Missing The Point
The planning board got together to discuss whether or not more handicapped parking spaces should be reserved for the courthouse patrons. The members were divided. Half of them insisted that there was a potential for more handicapped persons to be at the court house than there were parking spots to accomodate them. The other half thought that to be such a rare occurrence and that it not be prudent to make most of the best parking spots unavailable to the general public. Then one member of the board spoke up and said, “I believe that we should go out of our way to assist those less fortunate then ourselves. In fact, I propose that we make even more parking places reserved solely for the physically challenged. But instead of reserving the front spaces for them, we should move them all to the back of the parking lot…”
