In an unfortunate decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that golfer Casey Martin can use a cart in PGA events. The reason I disagree with the ruling is that walking is a part of the game of golf, and by using a cart Martin does gain an unfair advantage. I know for myself that there is a huge difference bewteen walking up and down hills during a 5 mile course in hot weather versus riding in a cart, and I think that with this court decision, political correctness is taking the place of common sense. We don't give short NBA players stilts, or give slow marathon racers a lift in a car so they can be "equal" with the faster runners. Will the madness ever end?

Someone made a very, uh, interesting map of how American's view the world. The scary thing is that it's fairly accurate.
