I can’t believe how ignorant supposedly intelligent people can be. Ignorant in the fact that they don’t know what they’re talking about not that they are simply “ignorant.”

States differ on placards and disability license plates. Just because your state doesn’t charge for a disability plate doesn’t mean other states don’t.

MS is not a hereditary disease so the mother isn’t passing MS on to her daughter.

As a person living with MS (and have been for 15 years) and a person with a disability placard I think I can speak to both of these issues.

I rarely use my placard simply because I try and use the opportunity for exercise - walking from the farthest spot that I can reasonably expect to walk from. However there are days when I know I may be able to walk into the store that by the time I leave I’ll be lucky to get back to my pickup. Yes I drive a pickup that is more difficult to get into at times but I do it because I LIKE pickups. I’m waiting for the day some IGNORANT individual says something about me parking in a disabled spot. I will enjoy publicly ridiculing them and attempt to make them feel about the size of a flea.

Before you (not any individual here but the general YOU) make some comment or judgement about someones ability to do or not do something stop and use your FRICKIN’ mind. Can you tell a Wounded Warrior is missing a leg or half his intestines by outside appearances if the injury is covered? Are you going to begrudge him a Handicapped spot? Does everyone have to have a wheelchair or pair of crutches to have difficulty walking? And if they’re not taking a handicapped spot away from you then it’s not any of your DAMNED business.

Grow up and get a life.

And so ends my first post. Hope you enjoyed it but then I don’t give a rat’s rear end if you did or not.
