Additionally, I don't want them going to big city schools, so I moved to a neighborhood in a small town school district. There is absolutely nothing wrong with those choices. In fact, it is my responsibility as a parent to make sure that I make choices that affect my kids in a positive manner.

My decisions aren't made based on some fantasy altruism and I won't apologize for it.
Huh? I don't think he cares if people live in the burbs, he's just saying don't whine and moan about gas prices if you chose to live in a place that requires commuting.

And why does everyone complain about oil companies making so-called excessive profits? What, are they supposed to be charities? If you see a company making 'excessive' profits why not buy stock in it and get some of it for yourself. People forget that corporations are owned by shareholders, regular joe's.
