Handicap Parking

I'm sick of living in a world where there's still discrimination. Everywhere I go I see it. In the streets, the parking lots, movie theatres, sporting events, bathrooms, the list goes on. I'm talking about handicap parking spaces. It's wrong. We tell them where they have to park, where they have to sit, what line to go in. In a grocery store they can't just walk like a normal person, but we make them take a wheel chair. They can't just park anywhere they want, but have to take one of the handicapped parking spaces. They have to carry around a sign that practically says "I'm handicapped discriminate against me." I can't stand it any more and I am ashamed that noone else has spoken out about it. Let them park where they want. It's bad enough that they have a problem, you don't need to make it worse. Anyone who is handicapped should park as far away from the store as they want, sit where they want, use whatever stall in the bathroom they want, and let me get all the good parking and big seats.
