This one only works with the pictures. Imagine someone took the styling
of a 1975 ford country squire wagon and applied it to a Hummer H3.

Nasty. I noticed the handicap tag on the rear view mirror, but I don't
think mental counts as a handicap worthy of the tag.

Over 90% of people using handicap tags I see, I believe must have mental
handicaps because they show no physical problems.

Well, technically they're "ethical handicaps". I'd call them "moral
handicaps" but with so many people cheating on handicapped tags and so
many damned special pleading spots of various sorts that I'm starting
to wonder if not cheating is simply being a chump.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, but certain accounting practices can
result in a fully-depreciated one.

True, I was just giving them the benefit of the doubt as it's impossible
to tell a mental handicap from an ethical one at a distance.

Which is why I find driving to just be a model of the society at large. A
system geared for those who cheat and scam to get ahead. (MFFY and 'just
let them do it')

Back in the '80s I was shaking my head when the military went to the
Hummer to replace the reliable old Jeep. A hummer takes 3x as much
camo as a Jeep. My first thought was that we gave the enemy a much
easier target to hit. Now we see this...ugh. I'll stick to my Jeep,
thank you.
