We are doing this because of the backlash and bad publicity from the handling of BP's catastrophe," Sean Lay, vice president of operations, said in the report. "We don't want to be associated with them anymore. We've had enough."[Convenience Store News] Our campaign has been covered by everyone from the New York Times to industry trade newspapers. You can be sure that BP is paying attention. Now, let's turn up the heat.
