Am I the only one who thinks that building bigger is better? Ok, not all the time, but it sounds to me that parking is an issue in Hicksville. While I agree...

Lawyers being lawyers. Can I sue the guy who called me an "a-hole" the other day because I cut him off on the escalator while he was blabbing away on his...
This suit may be seen as frivolous by some - but the bottom line is that if the LIRR had handled it properly (had the ramp ready, helped him leave the train)...
Good one. Very true. Thanks. The few times I've simply diplomatically asked for people to turn it down have not gone well--e.g. then I'm stuck sitting next...
Based on the way the article reads, if they didn't use the term 'wheelchair passenger' there probably wouldn't be a lawsuit. The LIRR should apologize, but...
