I will take the high road and assume you're making a generalization about
children.

However not *any* four-door vehicle can fit me and my family. Not really
up for arguing as only I can decide what is comfortable and fitting for
me. I'm sure you can fit in a suit that is 1 or 2 sizes too small but
would you want to?

I do however wish I could fit in smaller vehicles. I prefer them over
their road and gas hogging cousins.

How is babysitting relevant to what vehicles I or anyone else drives?

What gives with the brats thing?

See, OS zealots are just not tolerated in these neck of the woods ;)
Remember what works for you doesn't always work for other people. In fact
most professional employers dislike a zealot mentality. Hey I love Linux
and Unix. It has it's place on my network and my employers network. There
is also a place for Windows and other crap. It most environments its about
getting the job done. Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix all have their place for
getting jobs done.

Let me take a hit off my hookah so I can understand these last paragraphs.
Nope, still not making the connection :) I'm messing with ya.
