There's a lot of real news coming out today. Amazing scandals that knock me off my chair. So if you're looking for something substantial, I guess go to the next diary. This is kind-of just a side thought I had (and it may have been diaried before, though I couldn't find it).
The idea is that if pharmacists can refuse to fill birth-control prescriptions on moral grounds, couldn't gas station workers refuse to allow Hummers to fill up their 32 gallon tanks on the same grounds?
What if all the young progressives out in there who work in gas stations just turned off the pump every time an SUV that gets under 20mpg pulled up? All they have to do is say that they oppose it on religious grounds. And since the bible says no more about abortion and contraceptives than it says about destroying the earth using a symbol of extreme wealth, I don't think it's any more outrageous a claim than the pharmacists made.
I think that would be very interesting.
No text below, but a poll.
Update: I hear that in NJ and OR, all pumps are full serve. In that case carrying out this idea would be much easier!
