- Just be honest about how selfish that attitude is: the auto use is vary
- bad for your kids. 20 min. of being with you can't compensate for having
- their lungs destroyed with toxic emissions. You are like the beggars

- they are harming their kids, but asking you to help them "for the sake
- of the kids"! Such hypocracy!!!
