Now that you mention it, onions haven't made me tear in forever either. I
blame it on the slow global warming and changing of the structure of the
onion(tm).

That said, the occasional tearing never bothered me when it did happen. I
used to love the "remedies" in the "how to cut an onion without tears"
threads. My all time favorite funny solution was to cut them underwater in
a large bowl of water. LOL!
Oh...and the "light a candle" next to it solution. heheh
