Your concept of "handicapped" is somewhat archaic. My wife frequently uses a walker - she has MS. If she doesn't, she is capable of walking short distances. She can likely get from a handicapped space to a grocery basket, but not from a space out in the lower 40.

You seem to have a negative view on lots of issue. Try smiling once in awhile.
