This is a complicated issue, and it certainly appears to be a wrongheaded decision on the part of this judge, although the issue deserves further debate.
As for this...
>Some handicapped would benefit from a little walk, a little struggle. Maybe they would learn some pride in achievement.
Classy post. If you believe that, good for you. Some of us do NOT benefit from such things, and you don't get to define what constitutes achievement for the blind or otherwise handicapped. With all due respect to the Marine referenced in the post you were responding to, in my experience, there is reason to be grateful for handicapped parking spaces, even if other aspects of the ADA are poorly designed & have clearly been twisted & abused.
Thanks so much for your compassion and understanding. Have a great day.
My words were "some" of them. And yes, SOME of them could use a little walk. I never said there should be no handicapped spaces either. I said there are TOO MANY of them. They are never full.
Retooling the system to create money for the blind is costly. In this age of debit cards and such, it is also unnecessary.
Having braille on money, resizing money, would not prevent real thieves from committing fraud against the blind. A taxi driver can charge the $5.00 on the meter or he can charge $5.50. The only difference braille or other changes on money would do, is make sure the blind pay the exact amount of the fraud.
Also. There is no need to get nasty with me. Real Classy, you are.
Awesome. You expressed it better than I ever could. My response is usually somewhere along the lines of how conservatives pride themselves with possessing compassion that doesn't have to be legislated. Comforting in words, but means nothing without actions.
