I'm sure a little scanner could be developed for a million $ and sold for $25.

You know what they say about paying a blind woman for sex...

You really have to hand it to her.

Agreed. I think its a good idea... for the President & Congress. But not for a Judge.

Clearly the ADA does not mandate braille on bills.

I'm only surprised that the judge did not (yet) order the other two branches of government to make the blind to see ...

There is a computer card for the blind that will allow them to use the Internet by voice commands. Cost a 1000.00 so we don't have one.

Shep on Fox is about to report on this. Was there some blind people uprising over this? Guess I missed it.

My husband is blind and it happens all of the time. He usually will feel the motion of the other person's hand and immediately sticks his hand out. If he has misjudged, the the other person usually will respond with his hand.

Korea's Won has built in dimples that do not flatten out when worn.

Like those one thousand parking places for the handicapped in front of every store

That law came out when I was in the Air Force, stationed in Germany. By definition, there were zero disabled Airmen. There were no disabled dependents at our base. And the BX had literally half the parking places it needed, the nearest overflow parking was a couple blocks away. But there that handicapped spot was, waiting patiently for someone who would never park there, while we sat in line, in the car, in the rain and snow, waiting on someone to leave so that we could park.

I've resented handicapped parkers ever since, particularly the people with no visible handicap that walk perfectly well.

My father-in-law, a retired Marine with a spinal cord injury that rendered him almost unable to walk, steadfastly refused until the very day he died to either use a cane, or park in a handicapped parking place. Semper Fi, Pop.

Interesting. There must be other solutions out there.

...Why not require talking money?...

Exactly. Put in a chip like the ones in musical greeting cards.

The money could all be broadcasting at once:

"HUNDRED DOLLARS!..FIVE DOLLARS!...ONE DOLLAR!!..."

It would make working in a bank a real joy.

Canadian bills have had braille on them for quite a while now...

And Canadian bills look goofy too - funny money.
Yeah. Let's copy Canada, eh?
