The ADA only exists if WE enforce violations. From curb cut always to Service Dog violations, know this act as well as your name, then take it on yourself to know what you can do. It feels good making a change. I suspect most disabled folks have never read it much less file a complaint.

I never can tell with emails. I don't like the fact that some disabled people bitch to get what they want. In my eyes, our government (made up of citizens not unlike ourselves) does not help keep us alive so that we can nag till we get what we want. Yes I am disabled in a wheelchair, but my grandpa can't slam dunk a basket ball. He needs to gripe until he gets an accessible basket ball goal. My point is we are all disabled in some way and getting angry does not make people want to compassionately help, which is where the "ADA" regulations are misused by people who are rude, pissy, and/or ass holes and still get what they want because it is mandated by the government. Whatever happened to people being polite when asking for help? If I don't want to help someone though I shouldn't be forced to [not that I personally wouldn't want to help]. MISGUIDED MENTALITY: "This store doesn't have a ramp for me. Well I know what I'll do. I'll sue their asses off until the ramp appears." I've always had good manners and I've always had someone to help (Gee I wonder...these two things might be related) Luke c-5/6 incomplete 7 1/2 yrs post -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 4:15 am Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Wheelchair Monologue I really like your attitude Luke.
