How stupid are you?
In reference to your post...very large percentage of handicap parking permits (in NY anyway) are issued to fat people for "difficulties resulting from obesity" and are accompanied by symptoms of shortness of breath, and weakness of joints due to weight. In plain english...Majority of fat people with handicap parking privliges have them because they are destroying their bodies by over eating...and we have to pay for that...Fuck them! These are the same poeple draining our economy with workman's comp because they cannot work. Save those parking permits for poeple with asthma, missing limbs and real handicaps. Or even pregnant women or moms with kids...Although the welfare mongers would take advantage of that one for sure...you know who you are!

What do you want next, a special lane on the highway for intoxicated drivers?
Or special bus service for those who lose their license for a DWI?

In the old days if you got fat you were a fucking outcast, tarred and feathered unless you were a productive member of society (or sideshow at a carnival) and only the strong survived. Our society keeps labelling everything some sort of "disease" like gambling or drug addiction. If you can't control yourself, I say drop dead so the rest of us can flourish instead of being dragged down in a soft "enabling" society.
