Leader of a Christian-anarchist-capitalist commune called the Piecemakers,
Kolasinski is a cross between Andrew Dice Clay, a Golden Girl and Timothy
McVeigh. Or maybe just an angrier Ayn Rand. |
<Chuckle> I can assure you that if she's a Christian anarchist leading
a commune, she's not "an angrier Ayn Rand."
Did I miss the part where it says she drives a Toyota? :-)

*** No more pampering of the handicapped with choice parking spaces --
"walking is one form of therapy." |
My wife has Parkinson's. We don't have a handicapped sticker. The
reason has nothing to do with walking as physical therapy.
It's about emotional therapy. A handicapped sticker would be a constant
reminder that she has the disease. We concentrate more on what she
*can* do, not on what she can't, because we humans tend to become what
we believe we are.
We see our job as keeping her fit for the cure. So far we're doing
fine. Thirteen years after the diagnosis she's still bowling twice a
week and taking a half-dozen adult exercise classes. Her neurologist
says he's never seen a person with a more positive attitude. The last
thing she needs is a sign that says, "I'm sick".
But it saddens us to see drivers who abuse the handicapped sticker.
Sometimes a healthy driver will park in a reserved space when the
handicapped family member isn't aboard.
I must say, though, that Ms Kolasinski seems to be an endless source of
bumper stickers. :-)
