#2I have to say, I agree with Exxon here. After all, who is truly responsible for excess pollution in the following scenario? John Doe choosing to drive a 9 mile-per-gallon Hummer, or Exxon for pulling 9 gallons of petroleum out of a rock?

I'm gonna have to say it was a group effort.

#4Of course, what better way to thwart public opinion towards collective efforts than to place the individual in a spotlight?

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but only one of them has an advertising budget.

Exxon only advertises their lubricants. Oil is a commodity. Do you know who drilled the oil you fill your automobile with at Sheetz?

Before Exxon was to blame, and now Exxon is telling me it's my fault. Why would I accept that?

Did John Doe get the cities to pull up all their streetcar rails and make life without cars much more inconvenient, or was that public policy project undertaken and pushed forward by the large oil interests?

Ah, Exxon wasn’t involved in this scandal but you’re ignoring large systemic pushes by oil and car companies (in this case GM and Standard Oil) to increase people’s need for oil. [1]
It’s nice to have us all bickering about which cars we own when most of us shouldn’t need a car at all.
