No, fully-deductible ones are a different matter.

Too bad, because that's the only meaning that applies. Park in a
handicapped spot without a placard, and it doesn't matter if you've
got only one arm and one leg (and that one prosthetic from the knee
down), you're guilty. So now when I look at handicapped spots, all I
think of is the pain of limping past them. **** them.

And all because you were too damned lazy to get your NJ doctor to sign
PA's forms.

Or you, as the case seems to be.

Well, your definition of "there" sucks, because your definition is
extremely self-centered, and doesn't take into condiseration that you
could have gotten a temporarty plackard.
Saying that your definition is the one that applies will only fly if
you add "to me" to it, and that would only further demonstrate how
self-centered it is.

'Round here, thats called a hiccup.

These are the same people that will leave their diesel pickups idling in
the parking lot, since apparently the fuel 'gels' or something when its
cold. I don't think 40F is cold enough for that to happen, but I'm still
rewarded with the sound of idling diesel for 20 minutes while these
bonemunchers eat.

Personally, I predict within a year or two, you're going to be able to
pick up vehicles like that, as well as your giant SUV's for pennies on the
dollar when the gas does the exponential curve thing.

My original message _said_ "there for me".

Well, your definition of "there" was:

"If by "there" you mean I could have used them, gotten ticketed, then
later gone into court to fight the $500-$1000 fine (and lost). That's
a meaning of "there" I have a bit of argument with."

Now I could be wrong but... It sounds to me like you never bothered to
apply for a placard and are now blaming the system for your problem.

Saw a blurb on the news the other night that there is already a trend
to more fuel economy when buying cars. That is that fewer gas hogs are
being bought.

It depends on what your definition of the word "is" is.
