[QUOTE="a454elk, post: 249148, member: 23609"] I have to flame this, not that I'm old yet but on the road to it. I have seen this too many times and it really pisses me off. The old saying still goes, "A Father can raise five sons but five sons can't take car of one Father". Why do we as a society, discard our elderly. These are the people that have made our country for us. They fought for us, raised us and opened businesses to help us. I think that after a certain age, along with the handicap placards, you should have the right, as an elderly person, to park up by the front of the store. Why not, you deserve it. Just because you don't have a disability shouldn't automatically mean that you can walk 100 yards to the store. We put our elderly in homes because our kids can't seem to get it together to help them. Don't they realize how important it is to them to be at home, not in a home. I for one, have made it a point to help my Mother in any way I can. Why not, she did it for me for my first 18 years, it's the least I can do. I spent over 30 minutes one day helping an elderly man find his car in a parking lot because he forgot where he parked. To see the lost look on his face when he had no idea where his car was just killed me. That could have been my Dad somewhere. The next time you grab that close spot next to the door, take a look in the mirror and see if that eldery person is behind you hoping for any open spot. Let them have it, it'll make all the difference. Just my 2 cents. Elk [/QUOTE]
