Thank you. You are 100% right.
For the record, n the movie I referenced it is completely clear the woman who drives 20 feet to the mailbox does so simply because she can, not because she can't walk. The scene contrasts the "civilized" person with the "primitive" bush person who walks miles a day just to obtain food and water.
But, I just had that conversation the other day with someone about how someone may "look" fine but have legitimate reason(s) for the handicap placard on their vehicle. We both agreed to encourage awareness of this reality and I thank you for doing the same!
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
