Its a personal decision for me. I don't expect everyone else to change.
But as someone on this forum has stated before - Follow the money.

That is one thing. However, will it do anything in the long run? Yes, boycotting arab oil will give you a phyrric victory but will it do anything substantial? IOW, will it cause their economy to in any way be altered? If not, why bother with the exercise?
As to what ghandi said, does it mean that if you are being the change you want to see that you will see the change? If not, what is the point? If I save money, I can see my bank account grow. If I plant veggies, I have something to eat. Phyrric victories are great but meaningless.
