"Revised ADA Standards for Accessible Design," which went into effect on March 15"

I'd like to know when this law was passed.

Seems like the free market could have dealt with this without regulations. If there was a great demand for handicapped aces-sable mini golf, somebody would have made a fortune.

Is this satire? Semi-news?

Please, tell me this isn't real. What's next... handicap-accessible Formula-1 racecars, with a passenger seat for the mini-horse?

If this article IS real, Mr. Semmens your services are requested.

Next in, sand traps on golf courses will have to be wheelchair accessible.

The 2010 ADA standards for Accessible Design require that at least 50 percent of golf holes on miniature golf courses be “accessible” – with a ground space that is “48 inches minimum by 60 inches minimum with slopes not steeper than 1:48 at the start of play.”

Can you have a spectacular set of 36 climbing and falling miniature golf holes, with a single flat "green" with 36 holes set in it to get to the 50% limit? Or does the ADA say they have to be just as good as the non-accessible holes.

A person with a disability is defined by the ADA as, “a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment.”

This definitely applies to the people who want to allow the miniature horses - they are clearly mentally impaired. Mental impairment should be allowed, but these people should be barred from making any regulations.

Slope of Mini Golf Holes, Admit Mini Horses as Guide Animals

Yeah, I was surprised as anybody to have found these mandates in our Constitution. How could I have missed them?

They were right next to abortion, penumbra, privacy, 3 gallons per flush, 60 watt light bulbs, and other Founding Father principles that were emphasized in our Constitution.

Why, you ask, are guide mini-horses considered to be guide animals? The answer lies in the photo shown in the article. You know, the one of the blind MUSLIM woman in Michigan riding a bus with her guide mini-horse. You see, Muslims do not like dogs, but then, no surprise the Muslims would not like man’s best friend.

If you’ve ever gone to an antique shop and they have no public restroom, this is why. They have one for themselves but it’s not public because often they can’t bring it to code for the disabled.

Are they just attempting to see how absolutely ridiculous they can make regulations before we explode? Or are they really serious with this BS?

Beach volleyball doesn’t seem compliant either. It’s difficult to manuever the wheelchair through the sand, and the net seems awfully high....
