It is not in our favor to see BP go bankrupt. Then we the Americans will be left holding the bag. IMHO

The stations are franchises and boycotting will only have the effect of increasing unemployment and working hardships on franchisees when they go under because of this type action. There is lots of concern about Gulf Coast people losing their livlihoods.....what about the individual station owners? If BP ends up going bankrupt (which they probably will, anyway), the spill problem will not cure itself. Even after the well is no longer leaking, there is still lots to be done.
