A Sign of The Times

I visited a Whole Foods today and was met by the following:

Before you applaud to much, let me show you something else.

These signs are EVERYWHERE in Australia.

They take into account the physical, emotional and logistical difficulties new and expectant mothers face. This is what I call a sensible attempt to balance everyone in our society.

The person driving a fuel-efficient car being given a spot closer to the door is just fantastically stupid on many levels:

1. Aren't tree-huggers meant to be more healthy? Yes they are, so they can walk a bit farther than your average twinkie-lover.
2. You are asking a person in a car that burns more fuel to drive EVEN FURTHER! That policy is leading to the death of the ice cap.
3. If the program is aimed at producing a better world, explain this. Hybrid cars cost more than regular cars. Therefore those in lower income brackets, that cannot afford to upgrade to hybrids, are automatically excluded from prime parking.
   

Trying to over-think this whole "greening" of America thing is leading to a few really bad ideas. 

What's next a sign telling me not to shit on my stubby legs and small feet while in public?
