I hope I don't seem argumentative -- I'm responding because I think this is an interesting topic, not because I have a desperate need to change anyone's mind --

If access is mandated, but the propery owner retains the right to refuse service, then that is a strange outcome. The government forces me to spend $100,000 on a wheelchair ramp, and when someone rolls into my restaurant, I say "I don't serve people in wheelchairs." That's just a crazy outcome.

Businesses should provide access to all customers who they wish to serve. By not providing access, the businessman hurts himself and denies himself additonal revenue. Building a ramp may be a very smart choice. But it should be the businessman's choice, not a government mandate.
