Just call him MacHandicap

A lot of people say that our society that isn’t as intelligent as we were in past times. That’s an understandable statement. The constant use of abbreviations and acronyms, combined with a drastic drop in our collective ability to spell correctly, speaks volumes. Mind you, that’s not even including the fact that, with every generation, things get easier because we invent a new tool or process that can simplify a previously difficult task. Who needs to know how to fight off a bear when we can shoot them in their dumb bear nose from afar?

Ezekiel Rubottom is not one of those people. For that matter, he would like to give a big F and a big U to the naysayers.

Rubottom lost his leg to a bone disease and has worn a prosthetic for some time now; however, prosthetic legs aren’t made for an extended life. The man has decided that he doesn’t want to have to go through the rigmarole of government hassle and instead has decided to build his own prosthetic. And from the sounds of it, he’s got a good shot at doing so.

Hey, United States government, here’s a freebie from SG: If he’s able to build his own prosthetic leg, you’ll definitely want to keep him on the side of angels rather than the distinguished competition.
