While I would also like to invite you to come fly gliders, the operative
reg to read first if you have medical issues is 61.53(b).

yes that is always another choice to fly gliders. Flying Light-Sport
aircraft with the Sport Pilot license will give a pilot many more choices.

If a person has a medical condition that would prevent him or her from
passing a Class III medical examination, then they DAMN SURE SHOULD NOT BE
FLYING. PERIOD!
I can understand the rationale behind not bothering with a medical to
keep the cost of flying down. I can understand the rationale behind not
bothering in the case of someone who is not interested in flying outside the
restrictions.
I just can't believe the intention of the ruling is to let a physically
unfit person fly.

That's a simplistic attitude there Casey. There are many things that
would prevent you from passing a medical that have absolutely no affect on
your flying abilities.

For example, let's say that you're having a bit of trouble sleeping, the
Doc prescribes an anti-depressant, a common solution and one that will
cause problems.

Presto, you now will not pass a medical and you could fly safely. There
are LOTS more examples of similar things that could ground you. You could
get allergies that the doc gives you a medicine that would prevent you
from passing a medical.

You are making the classic mistake of assuming that because you can't pass
a Class 3 medical you are unfit to fly, there's a lot of paper problems
that can ground you and that my friend is why many pilots look forwards to
this. They've been grounded for no good reasons.
