A word about Handicapped Placards...
My handicap placard is because of my coronary insufficiencies, but those are of course largely invisible. However, if I over-exert, I will drop dead in my tracks. That is a pretty serious health issue. (My ICD will be implanted as soon as the insurer pulls its institutional thumb out).
And do I get looks? Oh **** yeah, I get looks. People think they can ****ing diagnose persons with physical limitations just by looking at us. Arrogant assholes...even qualified medical practitioners can't do an eyeball scan and see my cardiovascular issues. But far too many laypeople think they can do such an analysis. ****ing ridiculous.
When you see someone with such a placard, remember how little we can tell about a stranger's health via a glance.
Gee, I wonder if that message could possibly be applied elsewhere in a DUmmy's dealings with others...Here we have yet another DUmmy with serious health issues, despite the constant clucking over there that they're the healthiest group on the planet.
Anyway, imagine what DU would look like if they decided to get to know people before they ground them into the dirt. Mind you, being ground into the dirt by such hateful, marginal people is hardly an inconvenience, but still.
Here, by the way, is riqster learning about others before judging them:

3. Just as stupid as the Wisconsin electorate.
Which appeared in this thread.Riqster: I hope you plop over walking into KFC from the far side of the lot because a Hummer with a Wisconsin plate took the handicapped spot with no placard.
