   Having had to hobble on crutches and in pain past miles (ok, an   
   exaggeration) of empty handicapped spaces to get to and from work   
   after a hip operation, my sympathy is extremely lacking.  I count that   
   as pain handicapped activists have inflicted on me, and for that I   
   hope their privileged spaces are filled all the time.

   Nope, handicapped spaces are special pleading.   
   --   
     There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can   
     result in a fully-depreciated one.
