Cindy Popp Milton District Hospital Take a look in the mirroir, lady Dear Editor: 1 am writing so the lady who parked in the handicapped spot at Tim Hortons Saturday, Apr. 22. Actually, you took up two parking spots. 1 watched as you threw a handicapped permit onto the dash. Speaking of dash, I was quise impressed with thse one you made to the front door (despite your "disability"). Speaking of impressed, I was, when you told me with a straighs face that you had flot taken up two, parking spaces and you were hsndicapped. You then further degraded yourself by cursing as me for stating the obvious. You really served as a positive role model for the young lady sitsing next to you, when you childishly performed numerous three-point tums backing out of the handicapped space. Your physician totally misdiagnosed your condition. Being rusde, Iazy, sellish and inconsiderate does nos qualify you for a handicapped parking permis. If you happen to be one of those people who are always asking, "What's wrong with young people today?" I suggest you take a good, long look in the mirror lady. Paul Wilson Milton The only responsible choice Dear Editor: Re: Hunser safety manual. Any child who watches television or plays video games knows how to load a gun, point it at someone and pull the trigger. They see it 10 times a day in prime time and about 10 times a minute in a sypical video game. God forbid that they should have access to information that actually shows themn how to safely handle a firearm. Giving kids accesa to reliable safety information about any acsivity is the only responsihle choice. 1 applaud shis initiative.
