"Probably because, well, IE just makes me feel dirty."

That, I suppose, is the sign of a well-functioning marketing duopoly. Y'a know. Coke-Pepsi Republican-Democrat. Beatles-Stones. It is the marketing analogy of good cop/ bad cop. It recalls the narrow-mindedness of those internet sleuths who parse 'smokes tobacco' to read 'the author is a pothead,' when there is in, reality, a universe of things one could put in one's pipe!

I drive by Shell, my tank is low, but I think 'But what about the Ogoni?' and pass a BP, they lied about the damage the did to the Gulf. Then I think, there is no known petroleum company without sin. And I am depressed. Then, I pull into Citgo, which is a Venezuelan joint. At least some of my money goes to a country seeking to be decently socialized. Think I will use cash. . .

The typical John Q. doesn't have the means to properly investigate all of the ethics of the vendors who supply him. But he still needs to think of himself as a good guy. This little trick lets him off of the hook.
