I'm trying to read the post without prejudice, but it appears to me that Gary is saying that every time someone uses a car it means they are in favor of making his son ill. I would assume that means that every use of a car is a bad thing. I am obviously very prejudiced, but I can't help myself. I must be learning disabled. Is there some grant I can apply for?
