Words Retracted

As the old saying goes; "when I am wrong I say I was wrong":
"I was wrong."
In an earlier post - or maybe the right word would be "rant" I suggested something to the affect of "stop buying from bp" over my frustration with the gulf spill.
Then last night I watched a news segment interview of a local convenience station owner - yes of the bp franchise. This local guy was talking about how much negative backlash his station has received since the oil spill. How he is as angry as anyone, but when he purchased his bp franchise it was not an endorsement of environmental disasters, it was just life in America living his dream.
He feels just as bad about this ongoing situation, probably feels a whole lot worse. His shame is his livelihood and they are one in the same "bp". No more his fault for eking out a living than it is our fault in the greedy pursuit of gasoline.
Sorry bp downhome guy! Of course this is not exclusive behavior by bp. Before we do our filling, somewhere there is drilling.
As it goes....we are all one under the same sun.....
