George Bush Sr. is a saint! He signed the American’s With Disabilities Act! Today, I walked into Starbucks, and for the thousandth time I saw a guy using his laptop on the special "disabled" desk. He, like all others using the desk, had full use of his limbs, and he was not grotesquely obese. Have you ever had a lot of luggage or something? And you look at the steps and wonder how long and hard it’s going to be…and then, you see the roll-up ramp! Or you walk into a rest-room, and there is that big spacious stall….
From elevators, ramps, bigger seats and more comfy restroom stalls, the American’s With Disabilities Act has been a great boon for fully functional normals! I would even hazard to guess we used "disabled" services and access points more often than the disabled (differently abled, whatever).
