I try hard to show empathy toward folks with mental problems but, TRANSABLED!! Give me a break. How about paralyzed from the neck up? Definitely cut off their legs and crack their skulls and break their necks but do not give them money from medicare or medicaid or SSDI, OR SSI. DON'T EVEN GIVE THEM MY HANDICRAPPED PARKING SPACE!
