True...I should have chosen my wording more carefully. Believe me nothing burns my ass more than things like mandatory smoking bans in private bars and restaurants...or anything else to that effect.

Me too. I think that many Americans feel that the ADA is inherintly punative. It's a slippery, engineering slope of an Act--as most Acts are. It assumes that Americans don't have it in us to do good and be good without being forced.

I'm sorry for your cousin's terrible accident and the condition that is so hard now for the rest of his life, NME. I also want to say that please don't assume that wheelchair confinement and its endless difficulties is something that hasn't touched my loved ones lives. I pushed my little sister around in her end years of horrible suffering from brain cancer. I know from her that being wheelchair-bound is nothing less than hell much of the time.

But two wrongs don't make a right. A free market is a fair market.
