That's not the point, you ass. The point was Government mandated regulations that are overbearing and unnecessary.

I don't mind walking at all, but I do mind the COSTS and the INTRUSION of all those extra MANDATED spaces. In many parts, those spaces have become a joke, because any idiot can get a handicapped parking sticker with a simple note from a doctor.

What a stupid thing to say "If you don't like it. Tough!" What's the purpose of free speech, if not to speak out on things we don't like? Sounds totalitarian to me.

She's still a hag too, from the way her son acts.

Then work to get that fixed. In the meantime, every time someone with a handicap comes up and parks, the spaces are doing their job. My mom's not a hag, either. She has a bad knee, and can't walk well. You'll see her, with a cane. When she gets into the store, she grabs one of those motorized carts. And then, guess what? She goes around the store and spends money there. I doubt that the store minds all that much that she comes in and buys things.

But, she's going to have a knee replacement soon. Once that's over, she'll be parking in the regular spaces again.

When I'm in town there, I sometimes go to the store with her. She still parks in the handicapped space, even if I'm driving. Why? Because she can't walk very far right now. The blind person's in the same boat.

Again, if you're healthy and free of disabilities, you can park out in the lot with me.

You need to lay down the crack pipe & figure out whether you are claiming that handicapped spaces go unused or are mis-used. You have said both. You cannot simultaneously claim that the 1.) the spaces sit empty and useless, and 2.) everybody and his dog has a unwarranted parking permit. Well, you CAN, but it reveals you to be an imbecile.
