@SteveTapp, "coddle the weak"? Is that what you believe the ADA does? Disabled people are not "weak". If anything, they are brave and strong. It takes a certain amount of bravery to get up every morning and navigate one's way through the world without benefit of sight. As an experiment, you should blindfold yourself for a full day - or even a couple of hours - and see how well you're able to do - in your own home and in your own neighborhood. Then, imagine going out into the world and finding your way to a local store by yourself. Crossing streets. Avoiding hazards on every block. Defending yourself against mentally ill people who abuse you because they can. Go to the store and select an item to purchase - without benefit of signage, without knowing how products differ from one another. Without knowing prices. Make your way to the checkout. Find the line and determine when it it your turn to be helped. Find your money and figure out where you tucked the 5 dollar bills so you don't pay $20 for a tube of toothpaste by accident. Leave the store. oops! You stepped in a pile of dog crap for the 5th time this week. It's hard to believe people are so inconsiderate when they don't clean up after their dogs. Go to a restaurant, where you'll sit alone - again - during a meal because no one wants to take the trouble to communicate with you. And on and on and on. The disabled aren't weak. They're stronger than you can even begin to imagine.

And soon.... radio for the deaf.......

More unfunded mandates to coddle the weak. Started with the stampede to the ADA. I doubt even a nominally Communist country like China or Russia imposes this sort of burden on private business. Ready, Haters? Hit me!
