We adjust/forget so easily.<BR/><BR/>Maybe those who park in the handicapped spots have a mental disability ;)Promodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239089296177027814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660460810418738523.post-67253292790446167362008-04-28T12:59:00.000-04:002008-04-28T12:59:00.000-04:00Promod, I had a similar experience several years a...Promod, I had a similar experience several years ago in a hotel in Detroit. For some unknown reason I was given a handicapped room which, to my surprise, was located over 60 stories up (a long way down the stairs in the event of fire). <BR/><BR/>I had similar misgivings about depriving a handicapped person of a needed room. But I think that the big issue for me was why the room was located so high up in the hotel.<BR/>No one at the front desk could explain how I had gotten the room in the first place and why it was so high. <BR/><BR/>The truth is somewhat cruel...<BR/> <BR/>While we pay lip service to the needs of the disabled, most people still do not give it much thought. That's why designated handicapped parking spaces are often filled with cars driven by people who are not disabled, or have permits that they are not intitled to. <BR/>I think that on top of a huge fine they should also be sentenced to spend a week confined to a wheelchair.<BR/>Now, down off my soapbox...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
