#1 
With a feathery boa wrapped around her Peaches T-shirt, Finken commandeered the easternmost pumps. She kicked off the chants with "money for health care!"

"Stop the war!" called the rest of the Code Pinkers.

Finken: "Funding for education!"

Code Pinkers: "Stop the war!"

Half the QuikTrip customers: "Fuck you!"
ROFLMAO! :-D

#3 I never could understand the logic of convincing people to your side by pissing them off.

#5 BAD MISTAKE. People get psychotic at the gas pump over small stuff.

A few years ago, a "Candid Camera"-style show tried a trick at some gas pumps which made the pump still show that gas was pumping, and running up the price, even after the customers had stopped pumping.

The people pumping went violently nuts. They didn't care after the show's producer told them that it was a joke, and all the gas they had pumped was free. They were red-eyed pissed off, and both men and women pushed him and even took swings at him while using the foulest of language.

They didn't air it on television.

#6 "It's another indication of how addicted we've become — some of us aren't willing to take the minute and a half to talk to someone about it. We've lost that willingness to have a conversation or to engage with another living person."

Yeah. Sure. Looking back on it, I've never really had an engaging conversation that started with my interlocutor wrapping a garbage bag around my intended gas pump. I could have missed one, but I don't think so.

#7 good point elarson, I was always too busy inserting the squeegee down their trachea to discuss geopolitical/religion/morality theory.
I guess I'm guilty of insensitivity. Mea Culpa
