My local govt is installing wheel chair cutouts on corners where there are no sidewalks (and no plans to install them )or passage for wheelchairs.. and the list goes on.

5. America certainly has its priorities straight.

I would like to have every member of Congress live in abandoned junk cars in the North for the month of January. Might give the bastards a different perspective on life!
