Get the owedometer mug.Claiming dat your frequent and/or lengthy perusing of and/or posting on internet message-boards is because "it's heredditary" is an invalid defense in two ways --- first of all, just because an older family-member has engaged in an unhealthy practice does not in any way excuse YOU for doing da same --- each of us has an obligation to behave responsibly around our fellow humans as best we reasonably can, regardless of what those who came before us have chosen to do. And then secondly, if you are indeed aware of your senior relative's unwise actions to such a degree dat you can actually verbalize coherently about it, then --- again --- you have da "respect for your fellow man" duty to actively take whatever appropriate steps that are logically within your physical/mental/intellectual capabilities to perform better yourself --- in da words of wise men everywhere, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

A protractor is a geometry device used to create/plot charts and graphs showing the various advantages that gas/diesel/electric motive-power has over horses or oxen, while a contractor is a hired professional whose job is to present the negative effects of motorized farm-machinery.
