Handicapped Ramps

It's a hot day today, and I had plans to ride up Signal Mountain with my friend Marc. Marc is the man who inspired me to ride, and I enjoy those Sundays that I am able to ride with him. As I came down off the mountain however, the heat was getting to me. I was starting to get a headache, so I decided to stop at a convenience store for a moment of cold drink and shade. As I was sipping my drink and thinking about getting back on the road a truck pulled up and promptly parked right in front of the handicapped ramp.

Of course, this meant I wouldn't be using it with my bike, but more I was disturbed by the blatant disregard for its purpose. It made me think of the general disregard for others that I see day in and day out. I know this isn't common everywhere, Wisconsin was quite the opposite, but it seems more and more common.
