In the comments section of the post where I proclaimed that I was “the child that ruined the family,” this is the comment:
I would agree. I think the $4 gas per gallon will change a lot of this..
Now how someone would think that a $4/gallon price of gas would make my family’s memories of having me in it turn joyful, or promote anyone to get Lasik surgery (which is where the return link of the commenter led to), I cannot explain.
