I hate “Big Oil.”

I hate them, passionately.

I hate their profits.

I hate their power.

I hate their arrogance.

I hate their very existence.


I hate BP.

I hate them, passionately.

I hate the thought of the people they kill.

I hate the thought of the wildlife they kill.

I hate the thought of the environment they destroy.

I hate the thought of the livelihoods they destroy.

I hate all of the lies they tell.

I hate their very existence.


I hate “Big Oil.”

I hate them, passionately.

I hate their profits, their power, their arrogance.

I hate their very existence.

But, especially,

I hate using their product every time I drive.
