However, neither of these examples rise to the same level as asking someone with emphysema to walk across a parking lot. The same reasoning applies to your examples. Being poor or a non-English speaker doesn't rise to the same level of disadvantage as being blind.
an overweight person who has problems with walking or walking long distances can be classified as disabled and can apply for a disabled sticker.

which, as a person from an overweight family, I support. if my mother has any more problems walking, she would need one, my stepfather has a bad hip and cant walk without a cane, and he does have a car, and he does have a sticker.

but as for the rights for the disabled, I would give free copies of my book to all blind people if I could do it for free on my end.if I cant, this law makes if legal for others to.
