    Actually 7 - Eleven already has so CITGO wouldn't be there anymore. 7-Eleven wants to sell their own brand now.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    Should I stop buying gas from Citgo? Cheapest gas around but it does go into the coffers of a dictator.

    i know they say that hugo's comments didnt have any play on that decission... you think thats true ?

    either way it will probably end up being a smart move on 7-11's part

    The only people hurt are the american employees, who work for the american-affiliate of Citgo. Citgo is based in Houston, Texas by the way. Not Caracas Venezuela. Citgo is run, operated, and managed by Americans.

    well from a bussniss stand point, i dont think i would do it to hurt venezuela, but more to help the product that they sell, its alot harder to sell your product when the name get trashed on the scale that citgo is
