wow, somebody else knows what's going on... it's a shame not all of them get it.
something to think about
: fully 1/4 of all crude used by our country comes from North America.
almost 50% of crude used by our country comes from countries in OPEC.
only 10% of crude is imported from Saudi Arabia. say what you will, but if you want to get their attention, something BIG needs to happen. you'd have more of an impact on North American crude production and OPEC countries, which include Ecuador, Nigeria and Venezuela, than the Saudis with any boycott.
these figures come from raw data on the Department of Energy's website:

edit: whenever applicable, my posts will contain a link to the information i use in any argument, so at least you know i will be doing my research.
